On the Rocks

I'll take you on the rocks,
With a side of lime.
Sea salt in your hair,
No concept of time.

That Dream

I am the dream,

you wish to stay in.
That dream you want to fall back into.

Clumsy LA Nights

Do you remember,
When I tripped,
As you swung me around for a kiss?

And the gate swung shut,
Locking you out.

And we laughed,
As we kissed,
And our teeth touched,
Because of our ridiculously clumsy encounter?

Game

This game we play,
It's fascinating.
A tango of sorts,
A friend described it beautifully:
So much desire,
So little communication.
Who holds the cards now?

Heat

Heat in my chest.
On my skin.
Frustration.
Confusion.
But reminders of who I am continue to surface.

Lost Breath

My heart is broken.
I'm trying to pry...
Trying to tear it open...
Just to see if there is still life left inside.

Moments of happiness mistaken for memories? Hopes? Wishes?


Or... maybe I'm just too wrapped up in these wine soaked woes.

I wait...
Tongue dancing behind my teeth as if maybe they could make a sound.
Or hoping that maybe yours dances faster than mine.

Fear of misreading the signs that this lifetime holds.

Expanding lungs.
Sometimes I forget to breathe.

Chained by The Night

Jaw tight,
Eyes peeled,
Can't sleep again.

Shallow breath,
Head aches,
My body's numb again.

Sober, I lie awake
Wondering where you've been.
Need it,
Need you,
But I'm drowning in silence and white noise.

Feeling heavy,
Knowing I hold the power to float...
Trying to tap into it,
But feeling chained.
