Across these lips
Scarlet red of love
The beating heart of a dove
May these flightless wings fly me away to the soul cut out of the same star
-Someday I do eagerly pray.
I see him just above the crescent moon, shining in reckless majesty.
He is the king of my idolatry
At great distance my body pulls in cosmic chemistry
Like a magnetic puzzle piece that fits so perfectly
I know he, his soul, his skin doth bleed
We, stirred up in romantic mystery, divinely created in the rapture of sea.
How can he deny me, nor I deny thee
It shapes in the fluidity of the key made under sun
Both chambered in each other, we are a destined fit
His poetry designs who I am, his smile unlocks me
My arms are empty without he, I hug the sand beneath
-Until the universe replenishes the same shooting star to travel alongside me

The City
You are the city that knows my name
In the strength of your walls I secure my claim
Under the glim of your lights
I dance in the sparkle of your hills, I Jump in the puddles of your rains.
Sidewalks are the journey to my landlocked dreams
I place my greatest hope in streets, in the building seams
My eyes wander to the peak of your majesty,
I journey there to write down my hopes, bury my travesty
The colors of your sunset speak, your skies enlighten and draw out
In amber waves pulling strength to all that's weak

Wasted On Love
Wasted on love
Splattered across the rocks
Drowning in the sea
Driftwood alone
I dreamt, I spent
All of me
The depths wept
If chivalry existed
I could've slept
Ate from its core
Oxygen in lungs
Breathing in its scent
Not failing or falling
But foot held safely
No stumbling to partake
Only peace at every gate
Wait....wait....wait

The Fog
The fog that I feel
The dense pressure is real
Ancient winds blow thru
Darkness covers sight of blue
All focus is on what I can't see
Such an empty pulling has stricken me
Mire. A Prayer.
I will sing til the walls come down
I will shout til the victory is found
I will not bow although the fire grows higher
And I will wait as you wash me from the mire

Fated To Be Found
You can't trust me because I belong In your daunted past
My face rests in shadows that fall on sheaths of pangs, ring out loud screaming my
name.
You shut me out, although I'm the same, I've suffered all the shame.
We were stripped naked from each others arms, plucked out from a dream of stars, left
alone with deepened scars.
Human flesh played God to tear a lovers covenant, in the name
Of holiness they gouged their sword, they did not save us, but buried our hearts in the
ground...
Mine still beats but it's too far down and if you could hear it, it would only remind you
of what was lost and never
fated to be found.

My Heart Pulls (not naive to the eyes of a man's desires)
My heart pulls
Is it unhealthy to reminisce of what could've been or what could be?
My mind wanders off to a place where you and I exist.
The cosmic stars pull my heart out of my chest to where it longs to be, somewhere with yours.
But somehow I feel my love for you is a burden,
You close your eyes and cast it off.
I desire the same until the moment comes & the universe speaks your name.
Again & again... My heart pulls.
In love with the mystery
You are in love with the mystery,
Ive been opened, you've already conquered me.
Now to seek, your eyes see fresh flesh,
Another to daydream, a new dress to impress.
You wish to kiss her cheek, a blushing beauty, hourglass physique.
You play on her interests, gather her likes, become what she's made of -apple & splice,
You feed on her instincts, ravage her time, and when she is swooned over, another name already catches your eye.

The Scene Inside Of Me
I lie here naked, floating like a leaf down stream
Evoking a rushing in my pulse
The watery ripples gleam
Pulled apart by rock
Gliding, trickling so effortlessly
The sun reflects the most dazzling of sights
Dancing off the face of the liquid surface
Mirror images of myself I see
A stranger stares back at me
Do I know this woman wrapped in nudity?
Vulnerability has left its mark
Adorning bare chest
With the gift of serenity
With all that's been wasted
The soft breeze replenishes the scene inside of me
Breathe in the fall of my humanity
Like the fresh breath of the new life of nature on a tree
Embracing the flawed life
Sinking in the wet saturation of the being that is me

The Golden Deck
I can not waste love on someone who does not love back,
May the stars cut him from my chest so I can be forever free as is he
He attaches himself to loves whom reject, but I, the flesh who wants him, he wants not.
Dust collects, his heart dies slowly-atrophy for me.
In I, this soul, that is not an option you see, my current state of boundary
Yet still love he, I've longed for escape but find it not
Love, even in pain, is the only way I can see he
-his ghost.
Am I a troubled soul? Is he? Aren't we all at times, if not more.
The spiritual scripture tells, blessed are those who suffer For those that suffer feel, live, breathe what is real.
In my mind, the future is not dead, nothing is promised
But can I not dream instead
Of possibility?
Without hope, the heart is sick,
Tired, tired, sleeping
Awake me then, if there's anything left.
But I need the whole, not pretend.
To the future, I drink to that.
If that not be in the hold of God's universe
Then may my Maker tuck me into the bliss of his heavens
Where I live in his peace
I will tread where angels sweep wing on the golden deck.

Just A Girl In The World.
I can be ghetto, I can be thug
Show me the dance floor and I'll cut a rug
I can hold my class like a smooth wine glass
But sometimes I'm raunchy, I may be crass
Just a girl in the world
Lines get blurred
Seriousness turns to silliness
Yearns for youthful bliss
In the innocent things
I surely miss
Blaring music in crazed dance
Somber stillness to trance
From highs to lows
This day blows
Surely it's groundhog repeat
I need the beach to soak my feet
Break the monotonous glaze
Give me a thrill, on a shoulder raise
I live in my dreams
Too much pressure in reality
Do you really see me
Or does your mind play who you want me to be?
I am of spiritual grain
Although struggle with the rules of strain
I try to be the purest, but hold down the sensuality to be my truest
I love far too deep
Too painful to be kept, to keep
To the outside I am smiles, I am funny
But on the inside I can be kind of dark and muddy
No one really knows me except for me
And the God above who more simply created me

December (love).
A drawing of souls, a mystical reaction.
Explosion, satisfaction.
The heart is tempered into action, beating fast in amorous passion.
Breathe deeper in lovelust,
Bodied Angels sweeping up the dust.
Slowed, rushed.
Skin weakens, touched, pink cheeks flushed.
Under night skies the feeling falls, vulnerable as flesh calls.
Key, unlocked walls.
No line, no withdraw on the horizon of lover's laws.
Lips linger longing, exhales of the radiant belonging.
Emotion, exploring.
Heated skin covering, swells of outpouring.
Intertwined fingers, flighted feet of embers.
Forget not, remember.
Intoxicating warmth melts the coldest night of December.
