longing in my chest
aching at the thought of you, come to me. I
need to be held,
touched, felt.
understood by you.
appreciated as I am.
cherished.
the small of my back, my wrist, my neck, all of
my flesh is yours (for the taking)
my nails in your side, you nuzzle my hair as
I breathe you in
your feeling lingers on me for hours.
run and hide from me before
I give you all of myself.
what I can become is limitless,
for you give me what I need
to grow. reaching towards possibilities
borne of darkness. we lie in wait
for the time to strike
soon. before you know it
"the time is now."

i call out to you
echo chamber
you call my phone
instant answer
give me a chance
my hand on your arm
a fire inside
my head in your hand
heal me from the inside
give you a chance
what does it mean to be
me? with you as you are.
can you fill this hole?
overflow me
your concept
permeates
into me
become liquid
sticky sweet
can you hear it?
replay it three times
love sounds because I love you
but we knew that already

the thought,
to be without,
pierces
through my soul.
time with you:
endless,
yet fleeting still.
Always.
challenging
what was known
before
comes easy.
empty
no more, I’m
blithe again.
darkness
no longer dims
my fire;
yet, remains
still, the thought.

I spent my youth in a third row seat
You and me way back low down
Give me a smooch, no one is looking
Or even if they are
Yellow lights from the highway passing
Slide over you in a v neck t shirt
Me in jeans way too tight
Friday nights were always this
But not tonight
Dinners together turned to an all-liquid diet
We don't share a seat
We share a hospital bed

The link between infatuation and confidence is interesting
I want to be seen, but I do not want to show
I only feel confident when enamored
My turn was long ago
I left you in the same place back then
Where you picked you up once more
A heart doesn't want to be hidden
Throw a sheet over me? Or
Pack me in a box?
"Because I am a gift?"
No.
Enclosed inside a closet,
A never-opened drawer
Suffocating here
"In case of boredom, open box"
String me along
Hang me by my heartstrings

I want to memorize the patterns of all of your t-shirts
I want to sit next to you on an airplane
You can have the window seat
I want us to bob our heads in rhythm to strange music
And waste our time together
Antihistamine forever would be worth it in the end

2000 pounds of truth
seats upholstered with naïveté
a windshield of false pretenses
80 miles an hour right into my chest
a license plate that said forever

I drank a lot tonight
I feel trapped
I feel trapped
As trapped as I felt that one time locked in your room for hours
As locked as when you stood between me and the door
Did I say locked? I meant trapped
Is that a cop up ahead?
Remember the night I said "Come outside"?
If I died right now I would be free
And it would be so easy too.
They would find my car and do a toxicology report and find that I had drank but just how much?
Only enough to recognize all of this ********
This is only my first time? I must be a natural

A neat and tidy life she leads
Every day the same
To keep it all under tight wraps
is her only aim
In her mind she organizes
Replace, rotate, no compromises
Every thought and every word,
They're all arranged by sizes
Every thing has its' own place
That she's made just for it
Ideas go here, memories go there,
No mess will she permit
By each night her mind-desk is cleared
No stray documents are found
Until morning comes they lay in files
Waiting safe and sound
But sometimes something new will come
In a way quite efficiently
Better known as a fax,
but to her, a facsimile
Startled by the incoming message
She rushes to give it a home
- It does not fit with any files
Registers, databases, or others of the like,
She leaves it sitting on her desk
Where it sat overnight
Without a place of its' own
The message grew and grew
Without a spot to place it in,
She didn't know what to do
As it grew out of her control,
She watched with total awe
It overtook her entire world
All she did was withdraw

A bird flutters within my chest
She beats upon her cage
"Let me go!"
Fear & doubt manifest
A black cloud rolls over
The deep sea inside me
Then our eyes meet
A bell is rung
I awaken
Can this be real?
I reach out toward it
It's gone too quickly
A sensation I've longed for
Please don't let this end
