Bob Dylan had never told a lie
Jimi Hendrix either
I believe in context more than Congress
I believe in children more than television
And I’ve seen so much
and I still don’t what’s real
And i love my country
But i love yours too
Somedays i hate who I am
I want to be someone new
But i am blessed
Bukowski told me not to worry
About the bad poems
And this is one
And so is life

I can't stay

I can’t stay
You don’t make me happy
My joy is not your concern
Your busy
Making someone else happy
Its ok
I’m ok
Everything moves on
Soon you’ll forget me
And soon after you’ll forget her
And alone is all you’ll know
But it’s ok
And your ok
Time will pass
You will be happy
And so will I.

Shy

My fingertips
Bleed for you
Every word that I can't say.

I still like to think all your wolves are for me

And when the moon turns full

You howl my name to the sky.

Parks and Horses

Lays your eyes upon me

As if you were wearing blinders

And I am all you can see

I want you to study every detail of my face,

Wondering which mark to kiss first.

Learn me like a map

Taking new routes each day to my heart.

Circle your favorite places with gentle

Fingertips.

Bruises

Kiss my knees for I bruised them

Kneeling and praying to your

Presence.

Your lips taste like

Blood and pain

And salt.

Sin

Ever since you kissed my lips

All I can think about is having more.

How you’ll think my moans sound

And how you’re body will quiver.

Breaths shortening as I remember

Your lips on my shoulder

And your pants tighten thinking

About my soft skin

My name is Eve when I’m in you presence

And I know you don’t care much about hearts

But I want you to hurt me,

Break me apart.
