Passion
Jumped the line
To dance
At the door
Love
Wants to spread
The kind of drunk
Like a friend
Stripping
The red dress
Like a lampshade
In The Kitchen
And a full glass
Of summer morning
On the patio

I have a friend who tells me
that nothing
no one
and no love
is unconditional.
He’s beaming and bright, and light like soft rain;
but sometimes I look at him
and it hurts.
I have a friend who speaks softly
to my hard of heart,
who cracks me up and open.
I have a friend who keeps me strong.
I have a friend for whom I love
even in times when I have none;
He’s not the love of my life but so often the light.

To the one that got away,
the one that changed my heart.
No longer do I look to love
the way I look to the stars
But to the sea;
forever beautiful and never the same.

As your eyes go
& your skin turns
away from me
I feel the energy transfer
In heat waves
& headaches;
Apathy.
I look at you
and I’m sorry
for the way that I am.
For you
are all
that I’ve lost;
Sensitivity.
Theres a calm
that comes
when I’m not.
Eyes downcast
only wanting
to be pulled in close.
you do.
You are all that I’m not;
Tenderness.
You hold my face
in your hands
and make me small
When our eyes meet
we go away.
for a moment,
the world quiets.
You are all that I need;
Trust.
Listening now
all I hear
are slow waves
& suddenly
I'm lost
in turquoise.
I want to take you there.

If our paths do cross
I hope it is
without my knowing
I hope you catch a glimpse
of my spirit as it was
before you broke it:
beautiful and entirely blind to you.
I hope I never see you
but that you see me;
In a moment of laughter, of joy,
in passing.
I hope that it stops you in your tracks but that you dare not stop me in mine.
I hope you are struck by the familiar flush
of red life flaring off my cheeks
I hope you fool yourself to thinking
I am the same as I once was.
I will never be yours.

As the sunset simmered
low and slow
a soft light rested
on the counter where I sat
I burnt my toast
while I was daydreaming
about kitchen ***
then the tea kettle screamed
because It couldn’t take the heat.
Understandable.
I poured the water in my cup and let the roses steep, left the burnt toast in the toaster and went back to bed

Do not pause
for it is not in the spirit of love
to be still for so long.
Just as a river
does not stop in its tracks
for fear of overflow.
Just as the sea's are never still.
Just as the sea's are never still.

Desire
Balanced
On the edge
Of a blade
A well dressed man
**********
An untethered label
A bottle for two
At an uncleared table.
A twist
Of the wrist
To the pouring
Of wine
To dripping lips,
and kissing
between sips.
His hands
to my hips
His tie
To my wrists.
His kiss.
