Stolen kisses
Kisses stolen of a night
Making lust take wild flight
Hands meet in rampant grasp
As breaths join in lover’s gasp
Skin touches as electric spark
Soft lips find their every mark
Arms grip fast in hungry lust
Legs wrap tighter with each thrust
Breasts heave with growing pace
Back arches with feline grace
Passion fuelling animal sound
As love this night is found abound
Frantic movement without thought
Freeing us of all that’s fraught
Seed is sown at loves release
Our torrid...
Making lust take wild flight
Hands meet in rampant grasp
As breaths join in lover’s gasp
Skin touches as electric spark
Soft lips find their every mark
Arms grip fast in hungry lust
Legs wrap tighter with each thrust
Breasts heave with growing pace
Back arches with feline grace
Passion fuelling animal sound
As love this night is found abound
Frantic movement without thought
Freeing us of all that’s fraught
Seed is sown at loves release
Our torrid...

Still paying dues
Freestyle puts the brakes on fake shit / Escapist tricknollegy / Stay-in-your-placist heuristics / Sprees to remake / Ground up in the idea marketplace / Beguiled wit / 3 mile smile like my first taste of the clit / Taking the decades like Grace Slick / Gracefully abrasive quips / Escaping ape-shit-uations like Charlton Heston / Still digesting the Infinite Lesson / Instantly put yourself in your own heaven / Prone to delving into elevation / At home with the last generation to be raised by Vietnam vets / Dome arrayed for Generation X to Generation What's next / Raised by entitled princesses...

on the edge
off a windswept island's
rocky ledge
life
is best felt
on the edge
to live
is more than
mere survive
next to death's where
you're most alive
some say passion
some say thrill
i say pushing
own will
makes one go
atop the hill
stand on the edge
flare nostrills
take deep breath
living is real
ordinary life
steps
on treadmill
rocky ledge
life
is best felt
on the edge
to live
is more than
mere survive
next to death's where
you're most alive
some say passion
some say thrill
i say pushing
own will
makes one go
atop the hill
stand on the edge
flare nostrills
take deep breath
living is real
ordinary life
steps

Til death do us part
You hear my sobs from the other side of the bathroom door
You press your calloused hands against the door you built, wondering if you could do more
I'll bet you wonder how we got here and why
Being once so young and alive
In defeat, you sink down to the floor
I find it somewhat comforting as I can see your shadow beneath the door
I never thought we could feel so unbound
And you never thought you would have to worry about your feet no longer touching the ground
Still, I cry into a towel, hoping to suppress the sound
I don't...

Fiction
Stories are found in every medium
Defining the truth can be hard
Peoples fibs perchance be devious
To have you drop your guard
Factual yesterday’s written in history
We trust this can’t be untrue
Yet we find some history is contradictory
To other books world view!
Even media can tell a lie
And the work-shy will share like gospel
Fabrications, in a blink of an eye
How they treat the truth is awful
Not all is so ‘doom and gloom’
Submerged in literatures fantasy
Pages after pages, imaginations costume ...

surrogate
she was giving birth, a surrogate mother, to a rich childless couple. she had been instructed to not look at the baby, did and relented, she had given birth
a wonderful newborn how could she give it away?
sensible people told her it was for the best, the child would get a good education, she the mother could not give her.
Under pressure by the righteous, she gave the baby away
but she will forever regret her decision.

Keep dream...never let go
Some days...I want to hide...some days I would like to waste the day away...some days I would like to run away and never come back...would like to leave it all behind...
Yes we all have to face reality... But just sometimes you have to let go and just dream...dreams are just soo beautiful based on how you create it. Dreams can also be realistic based on how much you want to reach out and grab it...with hopes of never letting go.
So beautiful to just fade, so beautiful to feel free and escape...and sometimes it can be soo beautiful enough that you end up crying tears of release, joy...

I'm The One
I’m the one that got away
I’m the one you could not play
Riddle me this
Riddle me that
Too classy to fiddle since I’m a violin
And as hard as you tired I could never let you in
Could never let you win because I would lose
No holiday so lady sing the blues
I’m familiar with your song… siren, so I sounded the alarm
Rang so loud I went deaf to elude the harm
The longer I’d look the more I’d see
The more you’d accomplish the less I’d achieve
I’m the one that knew the rules
And avoided that line you conjured of fools ...
I’m the one you could not play

Lost
So lost am I in this ocean
Drifting far from the shore
Floating in uncertainty
Unsure of where to land
I go with the flow of the current
Surrendering to the will of life
Letting the hands of fate take me
To where I am supposed to be
The waves carry me off
Like a driftwood far into the ocean
Far away from the things I knew and love
I am lost in this tempest
Surging through me
The harbor looks so near and yet so far from me
I feel a sense of hopelessness
Cast away from everything familiar to me
Into the vast...
Drifting far from the shore
Floating in uncertainty
Unsure of where to land
I go with the flow of the current
Surrendering to the will of life
Letting the hands of fate take me
To where I am supposed to be
The waves carry me off
Like a driftwood far into the ocean
Far away from the things I knew and love
I am lost in this tempest
Surging through me
The harbor looks so near and yet so far from me
I feel a sense of hopelessness
Cast away from everything familiar to me
Into the vast...

Crawl Your Way Out
I've lost everything
Does holding to it all still make me weak?
I'm guilty of this, I know it's a flaw
Can't find the words to sing to say what's wrong
Somebody please tell me where to go
I'm lost, alone, tryna find a road
To a place called home like the prodigal
I want redemption, if possible
A chance for me to say a simple sorry
For not minding spirit but minding body
A chance for a turnaround, to reverse the hurt I'm nursing
While I work at a better version
Imagine being on a long road with the wrong load
At the...

The Engbergs
It's okay I was your high school crush.
Jaeda Engberg.
You thought you won and didn't.
Your family will pay for it anyways....
Llke they always have for you and always will...
We should have called it quits a year in...maybe two...
You don't truly know poverty and never will...
You don't and can't understand depression and will never try...
I can't believe the best part of my day were the thoughts of
'Is she gone yet?'
Getting off of a 50 hour work week
'god I hope she's in bed'
'I hope...

Black Dog
black dog
no leash
like my shadow
always following
never greets me at the door
never lets me pet his fur
all my feelings go away
when my black dog comes to stay
and when moon chases the sun
I see my black dog on the run
no fence I built could keep him in
because he digs under my skin
everybody thinks I’m doing fine
they never see this dog of mine
perhaps the things I can’t erase
called my black dog in the first place
all the things that shouldn’t be
are tied together like string
and when I...
