Kissing*
Without sensation
Or emotion
Is merely
Skin
touching
*Skin
Kareena Apr 2014
Someone older
Someone stronger
Someone more attentive
Someone different
Maybe you cared
That he is someone
That isn't you
A different perspective. I am always so quick to believe that he didn't care, that the feelings just went away, maybe they didn't

Foot on the brake
Getting ready to floor it
Make a move, Make a move
Adrenaline flowing in a torrent

Hand on your belt
That holds the cartridge clip
You have prepared yourself to be ready
For someone to slip

You didn't shut the door
This is a bad part of town
So I make a plan in my mind
In case something were to go down

I would floor it away
Possibly leaving you behind
Saving everyone else with me
But I know you would be fine

You help him inside
He's the only reason you're there
He can't help where he lives
You can't help that you care

He takes his time
Against my dismay
My feet are tapping, frantically searching
For bullets to ricochet

But you finally return to the car
After an eternity it seems
And I speed away instantly
Because this has terrified me

As I am returning to my safe home
I look up to the moon
And wonder if it looks the same
From his living room
For our friend Mr. George who we always drop off at his house in the bad part of our town

I was sitting on a bench
Once
And was measuring out my life
Day by day
When a happy, friendly, squirrel
Started to hop along my way

He looked me over once
Then twice for good measure
He chewed his chubby cheeks
Then smiled with pleasure

It's simple presence
Calmed my whole being
I breathed out my troubles
Then began again, with a new way of seeing
because Emma told me to write her a squirrel poem :)

When I'm left to my own devices
I'm adept to live with crisis
It's just when others mix themselves in
Then the trouble starts to begin
I tend to second guess myself and always think twice
But this hesitation comes at a price
When life is lived for others
All your hopes and dreams are smothered
Live life for you, not for anyone else.

Pigeons.*

I

LOVE

Pigeons.
For all those of you who know who Nikola Tesla is, you should find this funny.

If you're not careful
Your teardrop can turn into a puddle
And that puddle can swell beyond its limits
Forming an ocean
That surrounds you

So look around you
Place your feet on solid ground
Before that teardrop goes too far
Submerges your life
Because you are too beautiful too drown
