Relationship Correlation

Life together is a sip of joy,
familiar with each other's noise,
secrets shared together from the soul,
euphoric laughter spent like change;
hands laced in rings of wedding,
physical touch screams their name,
smiling eyes caught on film,
holidays spent holding you for a thrill;
hugging hips and dancing slowly,
heart beats in sync,
inhaling your scent and relishing its power
compliments lead flattery;
hands intertwined deep in prayer,
lives built on nothing but care.e

I Want To Sway and Bend

I dream of the wind 
blowing through my hair,
that's how I win
the rush of air is heaven sent 
cold or warm;
Gods breath is my friend
a power with great might;
that can threaten any town 
and tear down any gate,
let a twister form within my soul
the weather is splendiferous 
oh, how I love it so,
car windows rolled down;
zipping down the freeway 
my hand stuck out;
being forced back by this whim 
I inhale the particles 
swishing around in the wind,
but I never choke 
to the trees 
I want to sway and bend.

Crystals Dance Inside My Dreams

The needle was my destiny
yet I choose to be free,
crystals dance inside my dreams
but I choose life
no more flames licking at a glass bowl,
no more chasing fantasies
my faith changed me;
to be a faithful wife
and loving mother,
no longer a lowly drug addict
laying on the bathroom floor,
with blood dripping from my arm
angels know my name
and Jesus sings me to sleep,
forever found 
and lost to the game,
my friends don't recognize me
they're stuck in a haze
a cloud so thick
you can see it for days,
drugs made me steal
but love made me heal;
I'm finally living the dream.

The Poems I Never Wrote

I dare you to give up
can't you feel the air?
as I fly by your ego 
you ate my despair,
It's caught between your teeth
your skin laced in grief,
relatable suffering;
gripping your mindless thoughts
don't you remember peace? 
Forgetful sins;
committed with greed 
dressed up in satin sheets,
look at your ruby red cheeks; 
we could chase the seas
I count the days;
to remember the chaos,
the chaos;
you brought to me 
don't remove it now,
or you'll choke on the memories.

Breathing In Glory

I am splendiferous in all my shades of blue
my eyes are like fiery Saffire;
embedded in my skull
glee does not flee from me
don't trip over my wings,
no longer in a dream,
my pupils dilate at the sound of the universe
screaming at me to be free,
I demand faith;
serenity and loyalty
you can't break the broken,
but that's a lie 
because I'm no longer shattered 
I flow like the sea,
breathing in glory
I dream and I dream;
lost in thought 
there's nobody like me
egotistical?
Maybe you're afraid to be seen,
because if you ask me
I'm as poised as I can be,
compliment my stride
I will have everything that I need,
my bravery knows no bounds
the view from up here is breathtaking,
you know you can spread your wings;
and come and see,
I know not fragility
my battle scars make angels sing
don't believe me?
They're up there right now 
listen, as their voices shake the ground,
it's beautiful, I know
it's all this peace
I've gratefully found.

Something To Pass the Time

Have your wounds begun to pachyntic?
I can hardly feel mine anymore,
bathe in my sin
let me wash you with my skin,
shall I dedicate my breath to thee? 
Your tattoo sleeve glicening in this heat,
don't you realize?
These mountains;
they speak to me
my body lays between them,
water gushing below my feet
I planted those lillies for you,
I'm plagued with a fever
the one you're familiar with,
I see your name written in ink;
I delenda the words,
but in my mind they're on repeat
cantilatting to a forever song
catch a glimpse of my heart;
my lungs too, are inaling you,
you make me feel panurgic
your hand will never be free;
from holding mine,
that's how the universe planned it
and that's how it will be,
I'm lost within you,
don't ever let me be found
ignore the missing reports 
just let me read you sweet poetry,
something to pass the time
something to help us sleep.

Merlin the Magical Cat

His eyes of gold;
peer into my soul
with a milk mustache 
he licks his fancy,
torn between two worlds
reality is magical,
says him so
needing to be free,
yet longing for a hand;
to scratch his silky locks
strike while you can
his finicky soul;
dances in the wind 
dreaming of playing again 
his sorcery is made of stone,
annoyed by your attention 
yet never wanting to truly be alone
his meow is a roaring fire;
piercing through the thickest of skulls
biscuits he serves by the claw,
treasuring every chance he gets to fall;
Quit to land on all fours,
he sprints so fast;
you could say he's climbing up doors.

Wicked Tactics

Fever pitch dreaming
finding waves;
in amble forgiveness 
touching God's grace,
but never realizing the truth
dragging through life,
always bleeding 
from the begging,
empty hands;
grasp for quantity
desperately dull,
seeking lies 
instead of lasting peace,
worldly delusion; 
blocking my point of view
breaking rightful freedoms,
testing hearts for their grief
miserably misunderstood,
lacking basic knowledge 
to give little relief,
I'm fond of the memories
running beneath my skin,
taking on wicked tactics
untill the bitter end.

Now Let Us Just Dream

Leaving marks on his flesh,
my words mean I'm here 
trapped in his silky hands 
I'm digging us a hole;
to trap our veneration for eachother
now let us just dream.

Faulse Memory

Dancing with crystals 
blowing smoke through my nostrils,
believing in the delusion
escaping from it's firm grasp;
the memories never ending
it's in my dreams,
interrupting my purpose
lieing to my face,
I could be deceased
a faulse memory 
imbedded in the cerebral;
knocking against your scull
begging to be seen
but forgotten once again,
beautifully undone 
yet gracefully at peace,
never will I taste your resin again 
the glass slipping from between my lips;
shattering like my heart 
dripping with eternal dread,
I needed you 
but I hate you, 
I thought your were my friend;
but you're my enemy
to your grave;
you I send.
