Jaded and slipping,
clumsy; full of doubt,
love we all got problems
we got to figure out.
Dashing stealth.
Bins of wealth.
Perfect health.
Angular retreat.
Clandestine dwellers.
Heart breakers.
Sorrow makers.
Illicit shadows.
Foxes sly.
Hovering as praying birds.
Story catching.
Dream catching.
Truth distorting.
Expose of life.
Un secret de Polichinelle.
Their cameras.
They'll have you believe,
that they never lie.
Underground worms.
Detritus munching.
Anything that makes a buck.
Invasive bloodied journalists.

I cannot write
I cannot find
behind the creases
of my mind
the words to fill
another line,
those words wait
out of sight
for now I
cannot write.

It was only inevitable that I would fall in love with you.
I knew it from the minute you first came into my sight
and ever since then I've been trying to tread light.
I've never been one to take it slow.
patience for me is agonizing
If it was you that I was after, I wanted you to know.
and I wanted you bad, you were so enticing
What's the use in hiding all the love I've got to show?
But loving you was like leaving footprints in the sand
two steps forward, Twelve Steps back again
til the tides washed them away
along with all the progress that we've made.
I have sailed through your stormiest seas
while you kicked up water and tried to drown me.
I held fast and tried to stay afloat
while you raged on and tried to sink my boat.
And then somewhere along the way
you realized I'm not one to stray.
I wouldn't disappear
I wouldn't turn to dust
you knew you didn't have to fear
that's how I finally earned your trust.
That's when you let me in
you let yourself love me too
and ever since then
its been easy sailin' with you.
You were well worth the wait,
that was something I always knew.
And even if I can't be your soulmate
at least for a while, I got to have you.

She was moaning
but all I heard was
my name.

Your touch is magical, it makes me shiver,
stroking my legs they start to quiver.

How you deliver it blows my mind,
there's no one like you, I can replace or find.

Your eyes look deep into mine,
lost in this moment it's real mighty fine.

The passion between us it's more than just lust,
together we are comfortable, in each other we trust.

Your kiss is sealed with love that is real,
I can see you love me, your devotion I feel.

You shower me with affection, you see the real me,
we were destined we were meant to be.
when i scream to the heavens
with a hoarse voice from the most guttural part of me
about how much i despise everything about you and this world
i hope someone listens close enough to hear me

maybe my voice has disappeared
from years of screaming
