Compass

Take me down your path of roses,

Lead me through the evening dusk.

Hold the door before it closes,

Bright your candle burns with lust.

Skin on skin, the path we’ve chosen,

Love will always find a way.

Lovers’ compass can’t be broken,

Burning touch won’t lead astray.

Lips that map the tender landscape,

Always find their way back home.

Lovers’ compass saves from heartache,

Skin on skin will make us whole.

Trail mix

I forgot my name

In the rocks and the grass,

In the mountain frame,

All we have, all will pass.

Let’s get lost in the wild

Play a game for a while

You’ll seek, I’ll hide,

No set dinner time.

Lets forget our names,

No dinner by six,

Just the rocks and the trees,

And a handfull of trail mix.

Flashlight

When I close my eyes,

I’m alone in the dark.

No loving hand to lead me

No match to light a spark.

Follow me into the darkness,

Don’t fear the thundering skies.

May your love be the flashlight

To help me open my eyes.

Thought

I thought about you,

Far and wide,

My never-ending, loving smile.

You gave me meaning

When I tried

To hide.

Now I find

You in my eyes,

My smile.

Don’t lie.

You knew I’d love you,

When you smiled.

The first time

You tried

To kiss me,

You were mine.

And I was trapped

In your smile.

Bunch

Grab hold of my hand.

A bunch of excuses -

I burned our lunch.

You don’t like

Me much.

You don’t need my touch.

I have a hunch

You don’t love me.

I clutch your hand,

Forgive me.

I’m nothing much.

A bunch of excuses,

The leftovers

Of us.

Winter

Each passing day

Takes me further away

From what we were.

A melting

Pile of us,

Once - white snow,

Now dirty dust.

Tell me,

Do you still

Feel the chill?

Will you warm my

Freezing hand?

You stand cold,

No hand you’ll hold.

I ache for the

White winter we were.

Don’t go away.

Don’t disappear.

I don’t need

The spring.

Hide me under

Your snow-cowered wing.

Ghost story

His soft touch of cold

Glides over her face,

Some souls are lost

Born out of their place.

She wakes to his shade,

Unseen in her eyes,

Dawn’s shining blade,

The ruthless sunrise.

Her lips trace the cold,

Invisible face,

Some souls are old,

Lost in timespace.

Tent

My heart is for rent

Not a house, but a tent.

A love’s compromise,

A friend in disguise.

No cold brick wall

To protect you from all.

My construction is light,

A dandellions flight.

A heart for rent

Is Heaven sent.

It won’t break, but bend,

A lightweight tent.

Popcorn

Crunch me, punch my

Salty attitude,

Coat your sugar

Over me,

Slide as smooth

As butter,

Melting

Into me.

A hot mess of

Random motion -

So are we.

Pop your corny

Questions

After we

Kill the hunger.

Now I see

No longer

Your eyes

Bear the flame

Of caramel.

Oh, well…

Fast food’s

Cheap as hell.

Oh, well…

Bitter

When did you go

So bitter, my dear?

Was it a day,

Or a couple of years?

You taste no longer

Sweet on my tongue.

Was the bitterness

There all along?

Your love is a pill,

I swallow it hard.

It doesn’t heal,

Just tastes tart.

I no longer care,

If you come

Or you go.

Your pill

Is a bitter

Placebo.

Marshmallow

Burn, baby, burn!

I’m pure fire,

Soon you’ll learn

The name of desire.

Fill me with sweetness

Your crunchy crust hides,

I’ll keep you warm

Don’t trip!-  I don’t bite!

Burn, baby burn!

You know

What I’ll do!?

I’ll roast you

The whole night

Through.

Selflove

I put a pretty

Ribbon in my hair.

There! It’s dumb,

But I don’t care.

I put a pretty dress on,

For no one to see,

Just for me.
