The Thirst
David J Martin May 2010
I would call you a cool glass of water
I'm not going to because, your so much more
Your a tall glass of Georgia peach ice tea
Condensation drops forming,
from the dying summer heat
The curves of your glass glisten and highlight
rogue rays of sunlight,
sneaking past spaces in the live oak trees
Your each ice cube that cools my lips,
leaving sweet secrets tangled on my tongue
No wonder I find myself thirsty all the time
claiming dehydration,
just to have another sip

Tumble Weeds
David J Martin May 2010
Such stories tumble weeds tell,
insinuating that they'll always be around
that they've found some common ground
and how it was only you who could stop the wind.
But, thats never really the case.
Truth is they're just stuck on the barbed wire
inching towards freedom in the breeze.
Just when you get use to their smell
and that sound they make as they tap the ground,
the north wind picks up calling them away
leaving you with nothing but broken twigs
and brief moments of sweet entanglements

Love and Erotica in D Minor
David J Martin May 2010
Choose carefully, what you have to give has secret powers.
Each cell that sparks from each fingertip that touches your skin.
It all creates silent notes which make silent songs we both dance too.
In the wrong hands the song just comes out flat and broken with no understanding or meaning,
like a train wreck on a barren prairie field.
Such disrespect for such a perfect instrument, created by the hand of God, to birth beauty in every moan.
This is why men use to have to perform feats, and risk there own lives,
just to prove they were worthy enough to stand guard in your shadow.
But what beauty, what indescribable sounds your body makes when it is plucked perfectly.
When each nerve sparks in the rhythm of both heart beats and every breath brings deep bass against our necks.
We move like smoke in a light breeze. We find anchor in the salt left by our sweat.
The universe bends to our silent song and when it is played just right, there's never a dry eye in the house.
So choose carefully who plucks your string.
And when its over I hope your left inspired to sing.

Never
David J Martin May 2010
Its all in what I haven't said
the words I really meant
dreams I've never told you about
passions I've never shown
kisses that never made it to you
heart beats never pressed against your chest
My feelings left in actions never shown
whispers still unheard
smiles that never touched these lips
and glances that missed their mark

La Petite Morte
David J Martin May 2010
That look you have.
Those gun shot staring,
never gonna forget this,
blood diamond sparkle,
type of eyes.

That perfect slit
that hides your tongue.
Red cherry massacre
whispering my name.

— The End —
