Lipstick Casanova Poems

Hey there, it's been a long long time,
Too long, but I've had much to do.
I'm sorry I went awol, ran amuck,
But the truth is, I was running blind
...

Awaken

Sprawled out and branching, my tired body,
Lies heaped atop mattress and sheet,
...

As I look out the window through the quivering trees,
I spy the frozen drip, picketed along barbed wire.
Beyond the crystalline fence, long thorny grass lies
In thousands of messy amber waves, held tight in winter's icy embrace.
...

If words could say,
But for some reason, I can't find them
When you're near,
Everything seems to find a way to kill me.
...

Who said your hands have to be bigger, stronger
Why can't they be smaller, the same size.
Who's to say your lips don't match mine,
I say they're a perfect fit pressed against mine, they fit just fine
...

Twisted and churning, my blood will cease,
My spiked and brittle organ has slown it's pace,
(There's nothing but a dull throb)
Working like sap through my veins,
...

Every word that slips my lips,
Is stated for your benefit.
What if I tell you that what's hidden
Beneath this smile is all a lie?
...
