Meet Me Half-Way

Will you meet me half-way?
Half-way of here and there?
Will you meet me half-way?
Half-way between our first kiss and now our last embrace?
Will you meet me half-way?
Half-way between exploding laughter and great despair?
Will you meet me half-way?
Half-way of creating memories and now longing days?
Will you meet me half-way?
Half-way of I need to go, but I want to stay?
Will you meet me half-way?
Half-way between our sun-kissed love and this never ending gray?

Platonic Lover-Boy

There are times in the silence of the night that my mind wonders there
There, in that place that was long ago
Where intertwined youthful bodies lay in a mess of immaturity and overdosed in-love
Wasted in pleasure and toxic lust

The candles flickered as our breathing hastened, fervent hands explored 
You pulled me in, I bit your lip
I quivered, as you shivered 
Exhilaration in our veins 

And when the energy is spent
We're in an even bigger mess of immaturity and overdosed in-love
Wasted in pleasure toxic lust
My platonic, lover-boy

To a Little Girl

I was that little girl who stumbled, step by step
Falling apart and coming undone
Like stitches on a ragged doll
So pretty, and malleable at the convenience of their choice
Daddy's lovable, tamable little girl 
An abiding, model child in this world

And as my womanhood unfolded throughout my teenage years
I blossomed with insecurities and questions about what it meant to be a woman in this world
I lived the freedom I was offered within the barricades 
I felt my heart pound against that injustice at the realization that I could be a threat to many more
Such an unsuitable girl for this world

Intelligent and stubborn, my wild heart hungered for a place at the cost of a man's scorn
A place where customs and traditions could not tether all my wishes
I would pave a brand new world within this this world

One look at who I was and who I became turned to stone all those who opposed the greatness of a woman in this day
I can give life
I can give love
I can be the fury in a demise

I am the beauty in a paradise
I am the warmth of a rising sun
I am the calm in a night sky
I am all of that and more

And I have left my mark in this world in "her"
I hold her gentle head close against my breast and she feeds so eagerly
She's taking in the life that I am giving
She is feeling the love that I am giving
And every time I look down at her she reminds me of what is and what more could be
My heart wells with unkempt emotion at the sight of her raven colored hair
Its lustrous hues of darkness
And when her hand is gripped around my finger no pain can render me worn
She represents my unfailing faith that she will be strong, respected, and independent 
In my world, in her world, and in this world

Hotel

And we are in a hotel 
with draped windows and a shut door
the walls cannot contain this growing void
as I watch you sit silently pending on your ploy

With sunken spirits and a heavy heart
I hear our mistakes play leading roles in this part

And we are in a hotel 
with draped windows and a shut door
these walls cannot contain the undoing of us
as I watch you grab your bags as we are headed for a cusp

With steady breathing and a cluttered mind
I hear the tearing of two lives in this room

And we are in a hotel 
with draped windows and a shut door
these walls cannot contain my hopeless wonder
as you walk away, breaking us asunder

I am in a hotel with draped windows and a shut door
these walls cannot contain the memories of those two lovers
as I lay my head to rest and my heart to ponder

A Bit of Truth

Tell me a bit of truth. The kind of truth not selective by my choosing but a truth so honest marked by your sole and only knowing. Stranger, sweet endearing stranger the one I know so well  yet don't know at all. Don't look at me so unknowingly when I know it's just for show. Hide but don't run, you ignorant selfish beggar. But I know exactly where and how to find you because I will tear you apart lie after lie. I will unmask the defiant you and I will delve so deeply and find your sweetness and use it as my fix. Because little do you know that you've picked the worst of victims. A victim succumbed with insasiatiable  urgency to have your drug at my highest expense. So run, run, run stranger because I will find you, or you will come back to me. You unfailingly always do because you and can't have me as your nothing when all you want is my every something.

In This Ocean Called Life

I am infinite 
Infinitely pondering 
Infinitely lost in wonder

The immensity of life's currents pulling me in
Losing myself in the torrential downpour of the waves

I cannot navigate through so much disarray
I'm swimming against the craze

I'm trembling as the waves pound against my face
I'm breathing in and slowly being swept away

Pretty

Dear you I see in the mirror every morning
Your proportions are all wrong
Where did you go they ask
Where are you in that mirror

I cannot recognize the person standing there 
So bare and bruised with words that have abused 

They're eating you alive 
But eating is your crime 
Don't gain a pound 
Don't make a sound

Skinny girl you're nowhere to found

Mine Again

Sometimes my mind strays to flooding memories of us 
Like collages on a tethered wall of moments that I recall
Moments of lovers in a trance where lustful desires met obeying hands
I cannot have you now, but I promise if then was now I'd make you mine again

Crazed

The reasoning between you and I is beyond comprehension. I pull and you tug. We fight and we love. We bask in hidden moments unknown to the rest. You're my well kept secret. Buried beneath cynical acts and endless lies. But in the dark we move so slowly tempting and touching, skin so bare and breathes so warm. And when the night is over we're driving home in silenced tension with no future to hold and only moments to adore.

Nancy and Sid

And you keeping giving up and I keep giving in 
This is why Adam and Eve have sinned
I dig my nails into your skin
I bite your lip until it sinks
That I am here to stay for you and for me

And when you fail to see the links
That keep us hung and hanging in
I’ll make sure to grip your hand and take you in
I am your Nancy to your Sid
