Dark thoughts of his cigarette lips
Fill my daydreams
But then I am pulled back
To your familiar love
I don't deserve you
Or him probably for that matter
As I taste your kiss
All I want is to taste his
Feel his hands on me
Instead of one's I know
Just one taste
Maybe then I won't feel so
Torn

A universe confined
In the border of our bodies
Mind, heart, soul
Galaxies of sizes
Beyond any comprehension
We could try to dream of
To look and wonder above
Is to float rather than drown
In the vastness
A 3 - dimensional actuality
In a 2 - dimensional perspective
we call the heavens
Even though they are just ***** of gas
We are universes
Not trapped in flesh and bone
But cradled and secure
In our temporary yet constantly changing
Bodies

Day slips into night
Like your whispers in my ear
Gradual and soft
Sweet tones slip
Into dark cadances
Filled with lustful secrets
And wistful desires
Hot breath
Sends chills
Leave me quivering
Sedated on your presence
Sober on your words
Dear god
It's too much

Let not wait for the nightingale
To pull the song from your lips
Let smooth song soothe rusty pipes
And convey uprooted thoughts
Be not shy of the nightingale
When it quiets and listens
Come dark night find solace
With an audience of approval
And sing a song as sweet
As a nightingale's

How intimate
resting ear to chest
hearing that steady thump,
never consistent
listening, seeing...feeling
the life beneath me
more than a body
more than a soul
a complex design of both
with simple inner-workings
as a heartbeat
let me melt into your chest
my limbs now yours
our heartbeats in sync
my ear to your chest
feeling that steady thump

Chin down
Lips apart
Eyes up
So penetrating...
Do you see into the depths where my fears reside?
Or worse yet, my darkest desires?
An innocent youth in your movements
But the twinkle in your eye says different
Have you met that person yet?

My rainbow is painted
Of blacks and greys
Bleeding into the canvas
Unstructured in form
Concrete in my smile
I will add the colors
As I see fit
To my rainbow
