Heavy In Dust

Will you always be out of reach
Painted smile of golden wheat
Your hands once taught
The love I sought
Without warning you disappeared
My eyes shut up & teared
Poetry pelted roughly against my soft soul
My hands recreated you in artistic coal
You skipped over me like a stone
My arms, you once cried, were your home
The most awakened memory of us
Now Buried heavy in dust

Original poetry by Keila Coate Womack #redcoate

One More Time

I desire more of your attention
Your eyes pierce through me in amorous tension

You satisfy my mind with words falling from fruitful lips
Time fermented into sweet wine from which I sip

I memorize the bone of your cheek
I refrain from locked glance that releases what I speak

Secret soul ties in the minds eye
You left your finger print in blood red die

Without knowing, you understand
I spin in a repetitive dream of holding your hand

The elation of bodies wrapped in one
One smooth kiss and I am under your thumb

We walk through this world on a canvass of chrome
Unlike a journey most have known

Bathing in stars in moonlit baths
Encircled in candles from distant maps

Dancing on through delightful doorways
Spontaneous passages of Shakespearean plays

Drinking on the dew of despaired poetry
And falling recklessly in love with the waves of the sea

These visions rushed through me simply from catching your eyes on mine
I look away, remember you, and look back one more time

Love's Sting

Love's sting

How it Rings in my ear

Flashing words illuminate 

Heat burnt in my lungs

Now you disappear 

Amber residue of you 

Your warm finger tips that stilled my skin

Once delicate 

Now turn to cold sin

A chilling draft that runs down my spine

But you still shine

You are a reckless glory

Broken glass etches your name

You are vague but I still see your silhouette  of frame 

Your lips full of disdain

A lovers wasted domain 

You steal the innocence of purity 

I shake the heavy off my chest 

Wash my hands of holding your shame 

Move on although I love you

I leave this question to rest

I hold my head up, I hold no blame

Music Junky

Music junky

Music...

It makes me bleed

Makes me see

Makes the dormant parts free

Takes me high

Gives my memory an alibi 

Brings me back

Takes me forward 

Causes me to cry

Heavy deepened sigh

I dip lyrics in coffee

Stains my soul forever

Marks of melody

Spurred on by harmony

A song can haunt

Like a joyous taunt 

I breathe

I need

I read

Indeed

Every line 

To decipher 

If it's a song like me

Paints my picture

Outlines me quicker

The power of it

I'm soaked in greed

Can't get enough

Stingy for one more seed

Of a moment lost

In music

I crave

I bathe 

My thoughts

My dreams 

My daily scenes

In serenade

Well played

Can't escape 

It's too late

I am what I am

A music junky.

Rainy Nights

Rainy nights

Fast lights 

Makes the body buz right

Star light 

Star bright

You're the one in moonlight 

Slight smile

Stay awhile 

Boy you know I like your style 

Quick grip

Round trip

Perfect taste off your lip

Mountain drive 

Out  in five 

Make the blood flow-thrive 

Run fast

Move past

Fading moment of the last 

One wink

Don't think 

Take you in like a drink 

You fly 

I sigh 

Your face could make a soul cry

Color My Dreams

Color my dreams

Bird song in caged heart

Blood red for you 

Keep me high

Be my fever 

My star at night

My wind in flight 

Sultry emerald eyes

Stare a hole into my soul

Breathe words of love

Hot ease down my neck 

Crush my fears 

Bittersweet symphony 

You are the white in wing 

The  crane that lifts 

The sky falls frozen 

Sautered edge of devotion 

Give me warmth of palm 

Skin pouring in 

A glass of emotion 

Step into your presence 

Barefoot and barren 

Clothe me in gentleness 

Tear drop on my shoulder 

You are the beholder of me

Color my dreams

Vulnerability...is...key

Vulnerability...is...key

Wish you could be more delicate 

Slide your fingers between mine and let our eyes dance in lines

Be foolish in romance 

In love with a strange twist 

Loosen your stale stance and drop my body into a flip

Get wasted on thin air, sip on a lover's drink 

Throw away caution,  fall into illusion 

Vulnerability...is...key 

Break apart, melt down,

Suffer for one touch 

Burn out from flame

My name, your name

Runs into the same faded portrait 

Rain washed skin, deep waters 

Wasted  in aspiration 

Weeping words of  Need 

Speak bright Angel, be free

Vulnerability...is...key
