Body Shots

I am yours. Yours for the making, yours for the taking.
Yours for always, for good days and bad days.
For odd moods and sweet groove, for road trips and mind slips.
Yours for the time, yours for the past,
The tequelia and the lime going down too fast.
I'll be there for the summers, the winters and spring.
Autumn's not depressing, it's a regular thing.
I'll be there as your rock star, your stripper, your dream.
I'll be there, your lover, your angel, your queen.

And as I write this sporadic rhyme,
I think of all the many times that you were there to love.
It's all I'm thinking of. I want to see you everyday,
From morning till in bed we lay.
In fact, if you want, we'll stay in bed all day,
Just laughing and dreaming wishing we could stay.

But all I wanted to tell you was that you're amazing.

That doesn't rhyme and it's not supposed to.

I can't think of anything that can compare, you see.

Poetry Reading

You do it
you do it
I don't wanna do it
Please do it
You do it
You know I hate to do it

Just go, the doors open
I'll do it, I'll do it...
Shaking and quaking
Rather be reading ginsberg
I'll do it, I'll do it...

You're gone, so I'll go...

I've done it
I did it
It didn't get me anywhere
I did it, they did it
The girl in red was much better

Inside It's All Lies


It crackles and crinkles
The pages of this priceless book
It's faded and gray
It was written in pencil anyway

Blue binding, then rare
Who wants a blue book anyway
I hate the color blue

----------

Don't let anyone else see
what's lies
deep in your mind

What gets into the wrong hands
is dangerous
thrilling

Ulterior motives
to get to the top
They'll kill you

Tequila Mockingbird

The tequila mockingbird sings
beckoning you in
For just one more

Perched on the lime tree
singing it's bitter sweet song

The tequila mockingbird
helps you forget
past broken promises

The tequila mockingbird tells you
the way she felt was not real
and the way he touched you
was nothing to remember

In Your Head

In Your Head

What keeps you awake at night?
You're eyes twitching
Ears strain to listen to the light

What keeps you tossing in your bed?
As you dream the sounds
Alive in your head

He's going to leave you
They'll never love you
It's going to hell
Who is right?

Did you BS that paper well enough?

And you're eyes just can't close
Your mind is racing
And you figure that nobody really knows

I don’t want to open my eyes
I fear it’s all a dream
It must be my imagination
Something so great is the stuff of fairytales.

But when I feel you beside me
I know it’s not a dream
I open my eyes to find
Something so great is right here with me

I could look into your eyes forever
I could get lost in our dreams
I could open my heart to find
Something so great is the stuff of our love

In The Darkness

In the darkness
I would curl up and cry
When I wanted to die
You would make it alright

In the darkness
I never wanted to see
Then you made me believe
I was someone to be

Through the darkness came the light
You just held me burning bright
It doesn't matter where we stand
Just as long as I can hold hand

In the darkness
We were holding on so tight
Then everything burned out bright
We nearly fell into the light

In the darkness
I cried those silent tears
So you held me up for years
And I lost all my fears

Through the darkness came the light
You just held me burning bright
It doesn't matter where we stand
Just as long as I can hold hand

I would stand in the rain
Try to wash away all my pain
You were there to say
You'd never go away

When I'm hurting inside
I wanna lay down and die
You come and hold me tight
And you make it alright

Through the darkness came the light
You just held me burning bright
It doesn't matter where we stand
Just as long as I can hold hand

Through the darkness came the light
You just held me burning bright
It doesn't matter where we stand
Just as long as I can hold hand

In the Silence

In the Silence
Wrought by darkness
Came the Two in unity
Bound for all eternity

By this lake
A life to take
So perish in this cell
Future of a burdened hell

It Was My Choice

I choose to be that girl
I choose to play her part
I choose to put myself inside that world
I choose to let you break my heart

I choose to trust you
I'll accept the blame
I choose to never show what's true
I choose to let them think I'm insane

I choose to play the victim
I choose to be possessed
I choose to forget your every sin
I choose to let you up my dres

SnapShot

I saw pictures I thought were free
I never thought it'd make you bleed
When all I wanted was just to feel
I just want to be real

When you bleed, it turns me on
When you turn it is my song
Leave me hurt me make me cry
Tie me down and make me sigh

Let me be the way I like
Heart in hand, we're handling spikes
If you're here, you're who I'll use
As long as you enjoy the abuse

On the way to being true
I forgot everything I meant to do
I ended up lying to you
Consequently, leaving you
You know I never wanted to
Somehow I always do
As I forgot the way to you

On the way to going fast
I rekindled all the past
I realized it wasn't to last
Nothing in this life will last
I know below the mast
Lie remnants of my past
Which I rekindled from the last

On the way to seeing love
I lost my truest dove
I forgot to look above
To the truth and gods above
Please know what I am of
When looking to the gods above
Remember your one true love

You are my love
Pure sweet dove
An angel's eye to me
Should I open my eyes to see

You are the one
My searching's done
A heart so ever-true
With love as rare as jewels

You are my sweet
I'm now complete
I'll never leave your side
Hold tight at break of tide

In this still and silent darkness
When i'm searching for the truth
I reach out for the answer
When all I want is you

You and you, just you
My one and only true
My love, love only you

In the bright and airy morning
When I'm squinting from the sun
I look around for allies
When I know that you're the one

You and you, just you
My one and only true
My love, love only you

Wild-Eyed Wonder

At the wild-eyed wonder, I stop and stare
Such a beauty transfixed before me
With silken skin and radiant hair
A feast for all eyes is she

Don't Look Back

Tick tock, tick tock
Time goes slower, life goes faster
Speed up, slow down
Hit the breaks, turn around
You want to start over.
Try again
You can't go back, just never go back
What's done is done, through and through
You'll end up where you left
Wasted time, wasted years
Don't smile, don't drip tears
Liquid memories of the way it used to be
But, so long, all gone. You can't go back
