  • My Ache

    I can’t help how I ache, how I cry with overwhelming feeling. It’s not empty desperation, It’s just that love tightens around my heart like a vice,  Sending streams of tears down my face, into my lap. It’s a longing that chokes me, strips me of any strength to fight it. But I don’t want…

  • Soul Choice

    Existing in a sea of people Only certain hearts glow They call and they echo They transmit till they find home Walking past a sea of souls My intuition reverberated Then my heart saw you “This one,” she said.

  • Tattoo

    A tattoo for every time he’s broken my heart, and now his skin is running out of room.  From his neck to his fingertips…  Black and blue designs telling the story of all his lies. Patchwork on his skin like merit badges, following the pattern of kisses he spilled over me.  Every intimate touch a…

  • It Is You

    My eyes closed, and it was you.  My eyes open, and it is still you. My body reacts- it’s chemical. My heart pounds- it’s sentimental. My face gets hot- it’s inevitable.  My hands roam, and your name escapes my throat in a whispered rasp… All in slow motion and way too fast.  For me, this…

  • Questions for Christopher

    I have my heart in my hands, again, wanting to release it and let it fly into your sky.  I hold my breath- filled with fear. Filled with every excuse and hesitation. What if I’m not enough? What if you aren’t?  What if it’s only temporary? Or even scarier… What if it is forever? How…

  • Only You

    I can only write the truth in my heart.  There is no dream ahead of me, only you right in front of me.  I press my love tightly to my chest in fear of losing you.  All my silent yearning is laid in the dark.  I sigh in hope that my breath will reach you…

  • Garden of Pain

    I can release my pain one drop at a time. Your residue remains like resin on my skin, and I could never shake it off.  There’s beauty in pain they say. Well, every seed must die for the flowers to grow.  So I bury the pain you left me- deep into the rich soil of…

  • Between My Lips

    He’s caught between my lips.  He curls them into a feral grin.  He parts them with longing.  He shushes them with prayer. He’s caught between my lips. He pouts them to remind me how much I miss him. He purses them to send me into thoughts of his touch.  He’s caught between my lips. I…

  • I want to love you…

    I want to love you in so many different ways.  Gently- to protect you from the world when it’s cruel. Sweetly- so I can softly run my fingers through your hair. Possessively- and engulf you with all the lust that burns in my body. Loudly- not for the world to know (though they would), but…

  • My Drug

    I didn’t think I’d be able to  give up my addiction Pain Medication I called him Any time I was drowning in the pain of my loneliness I’d call for him My dealer and my drug The way butterflies would fill me up on my way to him,  You would have thought it was something akin…
