hush
(don’t make a sound)
let’s fight (off moans
and exhaled breaths)
until we explode
(on shredded bed sheets
and stolen layers of skin)
slipping (chaos) inside
crafting cacophonies
in the key of love
(make me break) silence
(i will howl
if you’ll purr me to sleep)
two slices
their eyes drizzle chocolate
like melted brownies
with a welcoming warmth
and both as sweet
(sixteen reasons to turn away
from the daughter
many more to want the mother)
the candles blaze
from taken invitations
i long for lips (to blow me
out) let me taste the cake
i long to have
ink
write me (like a poem
wrestle each word with your tongue
to taste every kissable inch)
however you want
(sculpt the scene
and bend me how you will)
turn me on (like a metaphor
tell me what i am
not what i’m like)
then make me (a verb
you can only do)
without asking
hide me
fan the flames that died
i’m not done burning
and where are you now
whoever you are
where did you go
were you ever here
i can’t see light
only shadows
of what i thought
was us
but was only me
all along
if i didn’t know you
who was it then
how many of you
walk through your mind
i saw two of you
and both have died
along with me
hopes and dreams
you don’t want me
but keep hands clenched
over my heart
to stop my bleeding
i am someone else
i always was
you can hide
but so can i
ahead
run away from me
(i’ll find you
wherever you are
if you want me
too) don’t stop
for a breath of air
or turn your head
don’t watch your feet
just look ahead
(trust me to catch up
and when i do
we’ll run together)
neverland
let me take you
to never never land
(i’ll keep it a secret)
pan can fly
(but i’ll take you higher)
you’re my happy thought
let me inside
(i’ll show you a peter
that won’t deny you
what you want most)
then we’ll toast
to how close we’ve come
smoke
I rise as smoke
(through My flames)
in the wind (of Your breath)
I lift myself
toward Your lips
(to sleep in Your lungs)
when You exhale
(I burn again
and search for the wind)
explosions
when I’m with You
I forget
which limbs are mine
You know me better
than I know
how to make me explode
with dynamite touch
and atomic bursts
taken away before We hit the ground
until We’re both dropped
and detonated
in sync
home
My five senses collide
like drunken drivers
drifting along unpaved roads
when I’m inside (You
drive me safely home)
I’m Your passenger
it’s a place I call home
somewhere
(where You are)
opposites
I love You
You use Me
(but I like it)
We both want
You want (I want You)
to get off
I’d rather give
(I get off
when You get)
what You want
so give Me You
(and I’ll use You)
to use Me
