i promised i would stop
but,
you are the vice
i cannot give up,
the addiction i will always
hold on to.
the comforting
crippling
reminder
of the fate that could have been
but will not be.

it feels like years
since i've heard your voice,
since i felt your skin
against my skin.
years since
i had something
worth
letting my guard down for.

the flowers were still
in bloom
and the warmth
was plentiful.
we were alive
but,
it is winter again
even in the dead of August,
even in the smoldering heat.
it is winter
again
and i am cold
without you.

Come to me, my darling,
with your pen and your paper,
so I can show you the true lines of a woman.
Trace my contours and follow my curves,
to all the places that you adore,
until your southern borders rise to meet mine.

Can your hand capture the motions we make?
Like silhouettes of swelling grace?
Abandon your ink, and sink into me,
like the universe crashing inside of the sea.
Rock me like waves, bend me like sin,
whisper your pleasure into my skin.

Come to me, my darling,
come into me.

Wandering soul
You came in like a hurricane
I always
feared the destruction

And now
In the aftermath
I am left
with the salvages
Scars
spelling out your name
On every crevice of my skin
Warning those
Who dare to stop by
You came in like a hurricane ,my love
And you swept away
With the whirlwind
Of your words
My fragile heart

Like minds
Open hearts
A world in words alone
Kindness, pain, compassion
Who's a poet to throw a stone
Sanctuary
Kinship
Share a thought or two
Running lies
It's fun and games
'Til no one's left
But you

will I tumble head

to a watery demise
in a submerged smoke
of oceanic ink

or what happens if I

will my reckless f

or will I

some more;

drifting through sub-marine thought?
