Fingers small this is the part of
Falling in Love that does not hurt
grab my hand for a second
(mine are cold as always)
tracing fingers I know you are
boiling
Because I am boiling
and there is nothing to be done other than to
Stare
and act unaware
you pretend to not see me dancing
the way I can dance when I am free
moving hips and legs and arms like melted sugar and heat
you pretend to look away
coffee dripping down my throat
all my books are stained and a bit torn
I am not gentle with books or bags or clothes

But oh
I am so gentle with living and you

here we go

Still in my arms

She said she was an untamed storm,
—a lost soul in an unending whirlwind.
Or maybe a mess.
Broken. Shattered. Falling.

She said she was a curse,
—a throb that would never let go.
Or maybe a sting.
A bite. A wound. A burn.

You tremble, you fear that
I’ll give up because
you are a chaos, and eventually
I can see that in you.

But then in a flick of my lips, I always knew.

Though my bones will crumble in pain,
I’ll embrace that storm in you.

Though my soul will bleed and cry,
I’ll kiss that curse goodbye.

Warm. Sweet. Gentle.
I always see you beautiful after the storm;
Tranquil after the pain.
And more than perfect
in my arms.

My calm

Like a gentle summer breeze he is touching my face.

So soft and warm.

Playing with my hair and kissing my skin.

I breathe him in, a hint of coconut.

He's everywhere, my summer air.

Even through the coldest nights he comforts me.

To remind me.

He's always there.

Putting the 'Need' in Needle. (47)

I want to see a grown man cry.
Mother doesn’t approve of a psychology course.
Hatred to swallow only to erupt again.
To see all sides of that person
But no one knew.

You can grow like a tree;
Tall and strong,
Old and wise,
But a tree doesn’t go anywhere.
Alpha and Omega,
The vastness of space.
Your life will come to an end;
Don’t let it go to waste.

I give you a smile;
Genuine warmth.
Look at those around you,
Must you curse them?
Instead love them.

A needle can sew,
But it can also *****.
Use that wisely,
Be gentle I say,
Put it to good use.

reel it in. look at it. get it out.

you

your hands
calloused with the evidence of hard work and pain
your arms
strong and thick from carrying the burdens of life
your back
solid and sore from constant stress
your eyes
sunken and tired

but oh your hands
so soft when they trace my lips
your arms
so tender when you hold me
your back
supporting me through every affliction
your eyes
filled with nothing but love

To my love

I breathe in your scent for the first time in weeks
A heated red blush then runs to my cheeks
It feels like forever since I've held you close
You are like a drug, and I need a dose.
You have the softest red hair
I can run my hands through
You are the most gentle person,
I truly love you.

That’s Who I Am

I am a caring person
loving to the core,
serious and mysterious
sometimes hard to ignore.

That’s who I am….

I like the cool breeze of fall
loving whispers in the night,
strong arms around me
a midnight walk in moonlight.

That’s who I am…

I am a sensual woman
I love roses and lace,
the softest of a touch
caressing gently my face.

That’s who I am…

I’ve had a broken heart
have held dying hands,
I’ve been hurt beyond repair
but my heart loves, I stand.

That’s who I am…

I’m sometimes hard
stern and then mild,
I can be clueless
and at times a little wild.

That’s who I am…

My heart sometimes cries
teardrops in the night,
I sometimes get scared
when things don’t seem right.

That’s who I am…

Sometimes I am weak
at times very strong,
will fight for the ones I love
when they’ve been wronged.

That’s who I am…

I will love with my last breath
with love that’s pure and true,
and when let into my heart
I will forever love you.

Right or wrong, that’s who I am…*
~
