Stoney Well
Ruby Lee Jun 2011
Well. I was trying to reach you.
And what shall I do now? I
cannot escape this and there is
nowhere to run to. I have fallen
and you are all wrapped up.
But you still somehow manage to
do and say the right things to get me
swayed. My head is ******* swayed
by you. I just start thinking. I just
get my mind blown.
By you.
It's like you must know the
effect you are having. Or could
potentially have. Those caramel cherries did not sway
me alone. They came from your thoughtful
head. Your even keeled thoughtful head.
I can never read you. Which is
funny, because acting is ****. But it comes
with a drawback, I guess.
You always act around me.
I am surprised at these
effects. It's not that I always
get high with you. It's how I
feel when you are gone, and I never
got to get the whole truth out.

Swim Love
Ruby Lee Jun 2011
It is the scent of you I cannot erase
And I cannot be blamed for ins and outs
And ups and downs inside a soul
Unforgotten.
No. That is you, doing what you do,
Unknowingly. Swaying
A heart into, on to
Another planet.
Light beams and solar screens,
I've not been here before.
Taking and molding,
Shadows become reality,
And it's the dream we no longer

Chase.
I see it in you. And it makes
My freckles melt.
The essence of my being cannot
Hide anywhere from your
truths. Solar screens taking me
Captive in the best way, tanning
My skin with a new love,
I never did know.
My heart will glow
Always. No matter the outcome.
There are fears within and tears
That have already been cried, and
The lessons already learned.
Sill, I want to dive into you and just
Keep
On
Swimming.

Little Desire
Ruby Lee Jun 2011
Little desire.
Great big fire inside of me
Start as a spark growing in my heart
And you are spreading. You are spreading the news.
Well, what did I do to deserve you
Taking over all of my waves?
You change me up
Strangely fill my cup and
At the same time make me want more.
I do not know your origin, or if
You intend to stay. It is no struggle,
I will dance in your light as long as
WE are illunimated.
No illusory image there,
You hide under fine hairs and inside of
Bones inside of freckled skin.
I can only take you in always.
As long as you linger inside of my fingers
And exit through my breath,
Turning air into electric energy
Around me.

Mouse
Ruby Lee Jun 2011
It is nearly disappointing.
The words come naturally, the laugh, the smile in my eyeballs.
Why does it have to be this way?
Can it not be the way it was?
Can I not forget the like I found in you, and rest in yesterday's heavy unnoticed want?
That was fine.
This. This is nearly brutal.
I could be a mouse and this could all be a string.
And you are a man with a string.
I don't want to be a ******* mouse.
I just want a truthful balance.
Or wait, **** balance. That doesn't matter
Balance was never essential.
Just the honesty, man.
Don't lie to me. I love you.
