lust (Remove filter)
Layers
you can't stop it
love gathers dust
its downhill from the end of lust
so hot she squeaked
her touch a scorch
nothing doused my flaming torch
wet mouth a snare
long limbs a web
we knew this inferno could not ebb
ugly but chic
lithe and svelte
a body that would never melt
we sit here now
old and forlorn
wishing we had never been born

The Sailor
an old man upstairs has fits of coughing
women make his bed creak fit to bust
he's some sort of evangelical preacher
an expert on the perils of human lust
bones in bright sunshine or pouring rain
pressed down by limbs that rarely speak
contorted versions of my wide-open legs
I could make his bed wake up and creak
do my vows still apply after these years?
did I ...

OMG, it’s hoeing season

Hope to be pleasin’, just teasin (wink)….you

Oh, oh but does t...

Last Time
You see, as I’ve been waiting on the love of my life
Waiting so we can walk off into paradise
Thinking I was in love
Once, maybe twice before
Now I know betta
So Imma do betta
But not before I hit up not bae
Told ‘em let me put this thang on ya
One last time
Before the love of my life comes
Knocking on my door
One last time, before we have to say goodbye
Let me ...

Silly Rabbit
One hot summer night beneath a rabbit-eared moon,
they walked hand in hand.
They were engaged in candid thoughts,
dreams and visions of life adjusted
to the highest good of each.
They sat on a River Run park bench
head to head, attuned to the speechless earth-songs
harmonizing in balance.
Can anything be better than this?
You seek me as I am unknown to even myself.
I have seen m...

On the Edge of Lust
I want to feel
to feel you
Your energy
Your aura
Your soul
I want to feel
Feel anything
Love
Lust
Pain
I want to feel
Feel you near me
Around
Above
Below
Inside me
Midnight comes
Rouses me from frightening dreams
Sleep becomes
Thy long lost lover
Lost to the sea
Many lives ago
I stand on the cliff
Dark skies hug me
Angry wat...

The Magician
The Magician
She tried to say 100 times
How She wanted just
to be near you
She stood in the fire
Only to drown
Waiting to be the reflection in your eyes
You'll never know
How much you did for her
How just a smile opened her
Maybe it wasn't really you
Maybe she just remembered
Maybe she found her own way back
Truthfully it does...

愛
You leave me lost for words even when my thoughts aren’t pacing.
I just want you to call me mi amor, grab me, then have my heart racing.
Though often I wonder, is it unrequited love that I am chasing?
But I would risk it all for you — even spend an eternity waiting.

Train Ride Home
inspired by The Last Night of Your Trip
on the train ride home
your smile flashed between buildings,
lights flickered and i couldn’t tell
if it was the spark in your eye
or the streetlights beaming
onto the dark streets.
i saw your smile and your hand
reaching for mine,
those bedroom eyes
that whispered “bring me
to your hotel.”
we weren’t made for cheap
sex, we were ...

Lust or Gravity?
I thought gravity is the real gangster,
It's nothing Until I met you.
I fall to pieces when I'm with you,
Where I Cut into pieces.
Pieces to Crumble.
Crumble to melt.
Melt to garpes all of your shades.
Shades to chew your emotions.
Emotions are danger and glamorous that it can open all your needs.
needs are so dark, darker than your black lipstick.
And your lipsticks are ...

A Cautionary Tale
Come close if you must,
to my heart of rust.
Taste my sorrows
of ash and honey,
beneath the illusion
of love and money.
After the show,
your life’s a mess,
you’ll fall in line
with the rest.
. . .
It’s not too late,
to change your fate.
Turn away from a life
of heartbreak.
What you seek
is found within,
