A Vision of Feminine Architecture

Acoustic hips
Pin-up lips
Curls of a goddess
Bows on the bodice
Waist thin and petite
Slender dancer's feet
Skin glittering bronze
Graceful as the swans
Hands long to hold
Eyes glitter more than gold
Voice like velvet
Sun-kissed brunette
Radiating smile
Bold, trend-setting style
Anger you cannot stir
A love you cannot spur
For she has a heart of stone
Therefore she'll remain alone.

A Sea of Sheets

Faded denim blue

of my favorite wornout jeans

your Grandmother's chair

a vision of vintage dreams

The ceiling is spinning

my stomach is gone

my eyes open

to a new dawn

I could kiss you through the night

pretend it's not contrite

that all this evidence

isn't a serious offense

it could be love in a sense

but on your part a false pretense

I lay there and stare

 and wonder

when this will end

I can see you

through the prison

that is best friends

A new light arises

no understanding of what it may be

a closet of suprises

a confidence boost

a boy seduced

unveiled our disguises

Sense of seclusion

a world of disillusion

just another journey

just another experience

just a notch in a bedpost

just a fallen prince

Love get out of my heart

He doesn't want you there

Before it tears us apart

Romance get out of my hair

I want to hold you

I want to dance until we drop

I don't want to be through

I don't want to stop

I want to be your closest friend

I want you to let me in

But these pondering thoughts are a waste

for yours are one of a different taste

Unfortunately,

it will never be

because you

will never

love

 me.

Void

Constant gorging of lies
and envious eyes
saying everything will be alright.

But it's constant goodbyes
which proves no surprise
a distant vision in the night.

A thought to attend
backwards to bend
trying to find a response

Wrists so thin
and that stupid grin
with its nonchalance

Breeding hate
just appreciate
the millions of acts of kindness

The Ignorance
started in that sense
on the first day of blindness

Outright cruelty
on the verge of gutsy
let her belong

Bleeding
Needing
lungs are sore from screaming

Learning
Yearning
all the while you're scheming

Just want to feel
a sincerity that's real
and move on with life.

To sow and reap
the cuts so deep
but let go of the knife.

Photographer

Capturing moments

that never even exist
Reality cripples

and still you persist

Light damages the lenses

As truth damages hearts

Not exactly a thing that cleanses

but still a selfless art.

An image is worth a thousand words

but words are useless

just like your toothless lies

that scatter with the flight of birds.

She dances across your eyelids

Just like all the others did

Perhaps they'll return with a glimmer

or slip away as the memories grow dimmer.

At a glance you're beautiful

but you lead to nowhere

do you dare

sitting there

in that dashing sweater
made of wool.

Sweet disposition
if those fingers could stroke your cheek

and linger, so tender and meek

to show you, give you permission

You can have her, but you've got to take her
She'll run away, don't make her.

Beseech her

Reach her

Hold her

Mold her

Into your curves

Into your art

Don't let them

tear her apart.

When Boy Meets Girl

Dance like stars
And fall like rain
Run like the wind
and cripple like pain.

The grass changed green over night
and pollen covered flower's sight

Dreaming between sheets
of two different worlds
longing for the moment
when boy meets girl.

The make-up rubbed from my eyes
Elbows resting upon my thighs
Secretly smiling to myself
Dreaming of taking my heart off the shelf.

But I am afraid to show it to you
Kept in a jar, cracked and abused.

I decided to give you a chance
But it slipped from your fingers
Watched it shatter with only a glance
and still the brokeness lingers.

I sat in the floor
and stared at the bits
until a knock on the door
saved me from my fits.

A long, moaning creak
as I took a peek
to see who it might be
and indeed I'd see

That it was you
remaining true
to that pact
coming back
to patch the cracks.

I jumped into your arms
forgetting the harm

The air began to swirl
as our feet left the ground
in a tumultuous twirl
a new healing was found.

I smiled up at you
You smiled down at me
At the secret we knew
that set us free.

You grabbed my hand
and we took off running
Never had we felt so grand
or looked so stunning.

I knew this was my future unfurled,
and in my shoes my toes curled,
this was the moment of  boy meets girl.

Mojo - Inspired by a True Story

Wind in the water
Joy on the breeze
A poets words
With naked knees

Tired tongues
Air-tight lungs
Feet on fire
World of desire
Clad in plaid

Dream in cream

Running until our legs gave out

You strummed on my heart strings with clout

A mild spirit
That helped me take flight
Like the airplanes overhead
I scaled the sky, away from my plight

This cavity of sorrow
Would surely have swallowed me whole
Had I not taken this risk,

Given you control

I don't know what Fate expects
Or what Destiny brings
But I won't hide within these fairy rings

Wishing for love
Hoping for joyWandering this Earth
With such an enchanting boy

I found my way home
Your ghost in the passenger seat
Where next will we roam?
I wondered, with a curiosity sweet

I dream of driving with you
Down the road to nowhere
Singing at the tops of our lungs
Melodies reflecting a heart so bare

So bare and untouched
A fear we had clutched
now releasing, and we're singing:

"What made me behave that way?

Using words I never say

I can only think it must be love

Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

Someone tell me how I feel

It's silly wrong but vivid right

Oh, kiss me like the final meal

Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight

Cause holy cow, I love your eyes

And only now I see the light

Yeah, lying with me half-awake

Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

So throw those curtains wide.

One day like this a year'd see me right."

We Ran

Dark New Day

All Hope Lost

Never a day like this

Never such a sorrow

Feet on the Floor

Dragging my soul

behind me

I washed

and left

They met me

down the road

carrying baskets

full of flowers and spices

Through the trees
and seas of tears
we tread

Guarded
Tomb
Stone
Death was here

A lightening countenance
robes white as snow
They fainted

Rolled Away
Brand New Day
We stood Trembling

He was Gone
The Clothes Discarded
No longer broken hearted

My heart beat
out of my chest
picking up my feet
I ran for the rest

My soul arose to Heaven
I felt like I could fly
I didn't understand it
because I'd watched him Die

But I had faith
I'd Believe
His face and scarred
Hands I'd seen

I made it to the door
threw it open wide
a smile danced on my lips
and I shouted,
Jesus is Alive!
