A silence with you
Is not
a silence

But a moment rich
with peace

So, I like lipstick
And kissing someone I know
Or someone I don't

When you said you liked me,
I smiled.
And when I went home,
I smiled.

When you said you liked my poems,
I smiled.
And when I went home,
I cried.

The way her lipstick stains
the rim of her wine glass,
and the way she uses
the back of her hand
to wipe away the purple
drops from her
perfect lips
is so
*******
gorgeous.
And suddenly I understand
why he choose her
over me.

I used to do things, you know,
with my time.
I used to read;
books, sometimes magazines.

I used to garden.
(Can you imagine?)
I planted tomatoes
and an aloe plant, some flowers.

I used to write, on occasion
mostly short stories
and some essays
here and there.

I liked to cook
and not just scrambled eggs,
(though you always liked my scrambled eggs)
but whole meals
and bake too.

I used to do things, you know
before you.

This time last year
I was so happy.
Today I can't stop staring at
my basket of laundry,
wishing it would
fold itself.

The alcohol runs through my veins
and the drugs impair visions of my brain.
Inhale, see my world, your love will transpire.
Exhale, as our souls unite only to fly higher.
Take a dive with me into the clouds of lust,
in my hand you can trust, don’t let go.
The path of ecstasy is not far head; albeit,
the gate is locked, and yet I hold the key,
so please, follow me…
Visions blur while our breath is thin,
A purple dolphin swims by as we grab its fin,
swimming in the blue it is serene, and
fortunatley its hue is no illusion or dream.
We float now up to the stars, watching
them cry with each each beat of our heart,
the clouds release us, the earth shakes and the moon shines,
colors so vibrant and divine, our vibes electric as they combine
I don’t want who wants, but need who needs,
If you like my world your body I will please.
