Your kiss is cotton candy, so sweet and slick and sticky with the flavored sugar burst of the promise of satisfaction but the aftertaste of empty and lost with the artificial color of your last “I love you” spilled before you walked out, the night when I most needed you to fill me with something … Continue reading Cotton Candy
Dance of the Apps We both know.We knew in an instant,but still we do the dance.Out of habitOut of fearWe both want the same thingWe already said itIn so many words.In so many pictures.In so many fantasies. You want to be up.I want to be down.You want to be in.I want to be around.You want … Continue reading We Both Know – The Apps
It takes two to tango,Or so they say.But how many does it take to fall?The pair takes the hit for one misstepOnce the rhythm is broken,We are both on the floor.Disqualified.Lost.Done. I loved the way we moved together.The glide across the floor,Needing to touch.Always more to say.Staring eye to eye.The tangle of the sheets.Intimate.Lustful.Love? I … Continue reading Two Step
I saw a boy on a train, hopping on at a grade crossing and hauling himself into a car full of boxes and straw, and the smell of livestock not quite gone. His eyes full of sparkles and mischief. Barely a beard, belied his 20 years. His body short and graceful and gangly at the … Continue reading Boy on a train
You stand. I kneel.The perfect dance,Where we don’t move,Except those partsWhere you are in me. Sometimes, we pause.My breath stoppedBy your urgency,Which is always mine, too.Your needs are my own. The dance restarts. I inhale,Capturing your scentAnd we go back to our rhythmEach moving to heightenAnd deepen. We take our time,Ensuring the pleasure grows.And the … Continue reading Holy
Restless sleepThe darkest keepOf senseless dreams.And there it seemsThe sleeping heartIs kept apartFrom bitter mindWhere hope once shined,Until the darkPut out that spark. But dreams are stuffWith truth, enough,To cling to day,And as they stayIn space betweenThe day’s routine.They come to feelA bit too real. Then, mornings come,With warnings fromA place of lossThat spans acrossMy … Continue reading Sleep and dreams
Let’s swap some dark for some light. I’ll shotgun you fairy dust and pixie sticks. Breathe it in so I can see your eyes sparkle with it and we can dance on thrift store heels. Let me lick some darkness off your fingers, sticky and bitter, like Turkish coffee, so I can taste your anger … Continue reading Swap some light
I remember seeing you in that dress. I crossed the dance floor just to see if you could be that beautiful. It was one of those skirts from the 40s, where you can only walk high heel to toe. So out of place, and you so perfect in it. It fit your body like it … Continue reading That Dress
I loved to watch you from behind.A work of art.But not in the leavingWithout a word,Not even goodbye.A habit of yoursThat always broke me.Cruel punishmentfor an unnamed crime.The silence echoed.Your absence returned.The emptiness repeated itself,Seemingly forever.The hollow feelingBecoming identity.I was never completewithout you.But then I found othersWho showed me somethingI should have known,But had to … Continue reading To Be Held
Your kiss burned my eyes.A light so brightIt just showed meWhere the darkness is. It’s around me,Even in me,Except in that circleAround that tear. I don’t usually cryWhen I taste the lipsThat someone elseHas shared with me But this time, it’s you:Heart wrenching,Love struck,Perfect. Your kiss burned my eyes.This time,The darknessmade space.
