the heat

the night is young
the wind is warm
our bodies alive
our minds numb
sweat pours down
your forehead
I watch it drip
my lips parted
take me now
under the summer moon
darkness surrounds us
the heat shines through
i'm begging in silence
you're speaking in tongues
the sparks are flying
I can’t wait too long
gentle moans
nature cries
as the girl becomes a woman
I wave my innocence goodbye
laying there in
the sweet summer grass
I wonder how long
this summer lust will last
frozen in time
memories heavy in the air
the taste of you is in my mouth
your hands are in my hair
your body is my shelter
I scream your name
take what is yours
take your claim
pounding, stirring, can’t stay still
you’re under my skin
blood is on your lower lip
I take it all in
lost in the summer toxicants
as the moon turns to sun
meh, let summer turn to winter
we’ve only just begun
// dedicated to my favorite season of the year and the desires it awakens within me //

To this beholder,
there be no ugly flower
there be no ugly color
there be no ugly smile.
Beauty be all the while.
More like On Gazelle, ready to relax, going to Paris
Heading on my holidays tomorrow so will be off line and probably wont get to relax with reading your poetry - see/read you in two weeks.
It must’ve been 1992,
And all I’d remembered was the smell of
Maple
On my fingers.

The moon’d later melt,
And all I’d remembered was the smell of
Maple
On my fingers.

The boys met the girls,
And all I’d remembered was the smell of
Maple
On my fingers.

I’d never forget, “tender,” her thigh,
And all I’d remembered was the smell of
Maple
On my fingers.

And leaves later felled their own trees,
But all I’d ever remember was the smell of
Maple
On my fingers.

*Note - Yosemite, 1992, her name was, "Elizabeth," and we always fall in love come the first attempt at, "connect," right?

Hearts are
Wild creatures,
That's why our ribs
Are  cages

Davy
This was a night like no other.
I layed in bed wide awake, but incredibly exhausted.
Something inside my brain kept poking it, keeping me up all night.
Drops of sweat, sweat from the warmth, sweat from insecurity rolled down my face, mixed with the salty waterfalls coming from my eyes.
All I could think about was death, death and death.
What it would be like if I was dead, how people would react if they found out Davy was no more...

I already had the blade against my wrist, ready to end it all, but right when I was ready to cut...I couldn't...
It was as if someone was holding my arm, trying to keep me alive to live another day.

I don't know who or what it was, but it saved my life...
My ***** felt a feather heavier than iron
As I’d opted for anything other than rollover
Whilst puking up that, “nicer,” guy.

The drink’s a ghost. The scold’s a mixer,
Soured on the rocks, Shaken, not stirred,
Stirred, not shaken,
And without a sliver of, “he,” who’d opt
Accommodate or acquiesce.

Call it, “transcendence,” I guess?
Born a realization that this world’s,
“DOG-EAT-DOG,” or,
“GOD-EAT-GOD,” or,
“GOD-TEA-DOG,”
And should I not comprehend
This very simple reality,
I’d be a doormat unto my own grave.

So I fail, I’m frail, and all for one tail
Prior the act that’d ever invoke,
“Leave;” even atop the eve of beggary.

Resolute? I’d opt for the longer life, perhaps,
Not that I’d wanted to live to long anyway,
But I’d made a choice,
I’d arbitrated one cardinal direction – elliptical.

I’d acted, placated, satiated, intimidated,
Decimated, defecated, wiggled my right pinky
And culminated a prayer atop altars, “godless,”
To never knock upon that door again.

And so, but one question remains,
“Did I?”

Why do you talk to me?
Why do you spend your time typing words to me?
Why do you wanna talk with me, Davy, the friendly neighborhood loser...?

All I do is hurt you, yet you keep talking to me...
All I do is **** you off, yet you keep talking to me...
All I do is upset you, yet you keep talking to me...

You keep talking to me, despite your hatred towards me...
You keep talking to me, but actually you want me dead...
You keep talking to me, because no matter how much I do wrong, I'm the only thing inside your head
