I use poetry as an outlet for my rough childhood and to help deal with the pain of those dark experiences. A lot of my poetry is a release for me, full of dark imagery and pain. The flipside is full of romantic dreaming and hopefulness. I also process my relationship issues through poetry. / / I was first inspired by a waitress on family vacation as a young child and then was lovingly bought my first poetry journal at 16. It was then I was first called a poet and encouraged to explore my creative influences, which bloomed with romantic notions. I read all the Shakespeare I could and came to love expressing my desire and wants within rhyme. / / Fav poems: / Sonnet 116 -Shakesphere / Love is not love... -E.E. Cummings / ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ / Please do not use my work without asking.
Lost for words within endless stares
Losing truth when we choose dares
Fighting for peace like we don't care
Destroying our treasure as though not rare
We can say what we mean
But translation lies
Caging a raven:
Only free when it flies
What we find in our hands
like blood promises made
The color of our conviction
Reflecting like a blade
"Forever" we promised
Yet forever we fight
Only desiring the arms
That hold us tight
The only One for me,
no matter the span
Or depth of sea
Our perfect plan:
My love with me
So far we ran
Just to love free....
Why can't our past chains just let us be?

I love you for reasons that can't manifest
into physical forms
The ethereal pull of love within me
is beyond reasoning or control
But you asked for reasons, so I'll do my best
I adore your hair and how completely it captures my attention
Your eyes lock me in paradise, so full and wanting
Your form and frame like a comic book heroine, commanding my attention
And **** Your thighs just keep me alive within my fantasies
You redefined beauty for me
You created a new measure by which I held others
and none other could ever measure up
-[But that doesn't touch my love for you.]-
I love how we play when we both feel safe
I love how you flirt with me
I love more than anything how delicious you taste
Never have I bonded with someone
on such a chemical level
Your skin, your smell, your taste, your curves
all of YOU commands my nerves
You light me on fire and dominate my desires
You are the only one that I ever want
Your smile and seduction have captured me completely.
-[But these aren't reasons why I love you.]-
I love you because my heart, my spirit, my mind, and my physical body
all convene into one known truth: I cannot live without you.
You bring a peace and wholeness to my life.
You create within me a singular hunger that knows only you.
Everything that I am wants you and only you.
I love you, but not because you are beautiful.
I love you, but not because we fit together.
I love you, but not because you're the best I've found.
I love you, but not because I no longer want to search for another.
I love you, but not for any reason I could list.
The reasons follow the love, not create it.
My love transcends above mere reasons
What I feel for you is beyond reason and description
It is a desire to live or the need to take another breath
that happens because the body needs it
...because it's right.

The magic is gone
sadness reigns
if it's not anger
it's pouring rain
Lost within the madness
of fighting again
Love all but forgotten
as we take it on the chin
Communication styles
of anger and hurt
deminishing what's left
of my own self worth
Another day of wishing
I was simply gone
Insides churning misery
the pain lingers on
My world upside down
as darkness lets me hide
The pain remembered brightly
as the sun glares it's shine

i gave you a broken heart of glass
You cradled me and cut me
You showed me the beauty within the shards
You taught me to live with a broken heart
You took my hand and you held it tight
Blinded with tears, you gave me sight
Frozen with fears, we embraced the night
Facing death, you showed me life.
i was never prepared for who you are
Not the beautiful hair, nor the secret scar
You became a goddess within my soul
Your heart the spark for me to become whole
Our path had many ends that led into the sea
The broken shards that I carried with me
were ground to become sand beneath our feet
And allowed you to walk away with me

a good-night kiss
soft, forgiving
inviting
reminding me of living
reconciliatory touch
a lingering embrace
beautiful eyes
clinging to my face
kissing again
with deliberate softness
a new wish forms:
could we do this more often?

I miss you so hard today
I feel it in my breath
weighing so heavy
This empty loneliness
consumes when you're away
My goddess, my lover,
if ever you grant my wish
let it be today that I have you in my arms

Frozen in time within my mind
you'll never grow old
and beauty will cling to you
like my eyes as you leave the room
Your hair spilling over your shoulders
will capture me like waterfalls
eternally falling
only for you
Your eyes are my sunrise
lighting my day with your smile
and your love, my strength
to endure every trial
Time cannot stop
but neither could my love
cherishing every moment of you
like the night with the stars above
Your darkness encloses me in comfort
As my light defines your curves
with shadows, fingertips, and lust
my devotion expressed through my words
I'll never get enough of Us.

The strands of your hair left in my bed
The smell of your body on my sheets
Your beautiful noises and what you said
There's nothing about you I don't need
Your muffled sounds of pleasure lingering
throughout everything in this dawn
You bring me more pleasure than anything
There's no greater love to wish upon

You turn moments into flaming time
Air to passion; your flesh becomes mine
I'm alive in a way I've never existed
Any desire no longer resisted
You belong to me outside of time
Forever beautiful and forever mine
My goddess is the one who set me free
I am finally alive now that she
is with me.

As I wake and walk in this torrent
I am filled with your love.
Soaked through
with every bit of me
loving you.
You tease and you play
with hips of heaven
and lips of promises
I'm still excited
...still in love,
and forever will be
for the rest of my days.
