Beirut
It weighs on my shoulders; It’s stored in my knees. The shame I carry, Brings me to my knees. While I try to balance, Downward dog yoga. The premature wrinkles, Wobbling on my knees. It makes sense they’ve aged, Crumbling against the weight. I release as I breathe - I release as I ooze ****** - I release as I paint - I release as I reconcile - I release as I integrate.

Wrinkled knees
Living like there is always tomorrow Oblivious Its too heavy a crown to carry Death Easier to ignore the downfall Inevitable But I cant let you go Not you My anchor My solace My hopes My soul Silly right? The little girl in me never grew up Dad you are my peace My role model My whole heart My balance Somehow it seems trivial Having to go through life without you Even though I have kids of my own I cant let you go I will shatter once you go I will never be whole again It will pass? I will pass through life oblivious, anxious, hollow I dont think Ive ever told you How much you mean to me Just knowing you exist in this rotten world Turns everything into colour I cant let you go Ive walked through life Ive had people come and go Many have weaved their stories with mine Many have passed uneventful Most have been retched Of all those people, I never came across anyone like you A heart of gold Pure Strong Balanced Supportive Moral Caring Deep

Here and there
I take a plunge The world shuts down The mind goes quiet I take a plunge I am the ocean Waves of pleasure Build steadily Release rhythmically My eyes drown Into yours Tragically feeble Yet They want to drown Deeper Into the abyss Into the unknown Into the darkness To bathe in what could be In endless desire In the unspeakable the unfathomable Drowning further Barely breathing Panting Racing There, when you can't hold it There, between death and the living There we meet I take a plunge I am the ocean You take a plunge We are one

Plunge
The streets are empty The crowds have taken shelter A soft chill lands on your skin Quiet sounds fill the air Paris in all its majesty Has fallen asleep After taking in the Tour Eiffel The Notre Dame The seine The food The lines The louvres I settle into my bed Unsettled Paris is sleeping Yet you are awake In my mind On my skin At the tip of my tongue

Paris is Sleeping
You dance around with the words in your mouth You don’t actually dance They roll around your tongue Like melted icecream lingering You dance around with the words in your mouth Yet you do not dance Like a bee sipping the nectar from a new blossom Words wedding words Are we waiting for the vows?

Word Swirl
To the boy who’s fixated blue To the north pole Void of Santas warmth Cold blue ice Yearning for elves Frozen white snow Aching for magic To the boy who’s fixated blue Fairytale dust I sprinkle unto you

Baby Blue
Your finger reached out to trace my skin Places others have never been People bowed and faded In reverence to this sacred mass There, time did not exist Rules did not make sense My senses could not resist A passage way into a trance Snap out of it Soul back to body Body back to the world People and sounds emerged As we found ourselves Sitting in the midst of a crowd Sipping drinks Losing ourselves

A Trance
Gaping souls And Plundered holes Excuse me! You’re standing in my way

Within Reach
Wounds touched softly – Caressed Scars scrutinized slowly - Undressed If I am the vast ocean then you are the shore Cleansing my insides with every tide Unlocking hidden treasures Long forgotten And stories Untold If I am the maze then you are the quest To unravel and Unfold If I am the dancer then you are the music The ebb and the flow If I am infinity then you are the universe The charge and the glow Wounds worshiped Scars Adored Undressed

Undressed
I have this image Lingering on my mind I have this sensation Wetting my insides Your hand between my legs Still, not moving What was your hand doing there? Checking for my vital signs? Did you feel it throbbing? Then you retract The images linger on An ache A hunger A buzz I have this image Developing in my mind An ache to be ****** senselessly An insatiable hunger to be taken from behind Skirt lifted Bent over the table Exposed ******* dropped half way Quite a sight Still Left there Wanting for more
