Before You

In my lifetime I have loved many
Not necessarily men 
or women
or anything
But everything

I have loved:
neighbors
friends
movie stars
movie shows
pets
parents
marilyn monroe
and E.T.
Old women in grocery stores
Old men in parks

My love is open to suggestion...
It's open to anyone

But I have not known love
I have not known the ache of absense
The longing for a touch
The butterflies
and sleepness nights
I have never touched love with my hands
or felt it melt against my lips
I have never cradled love between arms and legs
I never knew love was heaven
I never dreamed heaven would be so hot against my flesh

How could I have survived time
before now
before love
BEFORE YOU

Unleash

Unleash your fire, spark that turns flame in your chest and breaths through your eyes, 
bloodstone red.

Unleash your desire, hot moist dew, like rain between your thighs, rising in to your soul you 
once thought dead.

Unleash your fear, smoldering heat, a pain lodged in your throat and swallowed like pride 
you hold in your head. 

Unleash your spirit, I've still yet to tame with my mouth and my naked true self, alone in my 
bed.

Invisible Goddess

I hear her song
Through tree limb flutes
and saw grass violins
I feel her touch
Green velvet garden
Padded with soil
I see her sorrow
In raindrop tears
and her smile
With the morning sun
Her name is WIND
As if any Goddess could be named
Or tamed

A silent protector 
In still nights
An aggressive soldier
When the enemy is near
INVISIBLE GODDESS!
Know I sense your breath
God's breath
Know I am graced by your presence
Your abundance
Your knowledge
Be my mother
My partner through life's wilderness

Blanket me with your soul 
Humans call air
Remind me with your anger
Humans call storms
Fill me with your laughter
Humans call breeze
Then lift me up above the clouds
So I might see this small dot
Humans call home

Bad Dream

Call me a whore 
Tell me you hate me 
Rip off my clothes 
Spit in my face 
Drop me in to a bucket 
and pour acid all over me 
Laugh while I cry 
In pain 
Agony 
Tear the skin off my face 
and the hair off my scalp 
Turn in to a monster 
and chase me in to a barn 
Where a blood stained pitch fork awaits 
With the head of the last girl nearby in the hay 
Nothing moves but her eyes and her mouth 
as she stares and she smiles 
While you're poking holes 
That won't bleed 
Hollow holes 
So you can see through me 
Then throw me over a cliff 
and while I'm falling 
WAKE ME UP!!!! 
Hold me tight 
say you love me 
and it was just a bad dream.

I Will Be

I will be a flower blossoming 
Where only cactus grow 
When there is no rain 
and the land becomes desert 
I will be the sweetest river 
When the sky is dark 
and there is no light 
I will be the brightest star 
When the world becomes a WAR-GAME 
and no one cares about him 
Not even himself 
I will be his backbone 
and I will keep him alive 
Next to GOD 
I will be everything 
and next to GOD 
He will be everything to me.

Don'T Touch Me

Some people touch 
With their hands
With their minds
With their heart
With their eyes
Some with lies
Some with goodbyes

People are touched 
By a gesture
A song
A poem
Someone else's despair
Some don't care
Some never dare

"That was touching."
"She touched me."
"Touch me for luck."
Phrases that really say, 
"I don't give a F____K!"

PLEASE don't touch me
Walk away
Don't look back
Sit alone in darkness
Until you forget what I look like
Forget my smell
My walk
My voice
and my smile

Question your love
"Why can't I remember her?"
Feel guilt
It's OK
Until desperation sets in
Then close your eyes
Ask God to help you remember
That special something
That made you feel so good inside
So needed
So touched
MY TOUCH

At that moment
You will know I am there
Your body will shiver
Your eyes will water
Your heart will pump my blood
Because I am inside you
I am you
We don't have to touch
BECAUSE WE ARE ONE

Do You Ever Cry?

Do you ever cry? 
Are you ever afraid 
of feelings you've felt 
and decisions you've made? 

Do you feel alone 
and away from your soul? 
Do you fear love 
or is it your goal? 

Are you a man 
or a woman who hates? 
Do you wish for your death 
or rather your fate? 

Are you lost in yourself 
or lost in a crowd? 
Do you hang on each word 
that is spoken aloud? 

Are you young, are you old? 
Are you pleased with your life? 
Are you somebody's husband 
or somebody's wife? 

Are you happy or sad? 
Do you wish you could fly? 
Just one more question: 
DO YOU EVER CRY?

Pieces of Me

Pieces of me 
Everywhere
In corners of closets
and drawers
In notebooks
and trashcans

This is everything
My pen is everything
That even I don't understand 
about myself

I have my forever
on paper
Thank you, GOD
For pain and hate
Love and tears
For feelings
For words
and the gift of turning them
in to a song.

Listen

It takes more than an ear to listen 
Lies are heard with desire 
The want deciphers what is heard 
Then begins the transformation 
Changing what the mind knows 
the heart will never accept 

This interpretation is cruel 
Battering the soul with declarations 
that compromise pride 
Leaving only emptiness with reality 

Time can't heal what wasn't heard 
So I want you to listen to me... 
and be mindful of the veracity of which I speak 
For the mouth sometimes speaks with desire 
and my desire is far greater than words 

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL TO ME 
Like a blossom in a field of barley 
You stand alone 
and shine under the sun 
I want to touch you 
and take you away from this place 
I want to plant you in a bed of green 
A warm bed 
My bed 
I want to be your pillow 

I can not tell you where we will be 
Or if where includes me 
I can't see tomorrow 
Or promise tonight 
I can promise this 
From my heart to your ear 
I WILL ALWAYS LISTEN

It's Raining

it's raining outside 
i'm so alone 
and so afraid 
of always being so alone 
it seems a waste 
behind the window 
when God is kind enough 
to cry along 
and he brought the wind 
that through the trees 
sings to me 
a lovely song 
a lonely 
lovely 
song
