NO MATTER
NO MATTER
I can just let you hold me as I'm looking right at you
and you can hold me so close as you look into my eyes.
But, you have absolutely no idea, an inkling or a clue
how many times the very thought of you makes me cry.
I think about you constantly, I'm wooed by your charms
it has me often wondering what it truly would be like.
to get lost in your embrace and wrapped up in your arms
anytime during the day but most especially at night.
Just to know you're available and really want...

REJECTION
REJECTION
I launch myself at the idea of a hint of hope,
I throw myself into the notion of happiness true,
I jump head first into something I that could cope,
I find myself yet alone, feeling sad and blue.
The steady reminder that I'm not who's wanted,
The sharp feeling of not being ever being choosen,
Too much baggage or drama as if I am haunted,
The constant pain of being not worthy as if frozen.
Unworthy of love, of being the one that's picked
Being someone that is seen as being desirable or needed
The one who's shoved...

Way too Long
The taste of your
skin on my lips …
I need to tell ya baby,
It’s been way too
long…
Just way too
long.
My hands tightly
gripping your hips…
I need to tell ya baby,
It’s been way too
long…
just way too
long.
Your head on my
chest little girl…
I need to tell ya baby,
It’s been way too
long…
Just way too
long.
The warmth of my tongue
on your pearl…
I need to tell ya baby,
It’s been way too
long..
Just...

I need to tell ya baby,
It’s been way too

Your head on my

Are You Following Me?
One shuffled,deck of cards, morning.
The post woman,who took
Me aside,and standing riggidly,outside my front door,
proceeded 2 tell me that she used 2 be a man.
( why she told me that,I don't know-)
Well,
She delivered 2 me,
A parcel,
Once opened,
Exposed 2 me,
2 stuffed crows,
Their bodies,
Wrapped up with a yellow bow.
Not clear enough,
2 distinguish completely,
But could smell-----∆∆∆

ADIEU TO YOU
ADIEU TO YOU
All good things must come to an end
that's what people sometimes say
so what I call "our loving relationship"
will just slowly fade and drift away.
With no tears nor recriminations
to stop was just a matter of time moments we've shared together
have reached the end of the line.
Our time together was very special
we'll not forget how could we ever
it was beautiful and lasted so long
neither could've wished for any better.
As we will bid each other farewell
and do our best to try & not be sad...

To Feed a Vampire
You come seeking me when you're lonely
Don't pretend otherwise because I know
It's perfectly alright to keep coming to my door
When your chest aches and you need love
You know the knock and words to say
I'm your friend, always and forever
I said once that I'd always be here
There's never been a time I've turned you away
And here I am to catch your teeth in my flesh once more
So let me cut my arm open for you
So that you might have a good meal
You don't treat me like fast food at least
You're a hero now and few people know
That...
Don't pretend otherwise because I know

There's never been a time I've turned you away
And here I am to catch your teeth in my flesh once more
So let me cut my arm open for you

Stages and Books
I'll never say these words outloud
Will never be a household name
My words won't be wrapped in paper
To be given full of nerves on a holiday
My phrases will be known to few
On a site I've been on since I was young
I don't know how people can do it
To stand before an audience and say poetry
I did that once and changed the words around
I said fuck love and got disqualified
Such things happen when I try to win prizes
My words dont make a lot of sense to people
My grammar isnt always correct
I rarely use punctuation and rarely...

HUSH
HUSH
QUIET-- I still my heart and deny myself his memory. Smothering out the sounds that once set me free.
SILENCE-- Wiping off those mirrors, images of a warm embrace. Forgeting the rainbow colors when I saw your smiling face.
LOUD-- Too loud, the crushing sounds of when I was once his. A symphony of no reason, now have brought me to this.
WORDS-- Words, now with no meaning, painted on silken skin. Are etched like tattoos as a reminder of our lustful sin.
EMPTY-- A new day always comes and brings with it its new light. As I move forward...

In Too Deep
I know I'm not the only one
But the only one I neeeed
is someoooone to love
What is it that makes me feel
Gotta find somebody
Somebody Thats real
Lord knows
that I muuuuust
I just don't know who
I can truuust
please help find the one
You made for me...
come show me
what love really means
The only thing that my heart needs
Someone to hold and love me
To keep me
from running these streets
I wanna feel that rush
That makes me...

Kitty
A playful tall tail sways back and forth
In sync like a metronome, I’m intrigued
Like a small mouse within my total reach, I paw you back and forth. A toy and its kitty.
Every once in a while I will slyly grin, and release your tail to see who will win.
My paw or your feet.
I love your small squeaks.
A toy and it’s kitty.
I know it’s rude to play with food. Food for thought, how rude is it to toy with me?
You’re well beyond your lease. Nothing in life comes free. Squatters won’t get one up on me.
So...

Spot
I went to our spot
A few days ago
I call it our spot
You probably don't
I saw all the ships
I saw all the lights
I went to our spot
And there I cried
And there I lost
My freedom, my joy
Forever taken
By a stupid stupid boy
A few days ago
I call it our spot
You probably don't
I saw all the ships
I saw all the lights
I went to our spot
And there I cried
And there I lost
My freedom, my joy
Forever taken
By a stupid stupid boy

Dear Moon
Dear Moon, I went back to the parking spot last week to see if the sky was any clearer this time. Every time I drive by I see you being formed in the constellations, only to realize that you weren’t a star but a comet passing by. We grazed hands and at long-last, a probe wasn’t landed; I can’t say that much for you from before.
Dear Moon, I know that I cannot say anything, and that I really shouldn’t, but it’s so hard when others question.
Dear Moon, I wish I could return to that night with you. I wish I could return to that hill with you. I wish I could’ve brought another blanket...
