Music floats lazily through the muggy July air
Our legs are intertwined, but like never before
Your face is alongside mine,
there's a fire gleaming our cheeks

I can't help but feel a little electricity
as you stroke my hair,
and peek at me through timid eyes
Exasperated, I murmur,

"Fire. I can't take it anymore."
Set to collision, I twist my body nearer
Your hands graze my waist as
our lips meet fervidly, rhythmically

Impulse and emotion lull
you cuddle nearer and caress my face
I encircle my arms around your shoulders
"This trip did something," I whisper,
"I see you differently."

I can almost feel his scruffy chin brushing against my neck

I can hear his smokey voice grazing my outer ear

I feel his stalwart arms around my ribs

Five years from now, he'll transition into who

He has always been on the inside

He always meets the mirrors in his dreams when he's awake

There’s a whirlwind caught in my hair
There’s a hurricane ringing in my ears
My eyes are starting to flood
Your words are painted on
every wall on my mind.

I never wanted to mimic
Nor try to steal your thunder,
I just absorb your lightening outbursts
as if they were soft raindrops
And kiss your looming electricity

But there’s one thing I’ve learned
About all the thunder and lightening,
It doesn’t mean that you’re explosive,
It just means that you give me drive,
To keep you going

I am free
My shackles have
fallen to the floor
My wounds are healed
My scars are a story
now in the past

I am free
My heart is mended
My once bleak outlook,
now shines with positivity
A bright future
now lies ahead

I am free
Liberated of self harm
Cured of self pity
Safe from myself
I have found stability
and I'm starting fresh

I am free
My weight has been lifted
My stars appear brighter
My happiness has returned
I have recovered

And now, I am free

If there was a way,
I would hand you
Every moon and
Endless numbers
Of sweet nothings
Written on the stars

I love the curve of
Your smile to the curve
Where your neck
Meets you shoulders
And all your little things
In between

Your hazel eyes and
Your soft pink lips,
I love when the smoke
Puts you out and you
Talk in your sleep
I love to see your peace

My love, here we are
Against the unforgiving world
I will always hold you tight
I'll never leave your side
I know you feel you're broken
But I'll help you love you

Slap me
Choke me
Bite me

Show me you own me
I am your property
Your ****

Spank me
Cane me
Violate me

Tease me
I'll please you
Kiss me once

I live to please you.

Snap, snap, wince
It's slowly coming
back into routine

Snap, snap, gasp
A room full of
milling people in
the muggy heat

Snap, snap, ouch
Always one too far
Now I remember this
gratifying therapy
