Naked

I have come undone
Like a shirt unbuttoned

Bare chest
I give my all…

Overflowing with emotion
Pouring over
And I just can’t stop
The way I’m feeling
Is out of my hands

Sentimental affection
I will show you
Exhibit all of what I possess inside
Give you
Kisses that will make you lose control

Fingertips falling like raindrops
Across your back
And I’m going to soak you up
With a yearning so sensual
Almost completely
Unbearable

I press your body onto mine

Show me reciprocity
What you want to do to me
Take your hands and show me the way

Shadow

I am walking behind
But I long to be by your side

Your calloused hands
Keep me in place
Those arms engulf me
Suffocating me
Never letting go

Your words though sincere
Hurt me
Hinder me
Making me feel beneath thee

You are colossal
Huge
Monstrous
Towering over
And I am holding hands with your shadow

This House

Magical evil realm of detachment
Lost souls trying to find redemption
Amid the darkness
Pestilence of the mind
Heart
And the weary body
Walking through these doors
Haunted with poltergeists and
Wicked spirits
This house turned on you and the people in it
Splash of holy water
And bible scriptures
Hear my incantation
Ward off the demons with grotesque horns
And nose flaring in a bloody ager
Who is nocturnal like the vampire Lestat
Morbid depression
Sucking hopes and dreams
Give me wings to fly freely

Off into the wood with the fairies
Tall as finger tips
Dancing and frolicking.
Whispering to me
Leading me
Deep
Through the trees
Barefooted letting the moist dirt
Seep in between my toes
I have a warm sensation of welcome
And there she is
Standing tall
In the purest of white; shining.
She frees me

All it took
Was a portal
A key hole, a tunnel
To go through a blackened bottomless pit
And here I
Enter a brand new world.

These City Streets

Change rattling in a stained
Coffee cup
Arm extended, "I need your love"
Sign read:
Feed mEe. IM Hungray
In need of home.
I notice there is sympathy for the
Dumb.

I know these city streets
Lived in these city streets
I breathed these city streets
Until the fumes of the sewers
Became me

A penny for my thoughts?
Why sure!
Futures torn at crossroads
Battles of the races;
Civilized white people to the black savages
Economy at a turmoil;
A wall street crisis.
Hopes raked
Like autumn leaves
"I need your touch"
Visions of success
Built high, torn down
Like city skyscrapers
And a
Melting pot
Brewing

Black and smokey
We are Blanketed by a perilous fog
Everything seems gray and murky
The average new Yorker whisks their thoughts away
And masks the pain
And go ahead day by day.
"I need shelter, I need warmth"
The cold shoulder
And blank stares
Is it that there is a humble person in there?

"thank you pretty lady"
I look at them doe eyed as they pass
Searching for a place in existence

Untitled

To get over this
I have to feel the resentment
So I'm gonna play these songs
Of shadowless and discontentment
Let these blues and sorrows get down
Get gritty
Tears flow into rivers
That I will one day stream across
Flip through the film book
Reminisce on the memories
Let the knife slip a few inches in
Tearing the flesh and blood pours down my chest
This is the healing process
To get over this
Love that never lasted
This love tested

Let me feel the cold caressing hands of loneliness
Let it send chills up and down my spine at night.
And the cold linen surrounding me,
Let it not help me at all
Laying on the floor as the phone rings off the hook
28 messages of questions left unanswered
3 days overdue for a haircut
And a 5 o' clock shadow
It gets hard to breath
But I know one day it will ease

I want to feel how much I miss you
Its the only way I will get over you

Untitled

Like a crescent moon
In the daytime
I am working overtime
Trying to get closer
To your cautious heart
But what can I do about
This time
This space
Apart?

Somewhat like a complicated melody
I am trying to ride the beat
But I am just a note flat.
Scared of words unsaid
I am fearful to be boastful
And tell you everything I felt
When you gently press your lips
Upon my lips
And we kiss

As if my heart had a steering wheel
I tried to steer it away.
You are too far and too distant of a lover
To fall for,
But my heart yearned for more.

Just Can't Walk Away

Trying to
Manipulate my mind
To believe
That you
Are the one

My sole desire
The one to inevitably take me higher

Running around
Assed out
Playing a child’s game
I am done with the toys
Heart steady
I am ready
To stand still

Didn’t take my hand
Foot planted the same
Stubborn you are…
I want to switch positions
But the will of loving you
Is all the same
I just can’t walk away
