I am-
I am a woman.
A woman, a female
Rough, tough, and smooth.
I am sweet as I sing
Lullaby’s
I will haunt you with mystery,
I will shoot you with a smile
To warm you in the cold of eve.
I am a captain,
A captive of nudity
I dance with my hips,
I kiss with the curve in them
As I layden soft lips to the shore
Of the love I choose.
I am a beach.
I lay with legs and arms stretched
I let the ocean rumble
Betweenthe grains of sand
Seashells and slippery creatures,
I am a mother of waiting.
I am a traveler
A wanderer with pants
Wild, unkempt, and quietly loud
I am dangerous as I weep
Fables,
But strong in my feelings.
I will garnish you with flowers
I will tender you by stars
To show you what you miss
When you run out of time.
I am nothing
Less
Than what I present
I am so much more
Than my heart can afford
I am a woman,
A floating scream
A 5-note streak
A new guitar string
Like The Wind
She collapsed unto the day
A river stream of tangles
Interwoven with a pool beneath
So silent and warm
She collapsed unto the pillows
Streaming with dreams
The rolling curtain like candy to the senses
The moans between the vibratory, like ocean
Her body, like stones in a pond
Her hair like whimsical grass
Dancing in front of her eyes
Blinded by clouds and joyful cries…
Her ears teased by a mellow song
The guitar, the cello
Her thoughts for their roses…
The wind was her skin and mind
FERMENTED
Like dolphins next to ships, we’d play
Jumping to the skies, then back
Clapping our smooth fins, tendering the small fish.
Clinging to something bigger than both of us
Not knowing the boat for the size…
Now like an old,
ripened peach
We’re fermented and heavy—
Drooping from the tree,
Buzzed our loves, feeling dizzy.
Like a day old chronicle
Pages lost in the windy gap,
Preserved in the webs of communication
You and I are missing
But the story’s still been told.
I FEEL IT ALONE
I feel it alone.
So I put it in my feet and waded the tides a little…
It stirred in my vision,
As the clouds clumped into view…
I used my finger to wipe the condensation…
Off the shield I was peeking through.
I feel it alone.
So I put it in my hands - propped my body up
To the fence by the willowing growth of roses
I saw a lady there, purple hair- with a voice like beckong crickets
She sang to me these sad, sweet lyrics,
“I imagined your heart beats in mine
As I kissed the world goodbye
As I hugged all the earth,
Including me and you, eyes and sun ray, Moon and
Clover, ashes too- hugging it all one last time.”
I feel it alone, I feel it still
As I ravage the food down my belly
As I rest my lips on my shoulder
The world is at a distant, I am but a fly
In the wind I’m blowin’ haywire.
But I’ll find you, alone.
I’ll find alone again.
I’ll breathe it alone- I’ll purse my lips
Try to resist- a kiss- blow out
Blow out……
