Burned the bridge to a distant place…

Hoping one day to be able to again touch your face…

Your smile it makes me feel so weak…

Looking away like a little girl, wishing to be unabashed instead

Of so meek….

I know that’s not what you’re looking for

But my dear I would have to implore

Give me time and you will see

The woman you’ve been looking for is simply me.

Always will I be there, always will I care…

Meticulously Moving

Feel the straw simply roll across my lips

Easily taking small sips

Touch so small- Can’t listen to anything at all.

Closing my eyes to feel your hands finding themselves on my body

Exploring the gentleness of my skin

Wondering how something so right can be a sin

Aching to feel this friction come to a rest

Cautiously you touch my breast…

This won’t be for us tonight

Looking deep into your eyes I search for some insight

Moving so fast to ensure it won’t catch up… It’s a damned thing

The past.

Let us not repeat the lessons we were to of learned

From the broken and burned

Setting my cup back onto the bar

I refuse to open back up that scar

The Chimes       

How can you be so sure he asked?

Maybe once the wave of nausea has passed she will answer

                                Carefully

                                Considerately

                                Honestly

As sure as the wind kisses my face… surely there will always be a place. It’s cool caress lingering, tousling my hair into a beautiful mess. The gentle blush of my cheek, fierce like my longing to hear you speak… Those tiny words forming into a sun shower. At first a simple mist which can lightly graze my skin- Then, it happens… they begin a streaming downpour! I cannot help but feel it encompass me within. Instinct says to run for cover, but surely that cannot be the actions of a lover. So I’ll stand arms extended feeling each drop. Allowing the panic in my heart and mind to finally stop; I know nothing is certain; but just like these puddles begin to form petite swirls and this air offers magnificent twirls- I can feel.

If I stay up all night will it allow me to be closer to you?

I don’t need to close my eyes to remember your smile

Lying back onto my bed, watching the fan feverishly move

In circles- methodically I can count each tile.

Not a wasted effort does it take…

Laughing just for your sake…

You think you have me pegged, I hope you’re not wrong.

The truth will come out not before long.

I could never lie, I’m not certain if the tears of past are yet dry.

Slow down the beat of my heart…

Think before you start.

Speed was always an issue..

Maybe that’s why I couldn’t kiss you…

(Though I so badly wanted to.)

I want to reach out and touch your lips. Soft slow…

Share with you a kiss I’ve placed on my finger tip.

Feel your warm skin against my coldness. You make me feel it less.

Shield me from the mundane when you ask “what’s your name?”

A flash of light illuminates your face, a quick inhale and smoke crowds the space.

I smile and look down-with a gentle word I realize I can no longer frown.

Closing around me hours before re-enter to the night; But never had I seen the stars shine so bright.

For once feeling the air penetrate my very core; catching my breath I feel so sure…

Intoxicated by your cologne never wanting to admit how I feel so alone…

I don’t want this night to end; give and take but what message am I to send?

Bedded by another; left to discover.

I’d listen to reason had my mind been reasonable.
