LOVE

Do not stress about love or the potential for love. It cannot be forced, it should not be worried. Invited or not, it beats down your door with a battering ram, impossibly large and intimidating, runs in and places a kiss on your nose before slicing your throat. We can build walls and battlements, but somehow it gets in. I have yearned for the invasion, the excitement, yet have been crippled by fear for too long. I open the door now and say here I am, come in you bastard (love).

NOT ALONE

Close your eyes,
Let yourself fall.
Please know,
I will catch you.
Everything at stake,
So much to lose.
Falling apart,
I break with you.
Look at me,
And breathe.
Feel me there
Beside you.
We can do this,
Not far to go.
I go with you.

Flight

Facing the sun,
Closing my eyes,
Feeling the warmth.
Deep down inside,
I know I'll survive.
Walking in the clouds with you,
Nothing can bring me down.

SEEKING

Tousled and tangled,
Lost in the darkness.
Thrills and fears
Between musky sheets.
Reaching out blindly,
Insatiable hunger.

Burning skin.
Mindless kiss.
Gentle caress.
Touch is bliss.

Gasping and panting,
Struggle to breathe.
Hearts that race,
Pound and break.
Touches so sweet,
You are all that I need.

Soap and Scum

Crawling and clawing
Through the disgust.
Frantically searching for
The virtue I lost.

Naked and dirty,
Trying to stand.
Slipping and sliding,
Falling again.

Rinse me off
And wash me clean.
Scour my soul,
Scrub till it bleeds.

Grant me the strength,
To thrive on my own.
Help me believe,
I can make it alone.
