in the works

In the center of an unpacked closet
inbetween leather coats and stylin hats
lies two individuals
names are not important
neither is light
for the name of the game is fun
and the clock
just struck midnight

his hands scout pitch black pockets
while her sweat glistens raging sonnets
gaping holes render their eyes useless
the sense of touch is king
and taste is but a pawn
for the name of the game is fun
and its midnight
we've only just begun

her body shivers, draped with fear
and canvassed with delight
his hands approach
slowly without hesistance
breathe escapes
mollecules of oxygen bouncing
atoms of hydrogen giggling
they bounce inbetween where
reservations and excuses would have been
recently killed by the silence of sight
but here darkness runs the show
for the clock
just struck midnight

he inhales parched perfume
as his hands find skin
gently glistening and afraid
goosebumps meet eager flesh
she exhales her last breathe
and inhales something entirely different
exhuberance...lack of encumberance
its hard to name or define
such a feeling rarely encurred
the rush of ghosts within each inch
of a gap slowly closing
cotton is but an endangered species
for the name of the game is fun
and its far past midnight
12:01.

toungues empowered with taste
meet and greet in quick fashion
eye sockets vacantly closing
under flittering lids
wanting to roll back
and accept defeat
each nerve electrifyed
yearning to feel
droplets fall
onto an invisible platform
meant to host
two thundering beasts
her skin reverbs
breathe panting
so much faster
his fingers juggle
around bare skin
imperfections rendered moot
finding themselves
grasping seamless ecstacy
dont you wish you were there?
might be too late for you
the name of the game is fun
and its 12:02.

Her neck pounds
underneath suckling
soft amber skin
melts upon his own
her fingernails pardoned
now scrape onto
shoulders extending
pain and pleasure
such a fine line
disappearing with stretched skin
she whispers infidelities
as vowels and verbs escape
into thick musty air
she cries out
words of pleasing soily dispair
all forms of proper
now turned to lust
dont you wish that was you and me?
never too late darlin
only 12:03

her hair now flowing
colorless strands turned loose
mixing with his own
saliva running rampant
down her gleaming neck
invisible to their eyes
once two masquerading
reduced to one force
invading
powerless to resist
fingerprints needing to spread
along now bare invitations
heading south for the summer heat
her head snaps back
she awaits so much more
already getting sweaty?
I think I hear 12:04

Ugh the ending is so coldplay =/

I whisper
and you listen
to every word
that utters out
of parched lips
that no matter how dry
you still love to kiss

I stumble
out of sharp corners
that catch me offguard
and no matter how hard
I might fall
your hand
always reaches out
to cradle my own

My eyes tear
from such fustration
that comes my way
but your pupils
always reflect
onto mine
calming me
when I need it most

My ears ache
from discouraging thoughts
and off colored remarks
then you whisper
and I listen
while your moist lips
reassure me
and soothe my parched
counterparts

My knees bend
when you walk beside
and I want to fall
but you catch me
to light up the room
Please promise me
that through dire straights
and metaphoric weights
no matter how far
or who you are
I'll meet you soon

Because no matter how far
or who you are
one day
ill meet you soon

Just Once (Round 2, slightly better)

satin sheets
softly cover
legs intertwined
as I beg the sun
to take that much longer
and the moon
to circle
just once more

The blinds leak contempt
as my hands cup your face
and pretend
that for each minute
of every day
they match the same print
around your soft cheeks
and I know exactly
that each freckle
on your skin
matches my own

Only a couple hours remain
But this is our morning
May we persist
If by chance
Our lips lock
just once more
May I memorize
how sweet they taste
and those freckles
will always resemble
my favorite constellation
The one I saw once
Just once

you stir gently
as your legs wrap
even closer
and I plead
maybe everything else
has been a dream
maybe what im feeling now
has always been
and always will
My fingers caress your hair
gently put the strands back in place
to when I met you
just hours ago

Before you wake
I toss and turn
to hold you close
tired eyes blink
as I watch you wake
auburn lips
curve into a slight smile
your hand touches me
with lovely audacity
and ten fingers
caress my chin


Just once
I think I had you
as time moves on
and the memory turns dim
like the morning
I saw
my favorite constellation
etched on creamy skin
dissappear

To say I loved
Just once
keeping to myself
holding my toungue
like I held you
I'd utter your name
but all goes moot
except your face

All that I knew.

Truce

We've struck a truce
Written in soul
and buried
in used soil
previously kept for those
unwilling to comprimise.

Held within
lies such a simple truth
I enjoy you
and you enjoy me
without terms to settle
or reason to stop

complications create
stipulations innate
and regulations that bind
two souls bound to unwind


Complications rended onto thee
branded into marks for you to see
a heart, a rose, and a strand
where your hair flowed in my hand
I remember smelling fruit yet discovered
and then your smile;
the eighth wonder uncovered
If only to forget
that time we had just met
I asked you to walk with me
Can I plead you to refuse;
It's easier to forget
than this ruse,
that you want me.


Such is weve gone our separate way
The truce broken
never again to stay
I think I miss you
because I dream about your hips
and I think I'd kiss you
because I yearn to touch those lips
I want to cry
sit and theorize
how to comprimise
body and soul
before my feelings are smothered out
on the smooth grassy gnoll

So when rain drips
gently on your skin
and the rivers flow
Raising spirits within
I tell these truth's
but with one to withhold
Painted on the canvis
not to break the mold

I'd whisper in shadow
I miss you
To pray you could hear
but lost in darkness
I need you
with nothing to grip or steer
in the abyss
I want you
to fall on near blind eyes
and in the void
I love you
as I learn to say goodbye

Sweet

Standing
ontop of the world
Looking down
onto you
you and your sweet...
oh your sweet.
And you make me feel like dancing!
But the nights gone away..
Whats a man to do.
Lonely
Distracted so easily
oooh whats ..oh what was I saying
ah yes, you
We smile politely like
the cultured people we are
Ignoring the screaming inside
My brain dances while my heart endures
I went wrong somewhere? who knows
I dont.
Do you?
You and your sweet...
Oh your sweet.

