Hear the wind move across
The sound of air is loud alas
In it's way, destruction mayhem
As it feeds the hungry plants

It brings life and hope
It moves sails to their paths
It is soft and gentle mostly
Suddenly hard like a rock

We cannot speak without the wind
All we hear is the wind
Love is fast like the wind
All it's power from above

Behold if the wind is coming
towards you at the speed of sound
Grasp on to it when it is gentle  
Do not curse it as it the spirit of
The Lord
I.
His hands on my skin are warm and his touch is feather light
and he moves and I inhale his voice rumbles low murmurs in my ear
that sends waves of chills down the length of my spine.
because while he says he wants to treat me gently, that voice speaks
of promises that could take me over rough and hard and fast
if he were to only stop holding back.
And when I'm lost and at my limit and let out breathless pleas,
his entire demeanor changes and I'm able to glimpse at his eyes
molten and wild and wanting that makes me quake and tremble
because he will break me down, and he will still do it gently

II.
He is not mine,
He is not mine and I feel safe in the ambiguity
I feel safe because there are no lies of love where it does not linger
He comes back because he likes to, he wants to and I could
never ask for more

III.
A desperate jealousy consumes my soul when he looks at her
When he speaks to her with that voice she doesn't know I notice
And I cover my ears when she replies in a similar tone
And I must bite my tongue and clench my fists to stop myself
From wrapping my hands around his eyes, from calling out his name,
To focus his vision back on me, to not whisper the words
    I am here
Because she has everything, her beauty, her grace, her talent, her love 
    And all I have ever had is what you have given me
Please don't let her have you too

The way
I'll always remember you
Is the way you look
when sleeping
Your gentle face
with the softness of your cheek
Cupped beneath my hand
Your breathing soft and deep
So relaxed
You look much younger
Your curly hair
Featherlike against your pillow
Your body
feels warm next to mine
When your like this
I see how gentle
How vulnerable
You can really be
It helps to remind me
Of why it is
I love you

Love
What a perfect balance
What a complicated dance
What a mess
Love
Something that is both felt
And chosen
Given
And received
Wanted
And needed
Love
We all seem to have our own little perceptions of love, don't we?
What it looks like
How it feels
What it's for
Love
Arms wide open?
Or arms tightly closed?
Embracing
If I hug a man do I love a man or am I just trying to buy his land?
If I tell you I think you're making a bad decision am I your enemy, or your closest friend?
Love
What a complicated dance
Open arms always willing to embrace, but never holding back
Knees strong enough to meet me where I'm at, but never too weak to lift me past that
Words gentle enough to sooth a child, but STRONG enough to fight off giants!
Ears always ready to be lent, but never bought no matter how much is spent
Only love is capable of being the safest, most dangerous place all at once
Because love
Sweet, sweet, incredible love
God is love
This is a spoken word piece written in the midst of frustration with myself, and the journey of understanding marriage.
Soft, blush skin,

Aches to sink into their rightful place,

Press into their fleshy counterpart,

Yearns to push their sweet companion,

Longs to touch, to taste,

Form into the contours of a mirrored feature.

And nervously dances slurred words about,

Just behind their surface,

To tell you to kiss them ever so gently.

Mumble sweets,
like the taste of a cigarette,
into my ear
while i pretend to be flattered.  

A wounded dog-
I want to give up.  

Spit on my grave when I am buried.  
I want to dissolve into your coffee.
Drink me up,
swallow me whole,
touch me when I ask you not to-
but gently.  
You ruin me.

My Life Is An Apple Tree
And You’re The Sole Fruit
You Bear The Seeds To Me
For A Bigger And Better Life

You Are So Sweet
You Are So Gentle
You Do Not Sin
When You Blush, It’s Like *Apple Skin
Stars in the sky
the moon lights the way
the shadows fight to stay hidden
I walk slowly
no one left, but me
the wind catches my breath
as i reach the edge
the waves splash in anger
or maybe it's sadness?
an eagle flies above
is it mocking me?
one last look around
i take my final breath
and i float to the sea
it carries me gently
hushing me to sleep
my life flashes
and it's like i wasn't gone :)
