Half Past

soft and pliable is my nature
my bones a sticky goo
skin overly sensitive
weak are my muscles and mind
...

many years they walked hand in hand

they stood strong side by side
...

The Tree

once just an acorn on the ground many years ago
the smallest of acorns had a dream of a life not yet fulfilled
...

oh Twinkie you are my friend
you are always there until the end
creamy filled goodness thru the night
my sponge cake, loving, happy delight
...

I witnessed her without her armor
I witnessed her as she was before the day was started
I witnessed her curls of hair before she straightened them
I watched her cry as others spoke out against her
...

the small boy walked down the road

smug and sad carrying a heavy load
...

Sock and Toes

One fine day sock and toes were sitting around
when sock said to toes there is some information
...

She stood in front of the mirror for her reflection to see

'mirror mirror' was her crying plea
...

...

six more feet is all he thought
six more long hard feet
six more feet to the finish line
in mere moments it would all be over
...

rustling wind and whispers in my ear
she always leans in to tell me things
that no one else should hear
whispers on my mind
...

she is trembling with every breath
her sobbing is racking her body uncontrollably
she cries out as she can't take the hurt anymore
tears stream down her face unfettered
...

every time i dream of chocolate -covered delight
i smell and taste all the flavors in the middle of the night
caramel, vanilla, raspberries and cream
all the flavors of you are what i dream...
...

salt flavored sweat filled tears
finger nails cracked and dirty from digging down
ripped scratched flesh
struggling against the weight of my arms
...

chains of doubt
shackled to this life
weighed down with guilt
buried with strife
...

sexed up
lathered in your scent
sweat dripping off your chest
nipples erect on your breast
...

I wake up before you every morning
just to catch a glimpse.. of the sunlight
as it soaks your body in all its glory
I watch the way the light and shadow
...

i paid for a ticket to witness tricks for a fee

saw a body in half for applause and wicked glee
...

A tree hovering over a placid pool
branches swaying and caressing the water
tracing faint etches of silver through the glistening
canvas of liquid...
...

she carried the words upon her lips
as he turned and walked away...
she couldn't force them out nor let them slip
those three words she wanted to say...
...
