You On

nails dig in
sharp intake of breath
fire in my eyes
could consume you
for what you do

you slay me
one big hand for my two
slick skin on skin
relax and contract
rippling second act

deep sounds pound
heart beats in my chest
exhale in my ear
surrender captive time
to rhythms of our rhyme

see exotic seas
we’re beneath the water
taste of salt
releasing grips
neck to your lips

I’m wearing you
nature’s perfume adorned
sweet vessel keeps you
hot smell of our play
again... again til day

Eyes lock and it starts
Quick knife to flint
Smiles, introduction
Smooth skin touches skin

Around the periphery
Crackle, simmer, burn
Sparks could be caught
Glow in palms upturned

Swaying vortex of us
I’m not prepared
Can’t hold on or let go
Lost my feet somewhere 

Every slight touch
Ripples of throbbing light
Cacophony of yes more
Desire mirrored bright

Ah!  Hearts crashing
Open doors, fools rush in
Who cares what or when 
Fiery impetuous grins

Encapsuled together
Distant salvo explodes
Fan 'til we're set aflame
Let's see where this goes

#4. Your schedule makes you dumber.

Force yourself outside of your daily schedule. Be curious and take time to learn about worlds outside of the one you live in. Watch the news, read the paper, educate yourself. Don’t be afraid to call people you don’t know, start a conversation, and ask for things you need. At the very least, you’ll be more interesting. At the most, you’ll take your business in new and bigger directions.

Writing is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as the headlights, but you make the whole trip that way. -E.L. Doctorow, writer (b. 1931)

CEMENT 

As apple trees bloom in the orchard
A desire to run
Backing up slowly
Capable of freedom
Her eyes lay hold of the distance
Deep concentration

As echoes muffled by mist
Each heartbeat heard
Felt down, up and out
Gnawing to the surface
Her insides test tensions
Heavy and also light

As heat sifts the chill 
Hearth of life
Icy tendrils melting through
Jar of hearts tumbles and falls
Her love combusts alive
Keeping time in turn

As lakes shimmer in wind
Losing serenity 
Motivated and vegete
Narrow inlet of liquid
Her palate of sediment
Only to release and clean

As a predator stalking prey
Patience defined
Hunger quenching hope 
Returning death to life
Her turning, leaving, escaping
Simply not an option

As twigs onthe... more »

Beyond

Stepping over and on their bodies
Piercing hearts with her stiletto
All these suitors to whom she said no

It felt good to have them fall
They reached out for an embrace
Losing their balance, she stroked each face

Souls spinning toward the earth
With a featherweight descent
Her countenance peaceful and content

Cradled in friendship or immaturity
She let them lie there with her hands clean
Her heart remaining lonely but serene

To the end she stoically traversed
Through her hall of fallen souls
Demons of past, as angels extolled

Hollow meaning folds in on itself
She sets her eyes to the goal ahead
There, a man who stands in their stead

Knowing nothing of uncertainty
His stance does not waver
Having every capacity to save her

The knight to his sweet... more »

Sometimes it’s difficult to see
where the sky and the earth meet.

See the palm of the world
vulnerable and upturned.

Cells structured together
partitioned to now convene.

Once, twice, thrice
we’ve lived as many things.

Even through ice, wind, and snow
gathering to thrive - we grow.

A kiss; your lips to mine
separate intensity gathered to collide.

See the end of times
unsure where existence began.

Ideas hold no merit
until they are effected by hands.

Cratered and marked
a moon blemish holds stories.

Love’s unsurpassed power
exposes the universe’s single fallacy.

See the five seconds 
passed ‘til my heart fell at last.

I was just thinking about how relatively easy it is to reinvent oneself.  I'm surprised at it.  If somebody told me a year ago that I would be where I am today, I wouldn't have believed them.

Who would you tell to "Eat dirt and die" if you could? I know you wouldn't really mean it - but if you could just say it to somebody who would it be?

For me it would be the guy who said "It's not you it's me." lol Or! Maybe my mom!

I was alone. Then I was with you - alone still.
I was dying. Then I was dying each day - with you.
You brought light. I hoped for bright days - click, dark.
You made me beautiful. Now I'm beautiful - without you.
You had passion. Passion for her ghost - not life.
I heard you. You longed to live, to grasp what I had - you failed.
I'm done crying. Dry tears in my desert heart - done lying.
I am stuck. Because I want to be - you would know.
I'm letting go. Bit by agonizing bit - slow healing.

Hey friends! I made it into the first phase of the Maurice's Model Search! I'm one of about 1500 but if I get enough votes to make the top 100 then I get to the next phase. The winner gets $7500 donated to a charity of their choice! Not to mention a fun experience of a lifetime! :) Hope you can take the time to vote for me!

Hey guys! I'm going "Bald for Bucks!" Don't worry - I won't really be bald - I'll have almost a quarter inch of hair left. :)

Please help support me and the Sweet Home School District Team by donating today. I only have two weeks to make a difference for this one, so please please please don't hesitate to make a difference with me!

Peace!

I love how Adele credits her 21 album to a "rubbish relationship." It's amazing how a relationship that's bad for you can result in such powerful emotions to result in songs such as those Adele produced. I can totally relate. See - there is beauty in the pain. Adele's 21 - proof positive.

I love today's word of the day:

dionysian

(dy-uh-NISH-uhn, -NIS-ee-uhn)

adjective: uninhibited; undisciplined; spontaneous; wild; orgiastic.

Here - I'll use it in a sentence: MAY YOU HAVE A DELICIOUSLY DIONYSIAN VALENTINE'S! :)

Third Eye

Peel thick layers away.
They dull and dim what's real.
Forehead now smooth and silken.
You can see clairvoyantly.
Time has no hold.
Ideas grow more bold.
Soon there is only reality
Beyond just you.

Tip-toe, grab a ribbon.
It's tied to the universe!
Let go of thoughts and boundaries.
Inspiration overcomes timidity.
Feel in everything.
Release voices to sing.
Unravel all existance.
Grace walking true.

"There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with." - Harry Crews, novelist and playwright (b. 1935)

"The tiny flame that lights up the human heart is like a blazing torch that comes down from heaven to light up the paths of mankind. For in one soul are contained the hopes and feelings of all Mankind."
-Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)
