With love, I never learned to breathe deep.
I never learned to hold with open hands;
I never learned to be still with love.
So if you love me hold me tightly, please.
Do not let me fall beside my silence;
Do not let me wait here with closed fists.
Teach me what love can be for girls like me.
Guide me along the stream of deep feelings;
Where you and I can belong for a time.

Since Young I have been good at slowing down time
Oozy and woozy;
Let’s trip and make it stop.
Like that time I let lips
I didn’t know touch mine.
I lost seconds when I walked down the street;
gliding on clouds,
Since then its been slipping by,
But since young I have been good at slowing down time.

Everyone has on their best dress,
Sunday afternoon,
Sitting in the pew.
I went rolling in the mud,
And soiled my sleek black shoes.
They all sing along to the same tune
Stand and sit down; Unity.
My voice is out of tune,
Give me a minute.

The sun poked its head in the world,
Laid itself on the open beach,
Soaked in it’s rays
And basked in the light,
Only it can give,
Never burnt, but always shining.
Remembered the old friends she used to see;
she remembered me.
The sun stepped into my home,
And asked for a cup of tea.
“No,” I said, “I am not used to the flames
And your light is too blinding for me right now.”
“But I never get to see you, I miss you. Let me stay awhile.”
“Fine, but only if you take a shower.”

My neck is sore,
My feet aches,
My head pounds,
But my body moves,
Circle,
Jump,
Pace,
A need to touch and be touched.
Music unfiltered gyrations:
Flapping,
Squeezing,
Wandering fingers
Hands grabbing onto thin air.
I need to move.
I need to feel.
Slap, punch, pull,
My skin is turning red.
I need to move,
I need to feel.
Spastic convulsion.
These are the moments I feel crazy.
My neck is sore,
My feet aches,
My head pounds.
I need to move.
I need to feel.
I want to stop.

I saw him first at the red light,
His phone in his hand and his hat on his head,
Normal and bright, I fell in love.
If I were a male peacock,
I would’ve flashed him,
Strutted on my heels and showed him all my colors.
If I were a male peacock,
I would’ve stopped traffic to prance and dance,
Until he noticed me.
If I were more than just me,
I would ignore every excuse,
And make him see all my colors.
But I’m not, I’m just me.
And the light already turned green;
He’s gone.
And I am not a male peacock.

A trifling bird,
Sat on my windowsill,
Looking in
Daily, tweeting and twittering,
In the early mornings.
Feeling her eyes,
leering into the walls,
That grow smaller
The longer she stays.
That nosy, unwanted bird
Comes daily,
And then flies away.

Hope wastes away,
In between minutes,
Seconds away from bad decisions.
Love gives way,
To new things;
But the old,
Has a certain hold.

How the wind chases after the frolic
Of youth, given into dying leaves.
The forest air is changing colors quickly,
I barely saw the bees buzzing in heat,
Now the trees are growing barren; empty.
Found grave beauty in the naked forest.
But fairies do not dance the same without,
The timbrels of spring twirling through the air.

She was pretty,
–Unconventionally.
She was an evening dress.
Red lipstick,
By the poolside.
She was a warm hug,
Served with a side of her smile.
She was the home for the man she adored,
The chicken noodle soup on a cold day.
She was everything to everyone,
But still held in the hands of love,
Fitted curve to curve.
