Confession
I miss it
the sweet and fuzzy
smiley warmth
the tingle of lips
and purring voice
I miss the lazy
languid buzz
Capt’n Crunch munchies
and a relaxing
little doze.
Once upon a time, I loved the green. The thing is, though? It’s not good for me. It counter acts my anti-depressants, creating a dangerous situation as it’s my anti-depressants that keep the suicidal urges at bay. The hangover… the aftermath effects… it’s not worth it. But, I still miss it. Just sayin’.
The Nuzzle
Just one breath
an inhale made
and suddenly
you
are within me
your scent
your strength
your touch
drawn in deep
a calming balm
on the soul.
Heliotropism
I turn to you
like a flower
to the sun
stretching into
your nurturing
and strength
as you help me
to grow
into a better man.
Thank you for last night, my love. I really needed your help to see things differently. I might still be struggling to fully grasp everything we talked about, but the new perspective has found rich soil in which to grow, I think it just needs some more encouragement in order to flourish.
Four Years Ago
A pretty girl
with speckled fur
and amber eyes
a bright orange butt
and
permabooger nose
stole my heart
and took over
my life.
How did that happen?
Mine
Hot skin
Slow beat
Every breath
a hitch
such heat
make it hurt
make it sting
make it hot
make you scream
I want to make you
soar
Stichomancy
Sacred syllables
and whispered words
pages fanned
to dive right in
for small bits
of wisdom
Lost and found
in a book
Twisting the Leaf
