How exhilarating...
this magic spell of you. I'm completely
at your mercy, my love. I wish you knew
Oh, I wish you knew just how deeply
you thrill and seduce me.
Your trace of "beloved" across the chamber
of my heart with your delicate fingertips
The tickling breeze from your blow on
the nape of my neck sends goosebumps
radiating deep down to my bones
Your soft whisper of my name gives me
a tingle up and down my spine.
The sparkle in your eyes and smile
explode with adulterated joy and shakes
the concrete beneath my feet.
Your every touch, goosebumps
cap-a-pie, skin and bones. Each kiss
goodbye, a torturous yearning that turns
my world topsy-turvy; my heart
churning like an angry ocean....
until you return!

I think I'm numb to the core,
right down to the bones.
I think I've given up too much,
I'm only left in skin and bones
I think I let you have me,
I think I gave too much.
I think I've not much left
'cept another cigarette puff.
Naked to the world to see.
So naked and bare,
invisible,
rarely I can see me.
Moments of clarity,
few and far between.
Strength, I search everyday.
In your smile,
in mine,
sadness is all I ever find.
It's all just so mean.
Skin and Bones
I am you, you are me
We're one in the same.
Ashamed is the word that
comes to mind;
Comes to mind when you hear
my name?
Without me your nothing but
skin.
Your literally boneless without
me,
So why not embrace the you
that is me?
Why not be at ease with me?
You say you are, but not quite
all the way there are you?
No i am not there yet.
I'm quite far from being at
ease;
Quite far from attaining
comfort.
Does it suffice to hear the
answer?
Does it suffice to see, to know
that i try?
I'm pleased you try but is your
'try' enough?
Is your effort sincere?
Is your 'try' true?
Skin and Bones
As the tears swell up in my eyes, then fall upon my face
You look at me in despair
I wonder if you loved me, or if you even cared
Was this the real masterpiece, or just an affair
My heart tries to be gentle and cover the pain
My mind come to reality and tells me nothing was really even there
For I have no heart left, the last shot has been blown
For all I have left is skin and bones
You were my life, I gave you all I had
So what did I do that was so bad
I loved you for you, something no one else had done
You were once my King, and I was your Queen
Now all we are is just a fairy tale dream
You got what you wanted, now here is my heart
I give it to you, for you were the one who slashed it apart
I have no use for it now, it does me no good
What good is a soul, with a heart that is scorned
And all I have left is skin and bones
My body wonders through time, my soul has no life
Doing what is expected of me, still trying to find
What you took away
The joy, the happiness, my life that once was
Now I am motionless, tranquil, I feel no pain
Awaiting for death, because I see no hope
For all I am is skin and bones

Skin ripping from bones
slowly,
so slowly that it almost feels good.
Leaving no flesh on the carcass.
Bones creak
at their first breath of air,
while organs pulsate and throb
in their new found freedom,
all but the brain,
which struggles
in it's thick calcium crypt.
It oscillates and shivers
against solid walls,
as needed fluid
seeps away,
through unnoticeable pores.
Floundering on the bottom of it's pool,
it drowns in the air filling it.
