Fearfully Clumsy

I'd never been afraid of falling
As a rather clumsy person
I had fallen my whole life.
Then I fell in love
And falling became terrifying
but getting up became the hardest part.

Cigarettes

Thoughts of you
Like a cigarette to me
Addictive and consuming
But cancerous 
In every way
Yet I'd still go down
In your flame

A Pretty Little Doll

I watched them
Primp and polish.
That pretty little doll
She sat quiet and still.

I watched them 
pluck and tease
 that pretty little doll
Pluck and tease.
Tease and pluck.
Her hair
Her makeup
Her clothes
All down to the last nail
Polished and shined

But when that 
Pretty little doll
Stepped into the sun
She was done.
For as it’s known
A pretty little doll
Can’t stand alone.

Let's

Let's dance through thunderstorms
And make love in midnight air.
Let's forgive on rainy days
And kiss with little care.
Let's speak of passion in whispers 
And devotion in screams.
Let's love till we burst at the seams.

Travel

I want to travel... 
I want to see the way
The stars look in the mountains 
And the way the light meets you eyes. 

I want to go to little coffee shops
And meet people 
Who don't bother with masks. 

I want to see the sun
Set against the water
With a million colors mirrored 
Against the water better
Than any artist could ever display. 

I want to dance in the rain
With not a care 
Other than why your hands 
Have left my hips
And when your lips will greet mine again. 

I want to see the world, 
But it's so much prettier 
Threw your eyes.

Ice Is Nice

Some people like the cold
But as someone whose blood was made of ice
It was the cold I despised.
But his touch
Like fire
Made me a liar.
For ice
Is nice
When your blood
Floods
With desire.

Drowning

Drowning in thoughts
Provoked by every emotion
You caused in me
Was like attempting
To swim in the ocean 
When you don't know how.

The insecurity and fear
Would crash over head 
Like a wave 
Trying to push me down
Then the love and happiness 
Would give air 
To my watered lungs
Just as doubt would hit
Like a cramp causing 
Me to sink a little further 
And finally bliss
So shorty lived
As the image of you 
You're smile 
Your kiss 
Filling my shaking bones
With warmth.

Distance Haze

The longing that's settled
Tears at my sides.
It grips my heart
Ripping slowly.
Leaving moans and screams
To consume the still 
Quiet air 
That surrounds me.
To feel him,
His touch light
And demanding
Throws me into a haze.
But his touch
Is far far away.

You

You do funny things to me 
My hand always searching for yours 
My eyes looking for every opportunity 
To have your skin on mine 
But my lips are the worst 
In constant crave of a sweet kiss
That'll lingers till the next
Or a demanding fever of kisses
Causing moans to 
Consume the silent air 

You do funny things to me 
Just the thought of your touch
Leaves me breathless and 
Causes a stampede 
Of heart beats in my chest

Burning In Passion

Where our skin meets
Flames lick around me
And cause incredible heat
That grows
With every kiss
And caress.
Our bodies left to burn
From the passion we secrete.
