little girls grow up

who once reached for the birds singing in the trees
now she is one of them,
the uncatchable song

i knew you as an awkward, silly, pudgy thing
but death changes people
and makes them more beautiful -

too many lose brothers.
for shae, in memory of kyle.

She walks the street with a broken heart
Her only clothes ripped and torn apart
Once upon a time she was on top of her game
But soon she was down in the dumps with only herself to blame

So now she begs on the side of the road
People wonder how she reached this desperate mode
Her only home is a dumpster behind a pub
Though occasionally she goes to the pile of trash behind the neighboring club

Her life once was so perfect
But then came a decision she would always regret
It made her heart ache
It was all she could take

The love of her life had left her without a care
He left her for a girl with whom she couldn't compare
So she took off from her loving home
She left all the things she'd known

So every single day
It always stays the same
She walks the streets with a broken heart
Her only clothes ripped and torn apart.

We never had a sexless fantasy.
A bond so unreal.
I have seen your body naked,
no clothes underneath those sheets.
Your purest form.
I let you get more
than a glimpse of me.
You took in all of me. To take your
smooth palm and caress my curves,
I have never been so comfortable.
Our bodies needed each other.
Our souls were destined to meet.

It has been a long time since we've spoken,
since we touched.
No romance, no lust.
You are, now, a stranger
to me. Being
in each other's presence
feels like meeting for the first time.
I used to
be able to
look in the mirror and see
you -- with me.
I am, now, left to wonder
when will be the next time
we meet.

She had eyes that could freeze you where you stood
And pierce the coldest heart
Golden locks that would make Frost eat his words
Tear his poem apart

She had dimples on the sweetest grin
A highlight for a spotlight
And the way she'd bite her bottom lip
Put the good in every "good night"

Her fingers matched your hand so well
While your other held tight to her waist
A perfect width so that your arm
Could hold her close for days

She had dreams that limits could not touch
And a drive no man could crush
But she kept a calm about herself
And led on like a lush 

She had legs that would go on for days
They'd keep your mind going just the same
And the way she talked won you over so fast
You'd never know it was a game

She was as confident as a kid could get
And she could do no wrong
She sat atop many a man's list
She was a prize to be won

So strong in all she'd ever done
She knew nothing of how to lose
Strength, beauty, charm, or grace
She never had to choose

There was one thing she failed to fight 
The one thing she could not foresee
She had one flaw, and it was beyond repair
Her only weakness was me

soft and warm you fall into me.
brushing my cold walls as they melt to form into you.
alone we dance
in this slow trance of senseless ecstasy and wonder.
skin is thin
finger tips sink in
as they fall in to the notches of your beautiful bone structure.
caressing you exterior
your life vibrates on to mine.
like silk threads straining through my fingers
sighing in your crisp aura
i feel whole
