I held hope for a heartbeat
Nestled in my bare hands
Before I splayed fingers in defeat
And let it all drain away

I never saw the savior
Who embraced me from behind
Hands cupped underneath
Forever keeping hope alive

Loom as I tower over
Shadows stretched menacingly
Keep pulling pieces of me free
And laughing as they fall
Keep antagonizing unaware
Snickering and playing for the crowd
Soon I’ll bring every last mother fucking piece
Thundering, crumbling down

My hands find you
Gasping, groping, moaning for more
As my lips kiss through
The tides of wanting
Shaking breath loose
My tongue silently hunting
For a climax to induce

My hands find you
Grinning, rolling, taking control
As you move to dominate
The tides forever turning
Pushing and pulling
Teasing the pauses of yearning
Looking down upon me
Like the Queen of Tides
Forever churning

Silhouettes and sideways glances
Lighted by the moon
Welcoming overt advances
Whispered promises of soon
Kisses trailed teasingly
This the way we do profess
Melting away mysteries
With each carefully placed caress

Tonight we lay together
Beneath the naked moon
We touch, taste and discover
Until all is removed.
We need time to recover
Before we have begun
A sign – more than a lover
You just might be the one.

Not completely my own creation. Had a lot of help from a very talented Poet who helped me by adding thoughts to something that was written with my head in the clouds (She is just bad ass like that)…

You make me want to scream
Release the pent up frustrations
And live
Breathe deep of life
And give chase to the chosen
Forms of fantasy
To spin you in my arms
Share laughter that comes
Without expectations
To dance and prance
March forward through
Every dense fog that descends
Without worry as to the taunting
Shadows that surround
Giving me everything
Without giving anything
Soul mates found stumbling
And like drunks deciding to dance
There is no rhythm we can’t swing
Every spark of my creativity
Begging for the chance
To meet you half way
At the base of Fates stairs
And race to the top
To wrap each other in the freest embrace
And jump

*Not completely up to par but instead of sitting around slapping myself around in frustration for not being able to write exactly what I want I have decided to throw caution to the wind and just write what comes to mind…

Feel not alone in awe
For we both danced that night
Wary and watching
Splashing passed the breakers
In the summer moonlight

Touching and teasing
With words and whispers
Wishfully wanting
To be carried into a kiss
As we float above
The greatest abyss

Completely and comfortably
Oblivious

*This poem was a penned and inspired reply to a poem by another in regards to a night shared that was a very welcomed and needed experience.

Can’t sleep, can’t drink, can’t stop to think
On the dreams that she brings
Dragging me to the brink

The ledge, the line, so hard to find
A balance to the absence
Leaving me forever entwined

The want, the hope, the slippery slope
A semblance of remembrance
The rope burns that remain
Across my silenced throat

The lone knock upon the door
Taunting and teasing
As the paint bubbles
Smoke drifting under
Sucked back by your inhale
As you wait
Wishfully
For me to allow you in
My shadows scream
Tired of dancing around your flames
Trying to contain the madness
A frustrated puff of ash
Curls out from under the door
Swirls into my sanctuary
Dusting me with gray
But I will brush you off
Just like before
And leave you and your destructive embers
Burning outside my door

I see you wiggle worthlessly
Worming your way through
Every tree fallen apple
Changing your disguise
With such ease
I see the real you now
Bloated and rotting
Full of disease
I see you
Manifest infestation
Like a plague on the wind
Your lies bubble over like blisters
I see now just how
Quickly you can cocoon
And reform your everything
To fit in so perfectly
With just a single second of time
You are reborn
Reformed
Reconfigured
But still the same
Pathetic pretender
No matter the web of lies
You so quickly use to wet
Some new stranger’s eyes

Your scream of caring
Only a whisper
Unheard of

Like a lost soul
In a wind storm
Entangled in Emptiness
