love is a drug no heart can resist.
it comes for you, hungry like an animal.
it turns you into an animal.
it grazes no land greener than your hearts desire.
its hungry, but its satisfied when two hearts collide.
rulerless
its not an easy path,
to feel the pull of your instinct,
and really listen to it.
it can be lonely there,
but trusting yourself is a great act of care,
and you have to follow through.
like a slow wave of heat…
it rises out from inside my belly.
quietly spreading through every vein.
a slow wave of love.
a slow wave of ache.
until it pours out of me.
until it becomes shape and color.
until it dissolves me into the canvas.

When the honey suckle leaves a distaste in my mouth,
I pull away and I open the window.
I gracefully pull closer the likeliness of wellbeing.
I let her in with the sweet smell of a fresh morning after a nights rain.
I greet her with open arms and an open heart.
I’ll openly satisfy her angst with nothing but warmth and attention.
Nothing but love and gratitude.
So bring it to me now, bring it to me before the window is closed again.
looking for the why’s.
I do things for irreplaceable and devoted passion.
I do things with love and righteousness.
I do things with never feeling an ill intention, only light.
I do things because it feeds me.
Makes me wholesome.
I do things to believe again. And trust again.
I hold tight to that feel to nurture it and caress it.
To pull out that good good.
I do things because it’s what my instinct tells me to,
And it’s always whispering the right things.
I do it because I love myself.
I do it, never to be giving up again.
The blues
Swirling in a whirlpool
My eyes can’t close, my eyes won’t fade.
I’m held in your grasp
Begging to gain strength.
I’m caught in a love jones
Separated by twos
Grasping for glory,
Only getting the blues.
I’m swirling. I’m feeling lost.
Mind frame keep me safe
At any cost.
Hold me now.
Give me peace.
Please.
Will you let me come to your light?
Let me breathe in your air,
Create in all your senses,
Let me believe in your space.
Will you?
Be my inspiration.
Let me be your distraction.
Let me make you mine.
Let me unfold.

I have a place for you.
A special place that’s clear and warm and soft and smooth.
It’s waiting for you to come in and grab hold of me.
It breathes water, feeds fire, it nourishes.
It shows my secrets, it keeps your secrets.
It blossoms in the dusk and the dawn.
It feeds the hungry, it caresses all your pawns.
I have a place for you, if you could only show me your face.
Take off that mask and I’d happily show you my place.
We could be happy.
you make me feel alive.
I like to play in the dark deep end just as much as the light.
I test my own depths to make sure I come out alright.
aches
And like the waves fall forward and pull back again,
No matter how far out it goes, no matter the land it can touch,
It will constantly come back wanting to kiss the sand.
Like a sweet salty ocean break, you move me.
