I Think I got It Right This Time


At times, like these, I imagine an escape.
Escape, grab your hand, and fly.
Fly, not fall, soft into the present.

For at present moment I am in bliss.
Bliss as a well-kept house cat.
'Tis true, I await your return.
To purr and nestle against your side--
Patiently, 'tis true, I await your return.
To undulate under your firm pet.

Perhaps I am your canary?
Happily I'll wait in my cage
Till you lift my cover sheet and I can sing in praise
Of thee--

Let's fly to the present.
Yes, be here in the present.
Presently for me, ne'er would I believe, at present, I could wax whimsical words about you--
All the while, all the better.

I know why the caged bird sings.
I know why some burn effigies.
Because all this Damn distance is oh-so real.

Untitled

A long time ago I though you loved me.
A long time ago I though I loved you.
Maybe we forgot?
Maybe we never stopped?
I really need to know--Is it time that I let go?
Or give it one more shot?--"Funny," said the pan to the pot.
This is neither fun nor game--Truly, it's my life.
My mountains call my name--Her gentle whisper tames
The fire sign within me--the incessant wild flames
Tames me to a tea-light flicker at the end of a sweet wick,
This is neither fun nor game--Truly, it's my life.

Effortless



She's so effortless, she doesn't even know—
Keeps me coming back for more,
Keeps me knocking at her door.
She's so effortless, she doesn't even know—
Her gaze is where it's at,
She sways like a tabby cat.
She's so effortless, she doesn't even know—
I don't know what to do,
But I know I'm into you.

Isle of Sappho

How do I tell you I want to see you naked?
How do I let you know I want to take off your clothes?
I’m curious of your femininity—
The shape of your breasts,
The scent of your hair,
The taste of your lips—
So sweet to kiss.
How do I tell you I want you?
This feeling’s so new—
I’ve never liked a woman the way I like you.
In typical fashion, I bare myself to paper.
Pen as my witness, I desire your flesh.

End Notes



And now we resort to name-calling.
And how I've turned from brat to bitch—
And how you've turned from daddy to ditched—
I suppose I've finally grown up.

Confessions

Wow, so amazing
So amazing you are
You are with your pretty red hair
Your pretty red hair and your rosy red cheeks
Your rosy red cheeks are lovely enough to eat
 
 
I love to eat.

Private Message

Tell me all in a single kiss.
Do you love me?
Do you need me?
Do you lust me?
Do you see me?
Tell me all in a single kiss, or forever hold your peace.
