Innocent Night

It's the innocent night
that peers on me now
but it cannot read these
deliriously
delicious thoughts
making these
innocent limbs
cry out
in feverish whims

Wild, Orchid Heart

Buried in the backyard
of someone else's dream
nickel smell of a newly
turned soil
oh, the choking roil

spring
summer
fall
leaves collecting all
ivy planting
roots chanting
& a lusty cloud
devouring the
silver glow
of a rapturous moon show

tickling
prickling
a new bud did grow

ashes
to
ashes

lightning flashes

dust
to
dust

angry sky mimicking disgust

old heart buried
now becoming one
with earth

& in the seductive glow
of a ruddy sunset
a wild heart did rise
throwing head back
thunder now in my eyes
wild orchid
sighs

Safe Haven

Screaming ambulance of
violent upheaval outside

Inside, my ankles are wrapped around
his thrusting hip gift
ecstasy
& all its
passionate uplift

I said; He said

I said I wanted to burn it all
so he brought a fresh match

I said I wanted to bury it all
so he brought a shiny shovel
for all the dirty soil to catch

I said I was going to hide
I yelled as I began to run

He said
"You better run faster, hun"

Love promising
to catch us both

Saying Hello to the Girl Before

Before the pain
Before the hard strain
I was a free spirit
No cage could cage me
A wild, lustrous mix of
introvert vs
extrovert
Just a free girl

There were no chains
No echoing
droning
symphonic
strains

Before the depression
Before the self repression
I flew above the thunder clouds
Naked
Without the funereal shrouds

Love did not have one definition
It was visceral
No simple replication
And honey
I loved
without
suffocation

And here I sit
Hand in hand
With that girl so grand
A better balance of the two
dancing in the sand

19 Pristine

Sneaking in the local bar
Jaeger Meister and
taking everything
a bit
too far

Figure 8 gait
Slow cadence to the
lonely, handsome gent

That girl was so free
So long ago
I sometimes wonder
if that was even me

3 hours sleep
Wake up
Work
Rock concert
Screaming weep
Getting high
on a dusty road
at midnight
watching all the
banshees take flight

I teased
but never gave myself away
French kissing
Pushing
Waking up with myself the next day
Fresh, new lip gloss
I'd go about my way
Laughing hysterically
Do it all again
another day

19 pristine
I was a little
bitchy queen
No care in the world
I'm now
shaking hands
with that girl

Show Me Love

It's fucking hard
I have to paint myself as some
dark, gothic, don't-give-a-fuck chic
around my family
Change it up real quick
and smile sweet
when I meet
a stranger
on the street
Change it up
Mask
For
Task
Hand me a full flask

I'm sick of waiting
Show me love
Wrap me real soft
in your satin glove
You know?
That endless hug
Make it so fucking sweet
I give up this mask
of feeling
like a thug.

She Beast

She was a prowler
A midnight howler
  before I stamped her down
Fangs showing
Blood dripping and glowing
Yes
I remember her
As I tame her to a restless purr

Unsheathed ten
Claws digging in
To your tender skin
Legs twining and wrapping
Heart thunder rapping
Needing more
Fill me to my core

Demure and pure
Sitting in the shadows
She beast
Walking to the gallows
Because I've undressed you
a thousand times
Put you in a number of different positions
Our skin melding in a symphony of rhymes

She beast
Patiently waiting
Teeth starting to show
Bring your feast

Satin Sheets & Red Wine

Our love story is
written
between satin sheets
with spilled red wine
as you trace my every line

Technical Difficulty

I'm not always
so easy to read
Simplistic in my
overstated complications
How far into the shadows
will you run?
How fast can you duck
as I click
my six-shooting
mouthy gun?
Overthinking & shy
Sexy & fun
Pleasure & pain
Thunder & gentle rain
Taking
Taking
Giving it back again
Insatiable beyond belief
Deep kisses to steal my breath
kind of relief

Dark Paradise

His is the darkness I crave
Teeth grazing my tender skin
Biting
Tugging
Undulating sin
Waking me from a deep sleep
Pulling me deeper in

Love Trap

Tender thighs
Opening
Slender ankles
Crossing
Wrapping 'round you
Pulling you
Deeper in
Velvet night caress
Snug in the
Jewel of me

Fingers tracing
Heart racing
Hips rising
No time for
Compromising
The deal is done
Seems
We both won

New Storm Rising

I'm dreamin' again

Your arms wrapped around me
Pulling me closer
Melding

It's stormin' again

Rain pelting the windows
My head on your naked chest
The cadence of your breathing
So steady and calm
Eyes drift close as
Lightning streaks
Thunder breaks

A sigh escapes my pouting lips
Blushing and swollen from
your passionate overtake
Areolae coquettishly clinching
in their own surrender
as the rest of my body
follows suit

The storm outside
raging
while I curl into
the comfort of you

Moonlit Garden

Velvet petals
opening
unraveling
blooming
ready

Touch of dew
glowing

Ardent kiss
madness & bliss

Language Redefined

Chest heaving
The climb so long
Beads of sweat
Trickling
Between breasts
Rising and falling

Quietly I slip
Into your surround

Fairytale battle
Easing with your
Knowing touch
Words no more
As you write a new language
On my skin
So tender and bare

Hippy Chic

Homemade skirt
Eyes flashing
Feet stomping dirt
Free as a bird
Untangling a verse
To all I heard

Music of the Night

Laying in cool grass
Legs crossed
Foot tappin'
Hand reachin' up
Countin'
One-by-one
Shooting stars

Tufts of light
Painting the sky

Maybe We

Maybe you
Maybe me
Maybe we

Sitting & talking
About the
Falling, falling things
About the biggest
Little things

Getting lost in the
Finding
The you
The me
The we

Fallen Feather

I soared up
I touched the sky
Fallen feather falling
I never knew
It was love I was calling

Til now

Comfortable Soul

Stretching
Yawning
Afternoon nap delight
A soul basking
in the warm sunlight
