Once Again

I'm stranded once again
You left me once again
I'm crying once again

I want to be where ever you are
I swear I'll go that far
Just to hear your voice
My heart leaves me no choice

I have to follow you once again
And try not to get left once again
Because I don't want to cry once again

Can't you see
I will do anything to be
Back with you once again

Collide

Tongues intwine as lips press close
Bodies heat together at hips grind tight
Minds collide when we are one

Flirting at any age

Showing off your mad soccer skillz
Thinking I'm impressed?
Well, maybe I pretend to be
Because, though I know naught of soccer
And I don't really care to know more
My act keeps your attention fixed to me

You don't know what you want

We all piled on the bed
You were tired and I was tired, but Gods!
I couldn't sleep.

Even when we had the double to ourselves,
Sleeplessness prevailed.

As we lay on our sides,
Your arm around me,
We were two spoons,
Close as could be.

I rolled over at the insistence of your hand
Caressing my skin.

You wet my lips and invaded my mouth.
I pressed my length to yours.

But in the morning,
I must wake to greet another.

I curl up beside you,
With your arm around me,
Wondering what the future could bring.

To Only Be
So, I lie here on my bed, pretending I'm creative.
Pages of prose surround me.
The room, bathed in soft candlelight.
Drunk on wine, I believe I'm beautiful.

"I'm not going to break your heart. I can't promise you that you'll never cry again. For God'sake, you're a woman!"

Jump Rope

Jump rope
But don't splash water on the windshield

Inner city seven-year-olds
With dreds and dirty shorts
Jumping rope
Through fire hydrant sprays
Twisting
Intwining
Plastic yellow handles

The Know

Smooth
Cool
Groovy
DROP!

Are you in?

FLOW!
Don't mess with it

Are you in the know?

Magnetic Poetry

Chain me fast
Watch still with
Beautiful bitter ache
As though blood is music
To love and lust

-----

Leave by day
We lose him
Leave here

-----

Eat raw & scream

-----

Worst science textbook thought

-----

Girl totally has it
Weekend looking up

-----
Big suit sister
Speak pride in music
Show blackness

Drunken Prose

Warm centers and tongues
Soft and sweet
Velvet deep

To love too much
To feel, to touch

Darling, I know I'm drunk
As we sweat in his bunk

The Cat's Meow's Songbird
Singing softly and sweetly
She loves no less than completely

Unfortunate to be directed
At such filthy swine
That sweet angel
I want to make her mine

Love, dear

Love, dear
It's the reason I'm here
The reason I feel
The reason we're real

I wanna be your sweetness
And you can be my King
If you know the right words
I'll always wear your ring

Girl to man: I've silken touch
I'll be your doll
I'll heed your call
Just, please, don't love too much

Drama Queen Entanglement with Kings of Queens

You love him, you love him
I'm your girl, too
I'm here for you

Put your arms around me
While your head lays in his lap
He brushes your face
I moisten my lips

I want you, I want you
Be my sweet dear
Your spirit here

This life is easy and gentle
For everyone but me
I dream as I watch you
You're in my arms and not his

Dear, love me; please, love me
Just stay with me
The best to be

Forever Only

Still and silent
Alone with you
Sound and sweetness
More than truth

That taste on my tongue
The thoughts in my mind
Of you, just you

Shadows creep up the walls
Darkness fills the room
I find my comfort under cover
All alone with you

Safe in your arms
Close to your chest
So warm, so soft

The fear we sweat
Our bodies glisten
Close your eyes and hesitate
Never a moment to listen

My heart on my chest
You read my mind
I'm yours, forever only yours

An Affair With An Older Man

Let it flow, let it tumble.
Let it ramble and rumble.
See where it goes,
And see if she knows
How to rumble and ramble
So sexy she ambles
Watch the wave, watch the wick.
Watch it flicker and lick.
Jump in the stream
Swim in the dream
Where is it leading?
Who is preceding?
When they finally realize
That it's not disguise
She has her whole life
He still has his wife
Parting is sorrow
So good-bye, until tomorrow
