a wedding song (non-traditional)
like honey dripped from a cherry
to your tongue you bring a
sweetness to the world that I
have never tasted before
you twist and turn with every
drip of lust wrenched from
your lips as you spin like a
dervish in celebration and
anticipation of our nuptials
come here to me and let
me lift the veil, we know
better than the flowing
pearlescent frock you wear,
which we will enforce
as soon as I can get you alone
for now we’ll tow the
traditional line, if I can keep
myself away, on this altar,
vows said, you have kissed
me to attention and I am
prepared to march on
that alabaster keep

answers
“she is so worth it”
an answer i give myself
if ever i find i am
in need of an answer
“she is so worth it”
an answer i give myself
if ever i wonder
why i came all this way
“you deserve it”
an answer i would give to you
if you should ask me
why i love you
you deserve to be loved,
you deserve to be held,
you deserve to be cherished
you deserve to be free…
from pain,
from loneliness,
to soar without fear
you deserve to be original
and be accepted for that
“i love you”
an answer i give you
whenever you say
“you’re a fool”
“i love you”
you don’t have to say anything
i will repeat it
until the end of time

there can never come a time
when you are too much for me
there will never be a day
that will mean more to me
than the time i have spent with you
there has never been a place
as soft, and gentle and precious
as the one i have for you
in my heart
there is nothing as sweet and delicious
as the taste of you on my lips
there is no other place i’d rather be
than caught locked in your stare
with the look of forever
in your eyes
there is nothing more perfect
than holding you in my arms
while the sun dips quietly into the sea

a glimpse of smoke
you’re there and not
a glimpse of smoke
hides you in sight
return to where
you don’t exist
my eyes deceive
me of your presence
flash of neurons
twitch out of view
as soon as i see
you’re not there
light draws scrutiny
lost right away
one bat of the eye
you fly astray

a kiss
if if were real
and i could hold it in your hand
that would be a blessing
for my reality
when you become actual
a little at a time
i can kiss tiny pieces
until you are whole
as time draws circles
around our embrace
slowly tightening it’s grasp,
i rejoice amidst the pressure
squeezing us into one
when when has space
enough to breathe
i inhale deeply
filling my entire being
with you
now is then
when we first were we
fighting through a wave
for something
we might have known
would set us on a path
to somewhere
we still exist
i stay awake all week
dreaming of you
and when we finally meet
those words
that changed our course
forever
a kiss

constant something
constant something
is what i’m chasing
constant sun glaring off the cracked window
constant birds squeaking at each other
constant click of my fingers on these keys
constant hand on my hand, pulling me into life
constant hum of your breath, my favorite song
constant kisses under starlight, under the covers
constant you and me spending every moment together
constant something i can count on
constant something that makes me free
of
constant wish
constant hope
constant longing
constant grief
constant reality of what is
constantly me

a glint of red
a glint of red moving across my mind,
want to chase it to see what it means,
but i don’t, my curiosity is strapped to
this rock of guilt and restraint, do you
remember what happened last time?
i am stuck in the muck that i exude,
it keeps me here, where i am safe
from things that only i can see or hear
you in your red coat stop by from time
to time, you tell me how busy your life is
without asking about mine, with the assumption
that it is an excuse for why i don’t see you
that often and that my silence is an
endorsement of how small my life is

monochrome mood
the caustic drip enters me
an attempt to heal
those hours
i give over to hope
i give over to you
an attempt to shield
seeking rose golden smiles,
a rainbow wink,
to banish my
monochrome mood

4/4 time
i sing these old songs
as if you will hear them
as if you will understand
i am singing them for you
how am i supposed to
expect anything else
i have been putting myself
into song since
the beginning of 4/4 time
