Domestic Life

Wrap your arms around me

Wrap me up so tight

I've never felt so alone, staring blank into the night

and all I wanted was this domestic life



Keep your eyes upon me

Don't ever look away

I'll live to make you want me, then make you think I'll stray

and all I wanted was this domestic life



Tell me that I'm everything

tell me everyday

let me deny you

disbelieve the words you say



All I ever wanted was to feel o.k.

SoCal

Laying on my backside makes me cringe
the doughy softness felt
shifting, spreading, flattening against the mattress
I sink into myself
disgusted, despised tears burn my eyes.
I've finally found a place to hide.

College

He left his Bud on the nightstand

aluminum continuim

tin remnant

5 cent return, that slips in my pocket

with his brothers nickels and dimes

weighing down my denim

damn him

Hot Water

2:39 showering time

keeps me from dreams

soap and water

soap and water

I wash you out of my hair

Tulips

Your tulips

and

my tulips

I like this flower arrangment.

Playing

Dry callused hands grazed her smoothness
Molding to the curves of her sides
Gently, tenderly he pulled he into the fold of his lap
Sliding his hands

up
And
down her neck

Cooing sweet melodies
Moving over her slow
then faster, harder
no longer thoughfully
selfishly pushing to see what she could do
for him

strum strum strumstrumming
until in one final climax
he broke the string.

Why couldn't I have seen by the way he played?
God, how he played my guitar.

Adonis

You are Adonis
Your golden beauty
My Achilles heel

I'm dark and unmatched
Still you hover above me
The sun unabashed

Some Adonis
To push at my sensibilities
But how you move my sensitivities

My gift is prophecy
A seer who sees reality
Ours is a story that can never be
You Adonis don't belong to me
