He and she, forever more.
His palm,
Placed playfully atop her own.
Two hands rooted,
Like a tree to the earth.
Two hands held high.
Forever growing,
Blooming, falling, and consistently changing.
These two hands,
Linked together like chains.
Eternally unbroken.
The cold air on their bare palms,
Would be far too uncomfortable.
So they remain in that place.
Heads turned,
and fingers forever intertwined.

I look at the fridge..
                                 ..empty.
I look at my wallet..
                                 ..empty.
I look at your picture..
                                 ..instantly I'm full.

Inch by inch, mile by mile
Won't you stay for awhile?
Moment by moment, kiss by kiss
I've fallen in love with this

With
Murmmers under flannel sheets
Dark coffee & chocolate treats
The non-space between skin and lips
The gentle curve of twirling hips

...but
Like the tide you pull away
Slowly sadly this cannot stay
Looking back you turn to leave
My heart still sewn to your sleeve

Thinking of days past,
Quietly, he turns a page.
The ocean beckons.

No.....I can't even dare to hope.

Because it will always end in disappointment

and tears.

The youth always seems to be more optimistic

Have you noticed?

But when it comes down to it,
there's always slight
negativity around us

If you say that you're fine,
But really you're shaking.
Playing it cool,
When your whole world is breaking.
Say you're all alone,
Thinking nobody cares.
I'll stick around and listen.
For you, I'll be there.

I’m not ready for this.
It’s four in the morning.
Seducing me with your kiss,
Though I’m not brave enough

To fall in love with you.
Not enough heart to give;
My body wants it, you
Can bet on that. Our hearts

Stumble over each other.
Eyes shut, envisioning
The best in their other.
Babe, I’m hungry for more.

No, **** this.
I’m not strong enough yet,
Although you say “Please, miss.”
Uncertainty and fear

Cloud – my mind – is wandering.
Actions are hesitant,
As you come, sauntering
Through the door, I close my eyes.

As we share affection,
You don’t really hide it,
Your crown, your *******.
What cravings, desires, needs

That rise up from my toes!
I don’t want to repeat
Mistakes with him who knows
All that I have crawled from –

A wrong relationship
Where “no” means force yourself
On me and hands on hips
Warn what you're taking from me.

My body tells you “Go!”
But I’m not ready yet.
I wish I could tell you so,
But I must be a mute.

Yeah, yeah. You’re drunk, I know.
But I’m still not ready.
It’s 4 A.M., heart rates low
‘Cause I’m just not ready.

Are you like        And though
The last one?     Your lips were
I wonder & worry     Very clumsy
If you'll be right,      And fumbled like
Right for me,        I actually made you
At least.          Nervous. You! Nervous!
You were cute,     Ha! What a silly
When you asked     Thought, But, I could
If I needed a      Feel the heat, I didn't
Goodnight kiss.     Mind your fumble
Then I asked      I knew it was sincere, the
If you thought     Thought behind it,
I did.           I touch my lips now,
And you replied     Thinking of it.
I think you do.     And, boy, I haven't
Which was oh,   Touched my lips
So very clever, you       From a kiss
Clever boy.      In a very long time.
