Kissing Juveniles

Kissing behind sacred walls

Memories of bathroom stalls

Low lit halls and partially done showers

We frequented these escapades when we were young 

Sneaking kisses, back rubs, sharing secrets in the dark

Hiding our well lit love in pure sight 

We were a force to be reckoned

Equally jaded, yet thirsting for one another 

Juvenile love...

Holding hands in back seats 

Kissing under the moon

We've met so many times in darkness 

That our hands had night vision 

Seamlessly paving the way around each other's waists

We kept it PG 

Discussed marriage and possibilities

While causing cracks in our foundation 

Allowing outsiders to dictate the rules we should follow 

Letting them play tug-a-war with our arms

We fought to stay together 

But emotionally never won

I was too consumed of what seemed too good to be true

And you, too afraid to admit your pain

So we fell apart as quickly as we fell together 

Untitled

Blood stained hands
And a belief system
Centered around self-adoration and praise
“Give thanks to me and I’ll set you free”
That’s how you get them

Manipulating your followers
Into supporting your twisted vices
Molesting the youth
With your power
While dangling God from your tongue
The main one’s to look out for are those like you

Seducing congregation’s thought-lives
With your rituals
Fondling with their earnings
Only to satisfy the protection of your secrets

For your private demonstrations
Are nothing but means “to get off”
You ask them…
“show me how you did it…”
“show me how you do it…”
And all is forgiven
All the while fondling innocence
Behind smoke & mirrors
And scented incense
Your tracks are camouflaged
And your lies are sealed…

Even if anyone was to come forth
I wonder how many would see 

The light again…

Cupid

She aims to kill

With weapons of mass destruction

She's a steady shooter with perfect aim

Hearts line up just to be shot down

Drives the crowd insane

When they watch her

Elbow angled and feet apart

And off another arrow goes

Into another chest

Crashing threw the the rib cage

Directly into the heart

And she speaks 

For the first time 

She says

Because this person does not die

But rips the arrow out

"Is it you?"

She asks

The person answers back

"If you have to ask..."

And walks away 

She picked up her arrow again

Used all of her might

Knocked down the person that walked away 

And said "It's you..."

And the person answered back "it's always been me"

For the first time

She realized 

The potency of her weapons 

Were no match 

When it 

Came to them

Her defenses were defenseless

Finally she, was open to receive...

Musings

I admitted to boredom
And then she wept
I asked why
And
She reminded me
Beat by beat
That I never
Used to be able
To experience boredom


She reminded me
That I’ve grown silent
My words now evaporate like snow in humidity
Like ice melts on summer day…
Almost nonexistent


In hopes to rehabilitate
And awaken me…


SHE
Grabbed a pen
And told me to write
And in that moment
I remembered why…
Her love could close wounds
Open doors
Awaken souls
And drive away evil forces…
I remembered why her touch was of God
Her stamina out of this world…


She’s the Cause & the Cure
Funny how she can see into ME
Yet within herself… She’s baffled by that lack of recognition…


We all NEED that LOVE
That can see all of YOU
To help you REBUILD
…

(I’m searching for a way to wrap this up… To Be Continued, at least I started)

Bleeding Heart

I heard what your lips were saying 

But your eyes spoke louder

Screaming eyes 

Shouting at the top of their lungs

Forcing me to see

Beyond the words

The samples 

The stories

It was your eyes that told the truth 

The pain within was deeper than mere flesh

For these stabs 

Had dug so deep that your heart was bleeding

Spilling out of your eyes like rain drops

I'm listening 

I can hear you 

Never have you been this vulnerable 

Letting me in and undressing your love

Removing guards only for a moment 

I could see you

The person hiding behind the love for others

The care of tending to others needs 

I saw your bleeding heart exposed 

How ignorant I must have been 

To not see all of this before 

But how was I supposed to know

Never did you let me this close

And as soon as I took notice 

The walls were rebuilt

Thicker than street pavement 

Placed behind barbed wire

And a crooked smile...

If only you'd lend me your eyes again 

And we could work on your smile again 

Not the one on your face 

But the one in your heart 

Reassemble the broken pieces 

And restore you from the ruins...

If only...

If only...

I could see you again 

Social Network

Naked and abused

Going nowhere fast

A picture a day

Giving Instagram your last 

Signing your soul away

For pay per day 

Shaking your assets

For dividends 

Calling everyone your best friend 

Every "like" makes you feel closer

But just not close enough 

And no one 

Quite knows 

What you're searching for 

Commenting on your beauty 

Even when your smile is broken

Your eyes are puffy 

And your face is red

But just a few filters deep

And there you find it 

Buried deep

Deeper than you ever imagined 

Your self esteem

Lost in a hopeless upload 

Searching for love and acceptance 

Hoping everyday 

That maybe...

...just maybe 

This virtual world 

Will unfold

Birth tangible lovers

Dangle them from strings

Allowing you to pick them off as you please 

Yet the day never comes 

And more clothes come off 

With every upload 

Queen (To Be Continued)

I can't say why your eyes pierce into my soul 

Or why my heart flutters when you speak

Even if my words don't marry my actions 

My inner being is easily excited by your presence

I may not love the way I anger you

Or how sad I've seen you get

But the smile and gazes you give

I can't fathom a Queen more radiant 

No one has ever held my attention the way you have 

Even glancing at others is a bore 

To stare at you 

Or feel your touch 

Takes me to highs I can't explain
