Angel Committing Sin

An angel slept

By my side

On the night before

This morning.

I woke him sweetly

By the kiss and caress

Of lips, teeth, and tongue

Upon his neck.

And now his eyes

Are closed again,

Lashes dark

Against his skin,

My sweetest lover,

Between sore thighs,

Whispers prayers

To god and goddess.

The water is warm

And we are worn

From deepest love

Made hours before.

The sun will rise

Over our bruises

With pride,

My angel,

We've just done the winning

Of our new beginning.



Skywriter Storybook

What was lost

Can be found

Where you dropped it

On the ground.

Will I find you?

Meeting you

Was like a morning sunrise,

Blazing in the East,

The sky was tinted pink.

And loving you

Was like the stars at night,

Burning brightly,

Above our heads.

Will you be there,

When i get home,

Where i left you

In your bed?

You are living,

All too brightly,

Where i see you

In my head.

And leaving you

Was like the winter,

Beneath a white sky,

When life is dead.

Missing you

Is like a rainy day,

Melancholy,

But still sweet.

Will you be there,

when i get home,

Where i left you

By the bed?

You are living,

Much too loudly,

Like a song

Stuck in my head.

What was lost

Might be found

Where I'm lying

Left on the ground.

Please let me find you.

It seems I've found you.



To Me

To me you are like nicotine

In the morning,

Like the sky

On clear nights.

Like coffee

On a sunday,

Toking

On a Monday

Or rosewater perfume,

Fresh and sweet,

Soft and

Simple.

There's something

Fresh,

New,

Perfect,

About you.

I know

Forever

Means forever,

But your dictionary

Is new.

I'm not switchin'

With my diction,

I'm just

Tryna prove.

I think I love you.

Like you

Told me

In the

Shower,

And I said

That love is power,

I'm thinking

That I

Think I love you too.


Married in the Desert

They were married in Arizona.

Her feet were bare,

White dress, red sand

Sagebrush in her hair.

The sky was an endless blue,

his hair matched the rocky hues,

the ancient cacti watched,

wisely nodding along as 

vows exchanged.

And nothing changed, for

inside they'd been married

all along.
