She removed some clothes
So the hug would
Take.

The innocence was more intimate
Than ***.
Finally held, safe from enemies

On all fronts. I served my time
As a human shield,
If only

For seconds, as sharp claws
Let go and warm, caring hands
Didn't.

I'll be summer sandbox for you.
You be child for a while;
Rest as only kids can;

Lulled and safe, drifting away
To the sound of adults talking
Softly

So you'll sleep, despite the fever.
Warm with sofa, blanket,
And *little.

This may not be considered poetry, but it speaks to me as if it is. The blank page, the chance of great beginning. The emptiness that has the power to send words like bullets to your ear drums leaving such an impact that one can’t ignore!! But all the same the emptiness that we all see that our brain can’t muster up the feelings that are inside that we want to put words onto paper… so we sunder into the void of oblivion because the white canvas of which we were to once put all of what we have into is to pure in its white cascade of which our ink would only taint. Thus, leaving “The Poet’s White Canvas” as it is, admiring what simplistic power it holds as well as its potential of what it can be.

her curves made cursive
twisting looping dipping
as i
slowly
methodically
pen my thoughts on them

purpletip
red-ridged
my bloom swollen
eliciting glyphs unspoken
tracing her slit

her eyes
her breaths
are my ink
and i am full

she asks
pleads
(over her shoulder)
for me to "write
inside her"

with my pen pressing
the page
i rush perfection
and transcend
words words words

what if i try to be completely honest with you,
will you be honest to me too?
what if i told you i love you,
would you say you love me too?

you talk to me
and it makes me happy.
do you like me
or you're just friendly?

i wish you'd tell
to make things well.
you said we're friends
and that's how my dreams of you end.

Don't expect me to crawl for you.
When I know how to walk for you.

I don't understand
how love didn't die away
through high school with you.

We slept together
just sleeping though, nothing else
almost all summer.

How you look at me
and tell me that you love me
lights me up inside.

But we are just friends
and friends shouldn't fall in love
so i'll stay quiet.

She said, turn out the lights,
I look so much better in the dark.
I said, love is an artist; I like what I see,
And  lit the candle beside her bed.

She said the night and shadows retouch my flaws,
Blend tight curves with round intrigue,
I said, the sexiest bits of you are all unseen,
Now smile and let me love all of you.
