Mom

My cloak is no match for your brown eyes
You see my everything, no way to deny

Everything bare and naked like bone
Your warmth overwhelms my cold eyes of stone

No place to hide or runaway
Your arms scoop me up and carry me away

The scars I so desperately mask
You see right through, never meant to last

From the freshly painted crimson tares
To the lines that are barely there

With the hands that match my own
You heal me with more love than I could have ever known

The Silver Lining

There is a time we must accept
                                When the road leads where we do not expect

                                          Be willing for a sudden detour
                                   Open your eyes for what you can explore

                                      It will never be the same story told
                                For what you choose, go proudly and be bold

Forbidden Lust

Why is it me the loveless wanderer only tempted by fruit so forbidden
My intentions are never revealed, secret and well hidden

Torturous thoughts of your flushed skin so close to my lips
Dare me to take a bite and conquer with my finger tips

Succulent taste of a sin so sweet
Sharing in rapture as our forms begin to meet

A glimpse or a caress from you is all I would need
To shed my shameful self and give in to my greed

The Human Condition

I walk this world with the cover of a ghost
The one I asked to be my host

A link to a world I can not see
A way for you to be apart of me

With every free gift there is a condition
This messenger is sent to carry out your mission

Some days I wish to ignore and savor the temptations of life
But there you are to quench my thirst with a piercing knife

Some days I wish to rip it from my skin
Regretting the day I ever let you in

Some days I wish to revel in my desires
Willing to stand up and scream Hell to the fire

A voice creeps through the selfishness and greed
"Never will leave or abandon my child, for through me you will find all that you need"

I fall to the floor in sweet surrender
Thanking the Lord above for my Savior

Mr Grey

A wolf in disguise by the name of Mr. Grey
I am all to willing to be his submissive prey

His dangerous game is pleasure and pain
Others look at me as if I were insane

A dominant presence, he stands on the stage
Sweet anticipation as I press against the bars of my cage

This is not right, too different and strange
Oh, but I can't get enough of these ropes, whips, and chains

He shows me worlds not of this Earth
I am the drug that satisfies and sparks his thirst

Extosy are my wrists containing his seal
This is life and what it truly means to feel

New Possibilities

Suddenly you came without sound
Through my cracks, there was more to be found

Everything you see, my light and dark
Yet to touch your lips, but you already left a mark

Near and far I have looked for so long
But there you were, close to home all along

Tepid Soul

Endless is life's array of decadent sweets
Chosen only to partake a portion of treats

Ever aware of the fleeted glances my way
Ashamed by my ecstasy and willingness to fray

Storms within beg to jump into seas of calm
I dare just skin the surface with my palm

Cracks run down the length of my shield
As I feel myself finally begin to yield

My clothes stripped bare with open skin
I submerge myself and take it all in

Violent cold enters my every pore
My breathless gasps as I wish for everything and more

Dedication

To my Grandma whose bond I share
For everything you have done with love and care

So much and yet you give more
Endless are the things I thank you for

Here is something simple, a mere piece
From the gifts you helped nurture and release

April 26th: Together We Stood

Dazed I stood at the site I could not believe
Surely my eyes were wrong and attempting to deceive

A flash of red had led me to this world unspoken
She was trapped under his body so utterly broken

Still I don't know what I thought through all of that commotion
But I had to preserve what a father had saved with his unending devotion

Through the muck and rain I wiped her tears
As she told me of her life, hopes, and fears

I prayed this light would not fade away
Like the sun on that stormy April day

Above we heard from under our soaked blanket
A cry from the others telling her she was going to make it

I am not the one who deserves praise for such bravery
For the hero's were our neighbors who showed true comradery

The Conductor

Tap tap goes the baton
                                          Above all others he stands upon

                                              Silence, we hold our gaze
                                       Anxious we wait as the curtains raise

                                           Lift of a hand, ready on stage
                                     An aria begins to flow right off the page
