Fine
I’ve perfected “fine”
black dog snarling, nipping heels
(scared I’m losing ground)
I’m a badass, watch me run
you can’t see what’s chasing me

Gemma
she calls me daily
to check and see my feelings
sometimes I ignore
our history sticks to me
hard moving on, let me be
to check and see my feelings
sometimes I ignore
our history sticks to me
hard moving on, let me be

somewhere in-between
half white half spanish
many parts of me vanish
depending who sees
I’m your friend and family
do not turn your back on me
many parts of me vanish
depending who sees
I’m your friend and family
do not turn your back on me

Anchored
red cheeks in the cold
warming eyes opening my heart
wider than the sky
a beauty beyond measure
she anchors my very soul

Tanka - Amorous Flow
Eyes strumming heart-strings
beating in double four time
making hot blood race
to erect a monument
dedicated to our love

a worth more than it's weight in gold~ (a tanka of truth)
Lovers' hands entwined,
Then, a squeeze to remind her
how unique theirs is;
Two sides of the same rare coin—
Invaluable in whole

Essence
forgetting to breathe
as i become lost in her
a name on my lips
that simply tastes so divine
the very essence of love
as i become lost in her
a name on my lips
that simply tastes so divine

Pointless
deep inside my mind
the hamster wheel is spinning
turds fly everywhere
distractions push-taunt-pulling
rush-rushing ever nowhere

Learning To Swim (NoPoo 87)
without any thought
Diving into her ocean
New swimming lessons
this perfection in drowning
Is the place i want to be
Diving into her ocean
New swimming lessons

Captured (NoPoo 86)
She captured my soul
so oblivious to the world
I see only her
the genesis of passion
within our new universe
so oblivious to the world
I see only her
the genesis of passion
within our new universe

Exquisite (NoPoo 85)
a conquest of fire
entirely magnificent
glimpes of heaven
exquisite wild and willful
Finally submitting all

Lost In Possession (NoPoo 65)
posessing my soul
the energy of her fire
burns me forever
My universe so undone
Claiming my very being
the energy of her fire
burns me forever
My universe so undone
Claiming my very being
