Weathered and calloused, Fingers weave your hair Only for an excuse To steal a moment touching you Rough and manly Stirring honey into your tea You watch in underwear Speaking through just a stare Tense and shaking Hands grab your shoulders Pull you in for a kiss To satisfy that one wish Cold and clammy I hold your hand Only to keep you still So I know this is real Slow and steady My hands play this tune As an inadequate thank-you For all that you do

My Touch
One day a rabbit was jumping and skipping and running and flipping, which caught the eye of a beautiful cheetah. The cheetah, interested in what she was seeing, strolled over. The rabbit, so thrilled to have an audience, tried his best to jump higher run faster and move with such fluidity. All the rabbit ever wanted to do was impress. As the rabbit and cheetah grew closer, the rabbit began to notice that the cheetah could jump higher, run faster and do so with such elegance. This made the rabbit thrilled with joy, yet slightly embarrassed of his attempt to impress the humble cheetah. Despite the talent of the cheetah, she continued to lay there and watch with such flare in her eyes. Though the rabbit never understood why the cheetah showed such interest, he was quite thankful for her.

When The Rabbit Met The Cheetah
Tongue art Between blue And five Makes me feel Eyeballs But not hear Rainbows Like my floor

Senses
Blank canvas Mind to roam Painting pictures All alone Staring at the sky Clouds forming thoughts Telling me what I know But somehow forgot Night comes fast I speak to the stars The moon is winking So I know you're not far I dream and dream While sleeping or awake My mind keeps going War starts to break Morning comes I should've known Blank canvas Mind to roam

Wonder
The touch of your hand Causes my pulse to accelerate I must understand the pleasant Convulse you generate Electrifying feeling I can not describe You rectify me thrilling Everything inside So specially bound I will never let go Ineffably found Now it's time to grow

Your Touch
Dandelions, arugula and kale It all goes straight to my tail I scurry around across the ground Always wearing my thorny crown Never in the scene but rich with green High on the scales but oh so keen I'm usually stuck in a state of nirvana Just don't get my name wrong call me Iguana

There's a Page torn From my Notebook ... Did it fly As a Paper plane? Was it crumpled To be Thrown away? Was it Painted on? A Masterpiece Made? Possibly Just Possibly It was used To write These very Words I lay

Missing Page
Monsters under my bed I know they're there But never dare I look Until tonight The truth isn't Easy to face When I'm staring Into my own

Monsters
I'm tired of being sad I'm sick from all the pain I know I have it better Than most people Around the world So why must I cry The same cry As millions before me Maybe I just need a hug From another beating heart While whispering in my ear The cliché words "Everything will be ok"

Are We So Different?
A tear Drops And hits the page While I sit here writing In a horrible rage The thought of a loss Some call my lover I can't call her that She is everything other I call out There is no answer I'm s l o w l y being suffocated By an emotional cancer God! Where are you in all of this? Do you ignore my cries Because I'm not religious? In life I try But continue to cry And sigh As this love continues to die in my heart I just wish I could fly High In the blue sky That some call heaven In the meantime I'll have to abide by And fight through this strife But God please reply And acknowledge that I'm not a bad guy
