Softly whisper my name
I need to remember
I need to recall
I have forgotten
The sound
Which once fell from
Passionate lips.
There remains
Nothing more than
Echoes
In my brain
Of hearts now vanished.

Have Mine
Take it one step at a time baby.
You’ve lost your heart,
Here
Have mine.
I’ve lost my mind.
We will both get better.
Just give it time.

Back To Love
I want to hear you whisper my name
With a craving ignited
From unrevealed dimensions
Within.
(A breathless
Quivering voice.)
Eager.
Crawling on hands and knees.
Whispering as you plead for water;
Begging to saturate your parched lips.
I want to feel your hands searching for treasures;
Your fingertips wandering with anticipation
Of
New found discoveries
And your lips to trail every last inch of me
In dire need of reciprocation.
I want to feel you
Shudder
And reach a point of such great intensity,
A
Summit so high,
Your whole body becomes immobilized
Waiting for oxygen.
And I want to be the breath of life
That brings you back to
Love.

To Busy
Her voice is soft.
She tries to look you in the eyes.
Oh how she would love you to hear
The words she speaks,
But,
You are to busy listening to yourself
And what you have to say
To hear anyone else.

Old Piano
Once this old piano knew happy days
For music brings joy
And passion.
Cobwebs and dust have settled on the keys.
Broken strings and rust sleep well
In dark places.
Notes forgotten
For it cannot play itself
Back to
Music.
Yearning for the feel of
Warm fingers upon
The ivory;
For harmonious voices to join in
All its melodic glory;
For bodies full of life and love to glide and swing as one.
Silence plays
Alone.
Time does not forget,
People do.

Misplacing
I look at my feet
And try to will them to move.
Just keep moving.
(if you are feeling empty that means you can be filled up)
Step to the floor and stand up dear girl.
(just move)
Don’t let your mind go under.
Lift your gaze from the ground.
(look around)
Stop misplacing your mind.
It does not leave you
But you do.
(try to smile and move if just a little bit)

Momma Said
Momma said she quit
And a thousand times
I smelled it sleeping on her breath.
Lies. Secrets. Whispers.
Deals in the shadows.
Cop cars and knives.
Mixed in the coke can,
I’d take a sip and choke.
Swallowed with pills.
Bottles
Almost empty.
Tucked behind the bed.
Hidden in drawers and shelves.
She thought she had me fooled
But then she’d forget.

Longing
Some are born with a longing.
With questions unanswered at first breath.
The ones from beyond the bonds of gravity.
An innate craving.
They are led to believe they are crazy.
They know
If you do not dare to go looking beyond the other side
Then you will never find
What you’ve been longing for.
Everything in them pulls them elsewhere;
Outside the constraints of the body.
Limitless.

Lost
How can I be lost
When I am right here.
I touch my lips.
Lost.
Yet I have not left.
I speak.
I hear my voice
Yet
Ears do not stop and hear
Nor tongues reply.
I am
Yet
I am not.

Neglect
Neglect
Kills beauty inside and out.
Everyone
Heals.
They
Blossom and grow
If you tend to them.
