I wandered a path to where I am now
Each turn taken, each stained page
Detailed everything that has occurred
But surely if you look back into my history
Everything I have seen and done
Has slowly and assuredly become blurred.

To someone dear,
Who warms my heart every time I see that smile,
I don't know what I would have done without you,
And where I would be if we didn't meet,
For saving me after my lowest point,
And for that I thank you so,
So please don't go,
As I don't think I could cope.
A long time coming, but I feel it's something that you needed to hear
Oh, the thrill,
The pleasure, the pain —
Static —
Electric shock.
My body tenses
With every touch
Of his gentle hands
My body jolts,
My skin crawls —
Of satisfaction
And hunger —
Wanting more.
"I think I love you," I say as he puts on his clothes.
"No you don't," he replies with a grin
"You're right." I smile back.

He walks out the door.

I'd love to see you swimming
in a sea of ceaseless bliss
where adventure waits beginning
in the fading echo of a kiss,
where life and death start to stall
long enough for us to pass
and understand that through it all
this interconnectedness will last.
If you look up from your basking
and see my shadow standing true
don't be too afraid of asking
"Boy, what's going on with you?"
I'll meet you straight with honesty
and say sometimes I'm uncertain
in this movement to the apogee
but my work is no big burden
for when I finish with the climb
I'll see your face in the eclipse
as the questions of a lifetime
flow answered from your lips.
I'd love to see you lying
in a field of scattered flowers,
not concerned with frantic trying
as we whittle through the hours.
My love for you
Is not a desperate act of need
I will not lie
And claim without your touch
Your kiss
Your love
I will crumble
And fade
I am not desperately
In love with you
Without your love
I will survive this hollow strugle
We pretend to live our lives in
I will not crumble and fade to dust
And be scattered by the wind
And lost and forgotten in the rain
...

But I cannot hide this burning and desire of my heart
Or deny that I do love you
I can neither lie about the longing and ache of my love for you
Its beautiful hurt that dances wildly within me
It is an act and love not of desperation
It is the golden honey blood
Dripping from the
Heart of madness
A taste of sweet sickly love
I have never tasted
Never desired so intensely
Never been lost to so completely
Never danced with so recklessly
No my love for you has not made me weak and desperate
It has made my blood rich and thick and vibrant
It has made my heart beat and sing loud and fierce
It has raised the dead and lost parts of my soul
It has placed my reflection back in the mirror of truth
It has stiched my entire being back together
I am whole again and stronger
Madly in love
Mad for your touch
Your kiss
Your love
And without
Your love
Your kiss
Your touch
I will dance madly
I will live with these
Aches and longings
I will burn with desire
And purpose
Spending the rest of my days
And life after life
In the heart of this madness
And flames of this the sun
Blazing through eternity
For you
And only
You

Don’t be upset about it
I will get to know you someday
But tonight I just want to fly with you

When you looked at me that way
I didn’t think about forever
Only what I needed to give back to you

How many eyes have you met?
Did they melt into the sea while you watched?
I can only say I know what you look like
And it’s good enough for me

Whether my thoughts are ******
Or exactly how you want them to be
I will only know when they touch you

Looking across a room
Every secret you die to resist
Is ready to strip itself naked before you

How many men have you met?
How many told you the things I already know?
I can only say that I know how you feel
And it’s good enough for me