I need some good savin
My arms retracted
Reaching for you
Oh I want to yell
Stand up ontop of a mountain
which is ..ironically
closer than you are.
When did this happen?
Some would call me retarded
Label my feelings with terrett's
But you know suga'
We're goin down swingin
like a sixteen week number 1
you'll be up top in May
But back below earth in July
I guess thats what happens
When youve learned to fly.

Oh there I go rhymin again
A love sick doctor seus
Maybe the grinch stole christmas
but he should have included you
It would be a lot easier
when the wall im cryin out to
begging to see me
doesnt have a face
nor a place
And I can blame a cartoon character
not a real person
for doing this.

I highdive right into the abyss!
Judges give a ten
and turn their heads in disgust
stubborn is my middle name
Everywhere I turn
I'm a reason
an excuse
a last stand
an exception to the rule
Like a servant with the wrong tea
getting it thrown back
dodging priceless china
we're not in third grade
but still I avoid being knocked out
better than being caught stealing..
you away.

There isnt much to it.
Like riding a bike
With no handlebars
Or brakes
Just close your eyes
And enjoy the ride down
Cant rely on old voice mails
phone calls
and past reminders
Father time gets mad, you know.
For stepping on his grill
and ignoring the present
like a bad pair of striped socks.
Can you do this forever?
I guess you can.
I went wrong somewhere? who knows
I dont.
Do you?
You and your sweet...
Oh your sweet.

Riding the merry go round
like a little kid
ignorant of the bigger rides
with the larger turns
the deathdefying spins
and letting your heart cry out
just enjoying riding around in circles
without a care in the world
I'm envious of those who dont envy
I'm jealous of those who arent
And I'm impatient for those who can wait
But stay on the ride
No harm in that
I guess.

Beautiful
when beautiful used to mean something
Ravishing
when it meant more than a B class movie
Cute
when I knew what cute was
Untouchable
no matter how much I yearn to bring you down
Gorgeous
no analogy.. you just are.

comme un papillon
vous aimer me donne des ailes
mais quelqu'un m'a touché
et im commençant à tomber
pardonnez-moi
mais je suis prêt à essayer de marcher
son plus sûr
et ne blessera pas
quel biseauté soit blessé plus
adieu
mon amour


Oh I'm gonna love to dance again
newly innocent feet anxious to move
freed from ten pound shackles
covered in dark blonde hair
you know what they say
80's music and bacardi
drown out my inner screams
ignorance is bliss
and I'm enjoyin cloud 9
so wont you join me?
I assure you
we'll be fine
It cant be any worse than this
imagining a kiss
just promise, to let me breathe
because sometimes I get caught up
not like you'd stop
Can you do this forever?
I guess you can.
I went wrong somewhere? who knows
I dont.
Do you?
You and your sweet...
Oh your sweet.

mais je m'ennuie toujours de vous

Speechless

In a dimly lit
corner of comfort
You speak
verbs and adjectives
that flow so easily
from parting lips
Crimson reminders
of why sometimes
its better
to remain speechless

shoulder length hair
invades my mind
and as you smile
wispy strands drape about
that lovely face
and with those striking eyes
I cant help but think
of the gentle reminders
of why sometimes
it's better
to remain speechless


I cant help but wonder
could I wisk you away
to hear you speak
for just another day
You could say what you wanted
because watching those wispy strands
drape about
your lovely face
are just more reminders
why sometimes
its better to remain speechless

I knew

You have brown hair
But you already know that
And its true
I checked the other day
In class
With that pink cap
Trying to Conceal
But I knew
Long flowing strands
Never tell a lie

You have olive skin
But you already know that
And its true
I checked the other day
In class
With your vest and jeans
Obscuring
But I knew
Soft amber skin
Never tells a lie

You use a pink pen
But you already know that
And its true
I checked the other day
In class
Inbetween your fingers
Veiled
But I knew
Gentle hands to hold
Never tell a lie

You have a nice smile
You might have known that
And its true
I checked the other day
In class
Inbetween your frowning face
Disguised
But I knew
Full blush lips
Never tell a lie

Your beautiful
You might not have known that
But its true
I checked the other day
In class
When you stared at me
Not very concealing
But I knew
Because 16 weeks of knowing
Never tell a lie

Newest

Whispering sounds
from your highrise in the sky
Not a care to know
whom hears
You speak bittersweet octaves
Cashing in on my ears
bask within a throe of words
Giving me what I asked for
And leaving no time
but letting you
my occuring dream
live on

A vacancy sign once held bright
is now dim
And those I dont know
but once cared for
shot out the lights
struck my deepest riches
and left me blank.

It's slow to recover
Looking at what once was
and what could be
we walk along the sand's of past
and the shores of present
Dying for another shot
For this sensivity to re-emerge
to crush goliath
with a different sling
than where my heart lies

Gazing onto buried treasure
My hands bathing in golden words
I remember you; on your throne of roses
and your bittersweet octaves
Giving me the strength to endure
and cash in on what was
and what will be

A smile on my face
as I once again take my place
In my highrise
ignoring those that pass by
breathing in wisps of clouds
uttering droplets made clear
drenching those that care to stay outside
bearing to the elements
Sheltered from disdain

Wont you leave your throne
to come outside with me
and dance in the rain?
