distance

whisper
in my ear
tell me
what you want
imagine
how I feel

your skin
makes me
cry out loud
your soft touch
soothes
saving me

unafraid

hungry

finally feeling

seeking redemption

so far away...and closer every day

collision

hush
baby...
kiss
my lips
taste
our breaking dawn

defying
the odds
no past
to reconcile
life laid out ahead of us

we are
inexplicable
a beautiful accident
like waking up
in the eye of...the perfect storm

evolution
no hesitation
growing symbiotic
searching for our sunrise
at last...

we are one

what I know

touching...lightly
a ballerina's silken slipper
on an ancient, worn wooden floor
hands gliding across your skin
soft, smooth, delicate and quaking

moving through time
never in a straight line
don't leave me lying here alone
I still feel your touch, like hot wax
running down the side of my soul

I feel you take me
under the weight of y(our) love
god damn the life we've lived
tortured and repaired by our love
flying over it all with broken wings

your touch...healing and forgiving
I feel the rust on my love fall away
stolen hearts and purloined kisses
memories of pain caused (and endured)
I know...you are where I am meant to be

crystalline

vision

crystal clear

wandering through dreams of you
water running clear
like reflections
of the devil you thought you knew

perfect circle
poison in, beauty out
mind made up
no risk, no reward
conventional wisdom
out the window (SO out the window)

eyes locked
on a prize
(you've come to take me away)
that yesterday
didn't exist
at least not the yesterday I was living...

dodging madness
life's ever flickering light
leaping in and out
walking away
ready for the change
exposing life's sleight of hand

eyes closed

hot breath
back of my neck
fingers tracing
a lazy path
down

whispers
reverberate
hair standing on end
skin tingling
electricity

I fight...futilely
hands searching
unseen
landslide of tactile
sensation

touch me
(please)
release me
(please)
take me to that place
(please)
open...
my eyes

right now

mental
friction
causing heat
frenzied touch
agonizing in it's urgency
dizzy and punch drunk
reeling from the rush of blood
wanting nothing (nothing) more than you
right
now
days of grace long gone
I take you down
tasting your soul
body convulsing
beautifully
perfectly
melting
like a candle
on the window sill
at every kiss
cover my mouth
to muffle a scream
tongues tangled
bodies
crashing
unable to speak
connected
collapsing
wrecked
dreaming
in your arms
