One pulls me down in a sea of tenderness
safe gentle lapping waves of love and comfort
so soothing like a warm summer pond in the south
He is my anchor

The other loves me like a wild forbidden passionate rush
an all consuming type of love, making the world disappear
clinging to a life raft in a turbulent sea
He is my storm

Enticing waters with the luminous waves that can tempt the dead from their bed. My soul longs for both. I cannot drift off to peaceful sleep until the waves of desire find their sweet release. A wondrous storm of love in a turbulent sea or a steadfast anchor that has taken hold on a part of me

UNTIL THE FALL
 Sep 2015 PJ

I opened a door
Immoral and vile
Less than the blink of an eye
She embraced her wild
In needles and ******
And bent steel spoons
I left her there
In her anti-social doom

So long ago
When immortality ruled
The rush of madness
That we pursued
Lost like rats
In city walls
Chasing death
Until we fall...
Some of those addicts
Will never have the will to cure their minds and souls.
Perhaps they lack what we have.

Lay awake
Think of you
Close my eyes
See me too?
Hold your hand
Smile at me
Open heart
Do you see?
Silent kiss
Never comes
Still I wait
Hope not gone
Freezing wind
Warmth of home
In your arms
Not alone
Sit with me
Hear my song
Read my tale
Draw our love
One more time
Try again
On my lips
Yours remain

Shall love be limited
To the mate of true soul
Are you so afraid
To just let go

Relax your heart
Control the beat
Fear not the reaper
Resolve your beast

The realm of all possibilities
Holds a constant flow
Through new days of uncertainty
In the benevolence of our role...

marks from scratching skin

The trees outside are begging me:

I can’t move my legs,

like my mother
reminding me I have sensitive skin.

Grounded by a force in my feet
pulling me closer to your hip bones.

You ran out of patience
and into someone else.

The flowers are drowning,
maybe I can pick them all
before the TV gets too loud for my ears;
you should know where I keep the shovel.

Softly for you,
all of it.

Everything,
I’d give

Can I stay the night?
Inside of your rib cage.
I want to touch you

What am I supposed to say?

I’ll always think of you.

Ice isn't solid forever

I am waiting for you,
To melt

Scared of heights?

Maybe it's broken glass
In your eyes.

I still feel
Feel
Feel you
In my head
Like a pounding that won't quit
I want you more than time

and there is no shortness

of that.

You didn't notice the girl gazing at you
like desert stars do
when you lay with ancient light in your eyes.
She was toying with her hair
and you missed it.

nobody asked to feel this way

I never thought that
Life could ever be this good and
I'm blessed with so many wonderful people
And so many wonderful things in
My life, but
It's really disheartening to know that
Even with all the good things happening
Mental illness will never let me truly be free
