I do not love like this
I don't love like this
but I am learning

I burn between kissing you
what I can't have wholly
& somehow I am full
too aware of what I'm doing to be foolish
I rule out sound
birds
birds
you've taken both turns
I am laying
I am left
but am not without

I must front torture to embrace love -
without fire, I cannot burn
I cannot live without that heat
char instead of ink just to write it down

we are singing a song now
quiet
you are asleep & I am dancing in the heaviness of your breathing

this bed is not a nightclub
your knees hurt
& I have never seen anything so beautiful

I want to wake up, think of you
Knowing you woke up thinking of me
This isn't about a particular person it's kind of me just pretending :)
To watch clouds in the sky

To observe the stars in space

To hear a new born babys' cry

To feel the rain on your face



To help a flower to grow

To smell the sea breeze

To play in the snow

To climb the highest tree



To have love in our heart

To be with someone you care

To know when to start

To feel the wind in your hair



To be there for a friend

To care for a child

To stay to the end

To be able to run wild



To listen to a song

To be free as a dove

To know how to be strong

To be able to fall in love



To have these words to read

To always be true

To wish you to succeed

To just say thank you

(written with help from Silly)

I heard those heavy Steletto footfalls,
So clearly from down beneath.
You walked on the rocky hills,
Of my sole souls surface.

I laid it bare and fragile before you,
Spread too thin, I am such a fool.
After you no birds flew,
No view from my window.
Like the certainty around my shoulders,
the winds of Fall announce the end of summer.

Let us share in this golden shimmer,
and as winds get louder, as they will,
let God know, his justice was served:

She found him and he found her.

But we never found each-other.
collaborative write,  it is interesting I like Silly's ability to save my weak lines with much better ones.   what do you guys think?   (so far)

I've sampled love
have looked it in the face
I have felt the warmth of it's soft embrace
I lost that touch
but, at least I had a taste
I have felt the feeling of floating out in space

I've sampled love
have had the taste on my lips
I have felt the touch of love's fingertips
I lost that touch
but, at least I got a glimpse
I have felt the feeling of when a heart skips
She is the night beauty
With her long black hair
Eyes of emerald green
Desired by any man

This lady of the darkness
She needs to feel their touch
Their desire and their need
To make her come alive

She will feed from them
Taste of the red nectar
But they will feel no pain
They will be lost in their lust

She will never drain them dry
Only take what she must
To satisify the thirst she has
And give them her body in return

She loves to feel them move
As her body responds to them
The heat of a moment of desire
Making her feel like a woman alive

She can only exist within the night
Never able to feel the sun touch her
Her lust is something they can never keep
For into the darkness she will be gone

lay with me, oh lay me down
touch me softly, kiss me slow
stepping out into the great unknown
hold me baby, touch me now

hand on my leg and hand in my hair
taste your sweat, our chests bear
breathe you in like the summer air
the sweetest, deepest love affair

your hands wander and travel freely
my nails scrape your back tenderly
searching for love through lust is the key
you found what you were looking for; me

Foggy days in absentia
Caught in the ripples of a memory
The sparkling bay laps the sand
Soaking in the love
Tanning in the brightness of a smile
Living behind closed eyes
Where the heart is full
And the soul lives with its mate
In that bliss, glowing red
That is where eternity continues
Bliss found in a gaze
Perfection in a kiss
sigh, foggy days in absentia

DaSH the Hopeful
Too alive to be allowed to live a lie
            I'm dry
    Even my tear ducts now subside
The rot inside me is so real
      Everything thats fake is how I feel
If I die with my truth laid out,
   Will you scream and shout I'm who you cared about?

The most soothing warmth of the smoothest skin
The animal is sated deep within
We have both died in love's offering
With Heaven's kiss
Praying time does not begin
Eternal bliss

After all this time
There are no worries
It is as it has always been
We are one
And forever does exist
