Us
In tangled sheets and tangled limbs
we explore the deepest corners of our being.
Our rhythmic heartbeats is the music in our ears                                    
accompanying the slow dance of our conjoined bodies            
Your hungry lips gift beautifully scattered red roses upon my neck                                                             ­                   
as you mark your territory
devouring my flesh.
Serenading you with the songs of my pleasure,
I plead, I beg!
For you to lead our dance
for our bodies to move in sync with the rapid beats of our heart.

Soon we are moving sensually through the night with wanton need
kisses falling upon our bodies like cold snow    
sending shivers.
Our starving souls ignite a fire within us 
whilst searching for one another.
The hurried movements we share fuel the flames as it spreads through us,
a fast burning in our bones.
With aching desire, we dance till we are unfeeling,
till the fire consumes us and erupts in an explosion of euphoria,
till you rain down on me.
I haven’t done this in a while
Is it silly to be nervous?

My door bell rings
My heart speeds
Mother calls “Daisy!”
And I realize she means me

I haven’t done this in a while
Is it foolish to be restless?

I take the steps one by one
Being sure not to topple down
The door creaks open and
I can see him standing there now.

I haven’t done this in a while
Is it odd to jump into his arms?

He smiles at me and my mother
He answers questions from my father
Everything is perfect
But I can’t help but fidget.

I haven’t done this in a while
Is it wrong to want to run?

We leave the house and walk down
A path of many flowers
I’m unsure what to think
But I find myself counting the hours.

I haven’t done this in a while
Is it childish to hold his hand?

I get into his car
Smoothing my skirt and catching breaths
He pulls out something for me now
And my heart takes a rest.

I haven’t done this in a while
Is it alright to try to kiss him?

I smell the Daisies, white and lush
Loyally loving and so gentle
Does he know I cherish them such?

Not just for the name we share
Or the thorns they lack unlike roses
Not for the simplicity of their petals so fair
But for the meaning behind them

Loving, loyal; so gentle, so innocent

I haven’t done this in a while
But I think I can handle it now.

she sits behind the tv
watching in the living room
surrounded by her family
with empty eyes
the only things she says
are empty lies:
“I'm okay, I'm alright,
don't worry 'bout me”
she was in her own fight
and as a reality show plays
in her mind she thinks
of all the different ways
and with the morning light
she takes a chair and a rope
having chosen on one of them
to the tree in the garden
to make a final flight.

Perfect Passion reignited at last,
My heart beats ton fold, so fast.
As I stared into your eyes the world
around us stopped.
Not for a moment was my gaze upon on you
dropped.
Grateful for every moment, I was blessed to
be with you.

this flickering heart
                    has been carved out
and framed

as light
              
              it beats                         
                 alongside winks of other lights
from otherwheres
where otherhearts too
                       are pictured there

           eat me
      
   ingest
   mine
      
filet of scarlight
for yours
       truly

   in these
darker times
                            so that you may see more

                                it's not much
                                 but it's all i have

It's strange how things can shift
When you give them the chance
I didn't know that this could happen
But I smiled when you asked me to dance

And I would dance with you forever
My head gently pressed on your chest
I would laugh with you forever
While you claim we're the best

Your bright blue eyes and small little grin
Your faith in the world and in me
Make me want to lay with you forever
Under the shade of your most favorite of trees

Please hold my hand and rub my back
And never forget that very first night
Or the kisses you laid on my forehead
And everything in the world for once felt right

your kisses were jade made live
lithe like crested waves
tumbling beneath eyes unpeeled
writhing into existence
crushes crushed
flesh spent
