Consumed

He touched me
Touched me the way no man had before
His hands held my body
While his eyes held my soul
He opened me to his world
A world of passion and affection
Full of love, consuming my mind
Attending to my every want
He fulfilled my senses and became my need

You First

Broken in two is the way
You wanted  me
Swimming in my tears some nights
Not realizing that was only the beginning
Endless pain, constant reminders of my faults
Never being good enough to love
But a target for your hate
You shattered what little confidence I had
You built me up
Only to be the one to tear me down
Always making sure I knew I was damaged 
Causing me to hide from the world
Destroying what was left of myself
So that no one would know the true me
The one that you made me ashamed to show
The very things that made me unique
You hated the way I love
Because I stop putting you first
So you made me second guess everything
I doubted my every move
Depending only on you
You shackled my mind
While bolting my heart to your dart board
You spoke hate, with a smile
Your touch was like acid rain 
Your presence dried my bones
I lost my voice next to you
Your life flourished
While mine diminished
You took my very breathe 
From me to survive
I never had a chance to break free.

In Another Time

In another time really
Would my shoes have been pink today
Or would my hair have been so flat
Would the earth still spin on its axis
As we pollute the environment
In another time would I have really
Thought about my shoes first before I 
Picked up the plastic bottle on the side walk
In another time can we all love one another
Making sure our people have food and shelter
Can we stop camping outside all night for the latest electronics
And love nature, and give a meal to someone in need
In another time, No not another time
Let that time be now

Childhood

If Only She Had Known
Known the error of her ways 
Known how the earth would have changed
If Only She Had Known
The ways of my heart
The tears in my soul
Would she have done it differently?
Would it have even made a difference?
Her silent remarks
And blank stares, shock me 
Fighting some part in existence
What if she had known?
My behaviors would have been affected
If Only she had known
How much I wanted to be held
No more disappearance
No more Anger
If only she had known 
That what she did left scars, to be erased
If only my past could be relived
I could smile again

Amaryllis

Splendid beauty accounts for her shape
Tall and fragile she stands within grace
Her heart blossoms timely with anticipation
As she gives privilege to those around her gate
Her aura always seen above ground
Silky is her hair flowing like passion in the night
Subtle creases amazing to touch
Every part her body accounted for as such
Her personality like petals in the rain
Bringing forth new steps to her life success
A woman of peace disguise in fashion
Mere splendor her beauties fragrance
Fragile her voice, with a tongue of ecstasy
Her season in life, echos like the wind

Flow

How do I fix a twisted pipe
It's outer layers have erroded
It's been mended time after time
Blood flows through it, but
It's stagnant at time, I can feel the leaks
As it loses a beat
It's blockage is over powering
I try to numb it but it stings
The sealant is wearing away
So the blood flow is restricted now
It's turns and twist devaur my soul
His name wrecks havoc on my heart
How could someone have physically torn my heart 
In half, should I have seen this approaching
A blockage that stopped my airflow
For just a second, but with lasting affects
That damaged a layer of my soul
How can this be fixed, I can't do this anymore
What if next time, it can't be mended
Will my heart stop beating

Own Me

Midnight passion
Chocolate kisses
Dirty martini's
Vanilla liquor
Sugar panties
Cotton candy bra
His body over mine
His blood rushing
My legs open
My heart racing
His heat, my warmth
My body his treasure
My temple his home
Our connection between the sheets.

If I Could Change My Past

If I could change the past 
I would change these shoes 
All worn, and stained 
But, what about my scars, would I have to change those too 
I really can't remember how I got them,
 Why can't I remember this? 
But my scars won't leave,
 I've scrubbed, washed and tried to mask it
A change I can’t control
There is my dress, it has many holes 
And a few stains, but I didn't have anything else then.
 My hands grew weary, carrying those barrels 
Day in and day out. 
My wrinkles on my face won't leave,
 I've tried holding the back with tape, but even that doesn't work. 
Can I ?, can I actually change my past 
Nothing seems to work, hopeless I feel 
Looking into the mirror, tears running down my face, why can't I change? 
Why don’t these new shoes help?  Why can't the silk dress I bought, cover my pain?
 The makeup doesn't fill in the wrinkles, it makes the scars worse 
Why, oh why, Is anyone able to help me?
“No don’t”, because if the past changes, It would change the present, and nothing can change me
The past cannot be picked up and thrown away, as much as it hurts 
My past is building my future  
I see it the mirror every morning

Rising

Electric pulse between 
You, you and me
Like the nectar and honey
Waters to the leaves
Encase between mine
Together slivering
Announcing arrival
Stiffening between time
Lightning speaks, only at speeds
Fastened into my, my beginning
Showering rains, melting sands
Rising in me, accompanied by you
You and I, gone by light

Blue Fur

The beautiful sight, the sun immaculate
We walked into the pet store
Not knowing what was to come
One look at her, and she filled my heart
Her eyes glimmered like the ocean blue
As she pranced around her cage
Hoping that today someone would take her home
Her fur was like a winters blanket so soft
Its grayish blue color memorized me
The warmth in her body made my heart beat
She “purred” for me as she nestled in my arms
I felt like I knew her, but this was the first time
Her nose as precious as the streak of white
That ran down her back, her meow so subtle
Patience so sweet, nothing was wrong on the outside
But on the inside she was sick
Her presence like a baby
Fought daily to live, and harder to love
How could I have ever known she carried a disease
I wanted her with me, but was too afraid
For a cat as special as her, I never wanted to lose
Her presence touched my heart, 
And signed her seal in my soul
