she was tranquility in the morning’s early,
  moonbeams dripping red lights
and her eyes shifting softly,
she’s my favorite time of day when she smiles and moans
whispers and sees
she’s my favorite time of day
wrapped in moonbeams
dripping red lights
in my solitude and hers
my peace
   in her...

she woke my mind
with a consciousness
  undefined,
moving like a slow kiss in the rain
she conquered my demon’s reign
and became,
yeah
she became my mind unrefined
and
a slow kiss in the rain..

I want a day to
breathe with you
Or just to hear you breathe..
away from the world for a time..
I want a day to
  feel your face
close, next to mine
but far so I can see your smile..
times go and come along
For a while
memories sleep
and nights
turn to days
and I,
I want to take a walk
with you
til the end of mine..

soft quilted nights surround my ruin
where a longing
still
and sweet
leads me here and there
beyond this place
where
quiet destruction reigns
was it me all along?
guiding me here
to my place among ghosts?
the familiar and friendly
the needy and wanting,
it’s all the same
we’re all the same
here,
me and my ghosts
waiting for lifetimes to bend
for us to free
and lifetimes to mend
but what becomes
then,
of these
soft quilted nights of my ruin
and
will you meet me here in my destruction?

Will it scar
  If I tell you the truth?
to let you in on the secrets in my mind?
between the chaos and screams
and the madness it seems
  would you be the rhyme?
but, will it scar
if I tell you the truth?
to let you hear the voices in my mind?
and
will it scar?
your skin or mine…

The smoke blooms as I light the cigarette. Circling and swirling on the breezes of night. Commingling with the taste of cold coffee and warm whiskey.
     Now, here, embraced by the night,
and all her brilliance I wonder. The shadows come and the demons dance. A party loud in un-remembering.
     The rain begins. Soft and steady the falling of dreams. And I wonder still, where are you and where did you go?

she was random,
a pop up illusion against a
backdrop of demons in my head,
and there she stood,
standing without a waver until the voices dimmed and I could savor the flavor of my crave for her,
and she was random,
but there was nothing random about her..

I bathed in her skin
              and tasted her dawn
            til I couldn't remember

                 and we ******
                     and loved
               through the night
                     and now
            she’s all I remember...

she rhymes like the words she writes,
divine and unrefined
an un-syncopated rhythm always keeping time,
and her eyes,
   well,
her eyes dream like poets do and her smile,
   well,
her smile curves as the nights do and she
lingers on my mind like thoughts do...

Can I see you
naked?
beyond the walls you’ve built
to withstand
the falls you felt?
yes,
yes baby let me see you bare,
and I’ll bare myself to you,
naked in fears and dreams,
hopes and screams,
yes baby,
let me see it all,
cause this is where you need love the most
it’s you,
always has been….
…. you,
beyond the world and schemes
can’t you see?
so let me show you,
….just you,
beyond the age and fears,
past the hurts and lies,
and let me kiss
where your insecurities lie
it’s you,
so let me sit bare
while you do too…

let the moon write a rhythm for us to ride
in dreams deferred til now
with you,
and these fragments of us scattered through lifetimes
only to find us together
here
and now,
colliding in our own constellation
as it was meant to be
written in the glow of the stars before time
   and I’ll fall against your rise
   as you fall against mine,
as the moon writes rhythms for us to ride

can I spin my words
like a melody
for you
and me
to fill the space
between,
and,
in between
all the here’s and nows
highs and lows
  a slow burn
of twists and turns
for our minds
to follow
our bodies
to wallow
  can I spin my words
  like a melody
for the moon to sing
just for us?

haphazard thoughts
became the lines
and the words
amid the blurs
of a time
that never wanted to wait,
but this time,
never ceasing to stop,
begins,,,
just to begin again,
so I light the cigarette
and deep with breath,
   make coffee for the storm
and…..
       you,
before realities collide
into
haphazard thoughts
amid the blurs…

I woke up dreaming
still lost in pieces of you
lost in these
  places of you
with your skin next to mine
writing rhymes
  for us to discover
you grab the blanket and I
soft kiss your goosebumps
and we dance in our place between dreams
and you smile, sleeping all the while
and I,
can’t tell if I’m dreaming
as I take you in my arms
and get lost again…

mouthfuls of madness
brim from the tip of our tongues
as your legs wrap around my soul
my hands grip your heart,
grasping at moments
in a foreplay of moans
to see you deep and feel your depth
gasping
a final breath
fingers to skin
tracing shivers and shakes
forgetting to breathe
as I caress your ache
you tempt me to provoke me
and I succumb

I want to discover the undiscoverable parts of you..
the places you run and hide..
the secrets you deny..
I want to map these territories of you
and lay claim as a prospector seeking your fruit as my gold...
gently sifting thru the silt of your lives to find those pieces...
all of your pieces,
just so I can taste them as I have a thousand times
in a thousand nights
until you linger past
my dreams
and rise above
the screams
it’s all nighttime here,
its nighttime
and my demons want to play

she revealed herself in lines for the first time and I fell,
stumbled in a step
once twice,
never a sight,
just her words in my head
a torrent of thoughts
once covered in dust now back to life,
    what just happened?
she wrote and I fell,
just like that?
     yeah, just like that,
and then we met,
walked, talked
and red light kisses,
and,
****,
she got me wrapped in her poems
as they spit from her tongue
feeling her rhyme
and I
wanna get lost and drown in her vibe
and now,
she’s my every rhyme
