On a blank page jot with a pen
Write me a soft touch on my skin
Intoxicate me with steamy words
Write me a kiss into every verse
Ignite my desires and excite my senses
Write me an embrace with each sentence
Touch me like a longtime lover
Write me pleasure on the cover
Like a journal or a book
Write me passion with a look
Hold me close and touch my heart
Write me ecstasy like fine art
Caress me to the core
Write me love forevermore.
Dj

This problem has gone on so long
We always reach the same old sum
Multiplied by failure to learn
Divided by unconcern
Numbers that hide
Carried by lies
Uncertain equations
In each situation
You never seem to factor in
An answer where you don't win
Add only yourself  
Like every time else
To sum up the fee
Just subtract me
Dj

The Beast

I shelter the beast inside
Barely contained where it hides
It prowls on  chaos and pain
Where no love remains
It’s never far
Knows every scar
Wants out in every way
Vows to make them pay
It growls and breaks free
This beast inside of me
I fight for control
Cry from my soul
Broken in two
I’m the beast too
But wait
Not too late
There’s someone strong
I’ve known all along
Standing calmly in the shadows
Waiting for me to see what matters
Assuring me who I am is fine
Keeping me from losing my mind
Encouraging me
To look and see
A beast will consume what you will allow
Let go of hate and embrace love somehow

To say the least

Hate can free the beast…Or love can tame the beast

I choose to love.
Dj

I run from love as soon as it seems real
Afraid to commit to what I might feel
So I lied
To myself
And I hide
From myself
I don’t dare to see
Or even believe
I am worthy of love
Or deserve to be loved
Used to the pain
That always came
When I stopped to trust
And love was just lust
Perhaps there is more
Someone to stop for
To commit
To submit
Allow someone in and just maybe then
Suppose I stop running, and begin again
Dj

Pent up with rage
Kept in a cage
Shouts of insanity
Screams of ecstasy
At one with the beast
To keep safe on a leash
For a command
Or a demand
Permission
Submission
Allow just so much
Of a need or a touch
Pulling me out and then in
Showing me bliss and then sin
Beckoning me to stay
Then pushing me away
Binding me with my desire
Igniting me with your fire
Burn
Yearn
Every secret freed
Drop me to my knees
Force it all
Against the wall
Tell me no and instead
Order me to wait in bed
Touch as light as a feather
Then tug against the leather
Left alone
On my own
Quiver
Shiver
Built-up aggression
Grant satisfaction
Made just for you
Touched only by you.
Dj

Whispered  promises in the night
Shout the truth with morns first light
Changed myself so many times
Overlooked so many crimes
Reflecting back, I clearly see
How lost I was inside of me
So I fed
And mislead
The beast within
That knows my sins
I unleashed without care
These scars I now bare
A curse
Made worse
Believing you
Told the truth
Dj

I fought for love and gave it all
Tiny pieces of my soul withdraw
My body trembles
My mind remembers
Promises spoken
Each one broken
Among failed campaigns
Where no love remains
Wounded and marred
Battered and scarred
Fragments
Segments
Battlegrounds
Pain abound
From fighting the other
And hurting a lover
Admitting defeat
Destruction complete
Vigilant defender
Total surrender
Time to heal
Time to feel
Begin
Again
And then
With all my might
I’ll stand and fight
Protect from start
My war-torn heart
Ignore my pride
Choose a side
Enlist                    
And with
Blood pulsing inside of me
Offer then what’s left of me
Dj
