My Touch
Weathered and calloused,
Fingers weave your hair
Only for an excuse
To steal a moment touching you

Rough and manly
Stirring honey into your tea
You watch in underwear
Speaking through just a stare

Tense and shaking
Hands grab your shoulders
Pull you in for a kiss
To satisfy that one wish

Cold and clammy
I hold your hand
Only to keep you still
So I know this is real

Slow and steady
My hands play this tune
As an inadequate thank-you
For all that you do
One day a rabbit was jumping and skipping and running and flipping,
which caught the eye of a beautiful cheetah. The cheetah, interested in what she was seeing, strolled over.
The rabbit, so thrilled to have an audience, tried his best to jump higher run faster and move with such fluidity. All the rabbit ever wanted to do was impress. As the rabbit and cheetah grew closer, the rabbit began to notice that the cheetah could jump higher, run faster and do so with such elegance. This made the rabbit thrilled with joy, yet slightly embarrassed of his attempt to impress the humble cheetah. Despite the talent of the cheetah, she continued to lay there and watch with such flare in her eyes. Though the rabbit never understood why the cheetah showed such interest, he was quite thankful for her.

Senses
Tongue art
Between blue
And five
Makes me feel
Eyeballs
But not hear
Rainbows
Like my floor

Wonder
Blank canvas
Mind to roam
Painting pictures
All alone
Staring at the sky
Clouds forming thoughts
Telling me what I know
But somehow forgot
Night comes fast
I speak to the stars
The moon is winking
So I know you're not far
I dream and dream
While sleeping or awake
My mind keeps going
War starts to break
Morning comes
I should've known
Blank canvas
Mind to roam

Your Touch
The touch of your hand
Causes my pulse to accelerate
I must understand the pleasant
Convulse you generate
Electrifying feeling
I can not describe
You rectify me thrilling
Everything inside
So specially bound
I will never let go
Ineffably found
Now it's time to grow

Iguana
Dandelions, arugula and kale
It all goes straight to my tail
I scurry around across the ground
Always wearing my thorny crown
Never in the scene but rich with green
High on the scales but oh so keen
I'm usually stuck in a state of nirvana
Just don't get my name wrong call me Iguana

Missing Page
There's a
Page torn
From my
Notebook
...
Did it fly
As a
Paper plane?
Was it crumpled
To be
Thrown away?
Was it
Painted on?
A
Masterpiece
Made?
Possibly
Just
Possibly
It was used
To write
These very
Words I lay

Monsters
Monsters under my bed
I know they're there
But never dare I look
Until tonight
The truth isn't
Easy to face
When I'm staring
Into my own

Are We So Different?
I'm tired of being sad
I'm sick from all the pain
I know I have it better
Than most people
Around the world
So why must I cry
The same cry
As millions before me
Maybe I just need a hug
From another beating heart
While whispering in my ear
The cliché words
"Everything will be ok"

Answers
A tear


Drops
And hits the page
While I sit here writing
In a horrible rage
The thought of a loss
Some call my lover
I can't call her that
She is everything other
I call out
There is no answer
I'm s l o w l y being suffocated
By an emotional cancer
God!
Where are you in all of this?
Do you ignore my cries
Because I'm not religious?
In life I try
But continue to cry
And sigh
As this love
continues to die
in my heart
I just wish
I could fly
High


In the blue sky
That some call heaven
In the meantime
I'll have to abide by
And fight through this strife
But God please reply
And acknowledge that
I'm not a bad guy

Her Destruction
She shattered my reflection
Altering introspection
Inflection on deception
Injected the infection
Born purely from rejection
Craving all the affection
Could it be misconception?
Why must I learn this lesson?

I Need You
Each and every wilted leaf, delivers me a wilted emotion. As your flower fades my strength dwindles. I need you as much as you need me. Starting as a seed, you became the beauty in my life. You've been there through thick and thin. Most of all, you were the listener to my words; the ear to my mouth; the silent wisdom and answers to my cry's. You've carried me through the hardest of times, smiling up at me with so much joy and glee. Now you weep and droop hiding from the light. Please look up at me and remember how far we've come. I will smile at you as you did for me.

Innocence
I was young and full of innocence. The world seemed perfect, a playground at my fingertips. Magic was real and fairytales came true. I didn't have to worry about how I feel or how to cure the blues. With that view of the world I felt limitless. I became older and age stole my innocence.

Memories
As we lay here
So far away
Life's mirror
Reflecting our days
Memories like gold
Forever treasured
Until I'm old
Nothing measures

Intertwined
All these ideas which I conceive I predetermined meditatively creating reason to believe all is everything in this reality and all is so beautifully wound and bound all around leaving love to be the only thing found and it trails and prevails leaving no option to fail but rise above into a perfect fit glove called life.

Motion
The graceful improvisation
Moves through your body
As your feet rhythmically glide
My eyes stuck fixation
Embody emotion inside
Artistic beauty
With effortless elegance
Reveals truly
This sorceress's extravagance  
Illuminating passion
With every twist in time
Balanced fashion
Which resists the paradigm
Expressive energy
Fluidly maintained in the trance
Creating synergy
Entrained into your dance

Struggles
How do I prevail through these unexpected circumstances

Looking for shortcuts through drugs and quick romances

But I can't deal that way

Nobody can heal that way

So why does it seem so right when I feel that way

My Life
I sit back and contemplate
This reality that I live in
Trying to imagine
Some other dimension
Where I'd make
A different decision
Than the ones
On the daily
Which I'm permitting
I question this world
In every sense
Trying to make sense
Why everybody
Gives me their two cents
And I sense
That it might be a sense
Of power that they feel
So how do I feel
Like everybody else
Because this feeling inside
Never fails

— The End —
