Ricochet
Into my heart
Crashing fatally
Against my ribcage.
Resuscitate me. Bring me to life, but
Don’t disrupt this fantasy
Of you and me.
Tag: Lust
Seduction
Darkness
Creeping through alleys
Toward unsuspecting victims
I’ll capture you
A spider with a fly
In my web of lies
I’m hungry
Looking for food
Fulfilled by lust
You look at me
Tell me you love me
Tell me you want me
And I’m satisfied.
The Way We Talk
Words taking flight
On a trip, traveling up my throat
Flitting across my tongue
And playing at the tip
Where they brush past my lips
And escape.
But what happens
When there are no words?
A different form of communication
Evolves without trying.
Your lips on mine-
The pressure, lingering, intensity
All signs that show me
What you want, need, desire.
A secret code, no-
A secret passed
From one pair of lips to another
A conversation that lasts a lifetime.
This language is our own.
Puzzles
As we stand in a room of puzzles
No puzzle more intricate than us
With your eyes trained on me
Searching for a reaction
But what am I supposed to do?
You always had a way
To make my knees weak with lust
You always had a way
But what am I supposed to do?
Searching for a reaction
With your eyes trained on me
No puzzle more intricate than us
As we stand in a room of puzzles.
Tell Me That You Love Me
Tell me that you love me
I want to hear you say the words,
but also feel them so I know it’s real
and not just my deepest desires. I want
your words to feel so heavy that they create
fire from the friction of being rubbed against
your tongue. I want your eyes to show so
much passion that they make me feel
your arms grasped tightly around
me with just one look. I want
you to make me feel like
there’s nobody else in
the world meant for
you as much as I
am. All it takes is
three heavily
weighted
words.
I love
you.
Elope, We Shall
Again, I fall for that wicked smile
Like a glimpse of sun
On a frigid winter morning.
Perchance your hands will warm my heart with
Elation as they grasp mine in the
Church of lust and no return to the
Island of insecurity from whence we came. I’ll
Abandon my life in a flash for a chance to have a future with you.
Asphyxiation Fixation
An ink scarred hand
Clutching my throat
With the slightest pressure
Causing my windpipes
To be silent
As the image of you
On top of me
Pinning me down
And leaving me without oxygen
Is forever engraved
In the deepest and most sacred
Cavities of my brain.
Brief Satisfaction
I’ll seduce you
With my words
That kiss your ear
And tickle you with pleasure…
Until you can’t get enough of me
And require instant gratification.
With no romance or bedside manners
We’ll go all night
‘Til the sun peaks through the shades
And wakes you.
Then you’ll walk out my front door
Only to be heard from once more
But never seen again.
Because you got what you came for-
Hip bones clashing
In the heat of the moment.
And I got what I wanted-
To be loved
No matter how briefly.
Let’s Run Away
I’ve never seen you before,
I don’t know you-
And yet
If you told me
You see me
Like the silver lining
On your ever present
Gloomy cloud
You hear me
Like the wind
Whispering the secrets
Of life into your ear
You feel me
Like your heartbeat
As your blood rushes
Through your veins
You know me
Like the abandoned home
You lived in through your adolescence
With the fondest memories
I’d drop
e v e r y t h i n g
Leave it all (behind)
At the chance
Of running away with you
For the rest
Of
Our
Lives.
Romance (A Bedroom Story)
In love,
Sames give
Gaining height.
Motionless
(Forgetful)
Yearn his glance here-
I’m timid
Under his firm eyes.
Newly unearthed, unclothed,
The first touch
Of my sleeping dreams
Woke fate.
So beautiful it made me weep
Vainly, I cried.
Lifting mountains
Creating valleys-
Joy!
He Praised the moon
As I sang with desire.
Joy.
Joy so pure
Twilight would rejoice
In our shadows.
Keen.
Keen beyond conceiving
Strictly
There he stood,
My dream.
Flesh was blood-
A mile uphill,
And I could only smile.
With a gasp.
Scorning
Made me move through his anger.
Motions:
Forward
Backward
Side by side.
Arms extended humbly
Between foe and friend,
Between the foolish and the wise,
Immeasurable impatience…
Hold me closer.
Flames
Caused my will to climb
naked, bare, hungry
shoulders pulled against the dark.
Sorrow:
Look,
You’re still a foe.
Let us join blood and flesh.
Imagination-
A drug…
Giving a heart,
A mind.
Though dull, you taste bright
Though bitter, you are sweet.
Truth-
I say-
Love his soul!
Love him whole.
