Writing lyrics & poetry has been a vital expression for me since a very young age. / / Some of my poems end up as songs or pieces of them end up in songs & others never do. / / I love how raw, and vulnerable I can get through writing. It heals a piece of me each time I pull the thoughts & feelings from my heart & put them into words strung together on the page... / / Love love love <3
Lets Be Real
You reflecting me reflecting you...
I see the possibilities
The synchronicities
Each kiss a sign of what could be
Between you & me
I struggle with the urge to jump in heart first
Remembering the last time
And how much it hurt
When he turned out to be human
& I found out I was human too
Nothing we could do...
But play out our hands
& now this is where we stand..
Not lovers but friends
And I will always love him...
Yeah....
Loving is easy
When you look and see
the creator & creation in everyone...
In every daughter & every son...
It's really not hard...
So, that's not what I'm after...
not these days
So, what... ?
Of course I could fall for you...
& you for me...
and maybe we will...
Head followed by feet ...
As we lead...with our hearts ...
And let our souls
intertwine...
That's a given.
What I wanna know is...
who.
you.
are...
At the core of you...
& are you someone I wanna spend my days with...??
And is who I am someone you wanna spend your nights with?
Cuz lets be real...
Falling in love is a cake walk...
Cultivating true love & relationship...
That's the tricky part...

The depths of the ocean of my love...
Could hold all the tears that were ever cried...

Fists clenched in the night
As sleep affords dreams
That tell of a love I have yet to fully taste
Like a promise he never made
I cannot hope to feel his love
Though the depths of me cry out
For his perfect touch
For what's truly mine, I shall not fight
I've learned to never hold on too tight
To the wishing of a thing one does not hold
I dare not be so bold
As to assume this love I feel
Could turn out to be the real deal
So I'll just laugh & play along
And we'll hum & sing a new song
I don't have to know for true
For now, we'll just do what we do
His hand
My hand
His lips
My kiss
All night
He holds
Me close
Like this

I Sigh…
Could any pair of eyes be more perfect…
I gaze into you and time disappears
Leaving us hanging on the outskirts
Of a love that threatens to consume
I cannot claim to understand this
Swimming in my sea of thoughts
They drown me...
And I am left with my naked emotion for you my love
Pure and innocent
Beckoning you nearer to me…
Hanging on words spoken
My ears dance at the sound of your voice
My body melts beneath your touch
Inside I beg for more...
I sigh………
Knowing I cannot have.
I accept that I get to take tiny sips of you...
Though I want to drink you
Swiftly,
Freely,
With abandon...
What I wouldn't give
To know you inside and out
Touch the very heart of you
Breath you…
As you breath me…
Slowly tracing your body
Hands memorizing each freckle
Every single scar
Perfectly imperfect
I would love you just as you are
Sigh with me my eternal lover
Cry with me in this struggle
Against flesh
Against circumstance…
As we search for the answers
Pray for just one more sign
Like we need one…
Has anything ever been more clear?
Than the pull between your soul
And mine?
Sinking deep into my angst tonight, love…
I sigh…

Every cell in my body screams
I love you
I can feel it sweeping from my toes
As the wave of energy reaches my heart
I feel I could explode
Tears well in my eyes
Blinking
And fall helplessly down each side of my face
And I begin to whisper in the dark
I love you
I love you
I love you
I will love you so completely
So perfectly, all of you, just as you are
For all eternity
With a love that's deep and strong
Your name my favorite song
Passion dripping from each kiss
Forever in my fingertips
As close to you as I can be
Adoring you eternally

Words spill effortlessly from your perfect mouth...
And I catch myself wishing I could lick them from you...
It's no wonder...
You...
Light a fire in hearts when rooms spin...
Like a carnival ride ...
I never could hide...
from the likes of a deep feeling love warrior dressed in stripes
Telling of battles fought ...
Not always won...
But always well played...
And as you blink away a happy tear...
Makes me wanna serenade you to sleep every night for infinity...

The spark between
Invites a dream
That I can't seem to hold onto past waking...
The depths of this
Holds promise and possibility beyond the wildest of imaginings
Rooted in the simplest of things
As we wade into the shallows...
Close to the shore that would save us...
Each inch a double dog dare...
We draw closer to the inevitable waves and unknowns of the deep
How far does the courage hold aim to pull...
Your feet?
My feet?
Your heart?
My heart?
Another moment...
We shall see...
Drawn by the infinite glory that may float just over the horizon...
Or find there is nothing there but more of the flotsam and jetsam we've always encountered on our journeys to the deep...
Another prize set inside the mouth of a dragon...
Shall we burn?
