A Road Love Lullaby 090110

Slide through the light

ignite the hairs

of your underbelly

on my dreaming smile

I'm lost for you.

You are bubble love

pulled taunt

through strings in the air

lengths of my hair

Bass pounding the beaches

of the entire planet.

We will drive them all

Tomorrow

I will breathe fog from my breast

and you will sleep

upon the cold morning ground

The broken salt of sand

a million grains painting

with hazy eyes- distracted

by the drifting of your ocean

I will swim and you will take photographs.

You will drive as I sleep on your shoulder.

I'll feed you the horizon in California

the Earth itself in Oregon

and the stars back home

in Washington.

They will pass

one by two

from my parted hands

through your open mouth

and I will alternate kisses

until your dreams overflow

But you'll never

be full.

1,2oo rolling miles

and my hand will never fill

of yours

for we are the perfect fit.

I never knew I was missing

until your pieces fell with mine

and now- I will only be whole

beside you.

071610

I'll carry on

moon tucked in my ear

sneaking beams through my hair

whistling saw blades peering in

casting haze onto paper trees

of the horizon

There are mountains

beyond the water

secrets in the peaks

sounding warning

of a life

lived too plainly

Lights behind me keeping distance

even as I pull to shore

water written dreams on stones

while the road twisting out from here

is oil canvas

and perfect lighting

I've never seen you so bright before

that night when your tears set the city

on fire.

Final Paragraph In Parenthesis Pt. 1 - 071410

Three years

our unsolicited fortune

Three years

and that was impossible

Three years

preposterous

My only conclusion

was death

and yet-

Our only destruction

could be death-

or love.

We've never been so good at sharing

not really.

I've cut us short.

Short 48 long months.

Unsolicited

Unsought

Unsettling

Unfair.

I'm sorry.

A True Love's Guillotine- 071310

Your face is pure radiance

glinting lights from my limbs

outstretched to play across the face

and break smiles to a hum

A summer whisper

insects fill the water

rustling ripples surround

our metal on the shiver

One quizzical instant

where my heart besought it's power

summoned all ferocity

to explode upon my lungs

I'm slung into the trees

hanging in your eyes

fingers intertwined

your scent inside my veins

Untamed wanting

breathless lips

devouring magnets

slays a smiles inhibition

and breaks again

Lets begin back where we started:

unstoppability stitched

down the hems of our fingers

forever laced with butter.

Relic

I once was the queen

of contradiction

multi-faceted

in every discretion

candy handed

and pure reflection

I was your fleeting fist

your first and final

your rendezvous

on a full moon clock

and yet-

I was the barter fair

flaming flair

unsought abridgment

a brides wine-stained kiss

I was apple sketch

and just slipping

past your corners

through the curtains
