Touch

The melody plays
Haunting and slow
Getting our blood
Coursing thru

I react to your touch
Soft and careful
Like you're scared
I'm fragile

It's true
I could break
Beneath you

But I'd piece
Myself back
Together
To shatter
Beneath
Your touch
Soft
And delicate
Like a flower
Decaying

I move closer
Feeling the heat
Aching from
Your skin
Like its never
Been touched
And has long
Wanted to be
Caressed,
Worshipped,
And begging
To be
Released
Beneath
My touch

The softest moans
Become the hardest
Screams
When skin
Collides
And the melody plays
To the tangle
Of our
Lonesome ache

Dream

I lay on my back pretending I am floating on water
Thinking what dreams you are watching with your eyes tightly closed

Am I missing a world I'm not seeing thru your eyes

I wonder if you'd like to run thru lush overgrown forests with me like a wild beast never knowing humankind
Gliding in and out of the greenest grass and the tallest trees

Or barefoot in the sand on a beach slowly giving way to the waves of an ocean washing inland
I let the water swirl around my feet, pulling sand free and taking me with it

I question if you are doing the same if you were to share my dream

Do you watch the sunset and see the colors I see dancing like an oasis in the distance

Does the same moon shine down for you and bathe us in the same glow on clear sky filled nights

I close my eyes and I taste your dreams as novas explore our atmosphere
And for a second I swear I can hear you whisper when the wind blows

For a second I swear I can hear you whisper that you'll be in my dreams
when the wind blows

So I close my eyes and let the wind carry me into the wildest dreams I'll ever dream

Another late night in a row of late nights
I hunger for slumber but my mind keeps tracing
The curves of your body like a memory
I ache only to forget all the sorrow
Begged from the last conversation
That only took place in our imagination
The pain always felt so real
When you whispered good bye
Every time you said it would be the last time
I could clutch my breath close to my chest
And feign interest in hearing your voice
Promise excuses that proved excruciating
To the extent that I could no longer breathe...

...I’m just going to close my eyes
To what reminds me...

...Of all the past and future
To what haunts me...

Something to remind you...

Sleep.

Your claws
they sink
Teeth into me
I scream
Oh no
It’s ecstasy

I can’t
Get through
A day without your taste
I need
To bleed
Your life into me

Teething
Tethered
Draining
Withered

Your eyes
Pierce clean
Right on through me
I hunger
Oh no
It’s ecstasy

I can’t
Get through
A day without your taste
I need
To bleed
Your life into me

Shadows lurk
On the wall
Waiting for your fears in mine
I stray
Oh no
It’s ecstasy

Teething
Tethered
Draining
Withered

Oh no
It’s ecstasy

It’s Never Ending

Teething
Tethered
Draining
Withered

So enamoured
by the moon
was he...

That he had
disowned the sun

and
forgotten the stars.

wyoming spring
is like a campfire

the sun's beautiful light
burns your face

while the constant wind
freezes the shadows

happy mediums
are for other lands

i wade into the flood
without thought of consequence
turning toward the shore
without thought of return
allow the waves to wash over me
without thought of who i was
inhaling my new world
without thought or regret

and still the sun rises

a book with no cover
lies in our bones
depths of experience
no one else knows
guiding our words
by memories enclosed
written with hearts
by minds void of prose
sometimes poetry is anatomical
