Dressed like Saturn,
Girdled by those cosmic belts
She asks me, darling,
What's your favorite planet?
Maybe I care too much
Maybe I need more
Down time
True boundaries
That I can’t see
With my bare eyes
Thrive on dreams
Thrive on strings
A heart to heart
A fact of life
summer fireworks
of my heart
makes me wonder
challenging
romantic
running wild
coloring outside the line
brings new sensation
smooth electricity
up your spine
If I could find
a soft spot
a special place
that haunts my dreams
I could fly
without net
without strings
with you
without you
If I could take
a new allure
I will make love
with the Ocean
in front of your eyes
on the edge
of the fine line
with my mind open
and eyes closed
wet sand in my hair
the sense of sea fizz
tonight, just tonight
I might seduce you
like you seduced me
a while ago
when you touched
my deepest desires
deep strings of my fire
and am I still looking for
a sensible thing
I'll be a muse
of your fantasy
and trance
in a vision
you daydream
contemplate
your life
just stare
into space
it’s your dream

I'll be darkness
starless
and dark
like a tragic soul
you hide away
shine
in a twilight
just for me
lights and darks
it’s new bright night
I'll be quiet
seductive
and sweet
like a dream
you forgot
run
run away
just go
with the flow
it’s silence

Look at the clear bright sky tonight
Moon and the Stars above your head
If you wait long enough
You will see a bright light of the lost Perseidas
Shooting stars might show me your face
Invisible wounds from past
Haunt me through the night
In a secret cave of pain
I still feel the fire
Of our last slow dance
Swimming in circles
In the endless feeling
Of my false dreams
ALICE’S SONG
Be my sweet Mad Hatter
And I’ll be
Alice of your dreams
In red raw silk
And soft black velvet
Every time
When
This is impossible
There are red rose petals on the bed.
But they do not symbolize romance.
They symbolize the blood that runs
Through my veins.
They have been singled out and ostracized,
I want to
curl up by the fire with you on cold nights
run my fingers through your hair
eat chinese takeout and drink cheap wine at 3am
kiss hello and goodbye and just because
be completely infatuated with you
I would
dance with you
wash your dishes
lay my head on your lap
or read over your shoulder
I would
make you coffee
listen to you talk
for hours and hours
I would like to see you
Sprawled on the couch
Or cooking dinner
Dancing in the living room
To old records
I would like to see you
Singing along to your favorite songs
In the shower or
He stared at her,
Fireworks lighting up her face
The wonder in her eyes
Was enough,
And he was whole.
****
She stared at him
Shyly between bursts
I sit and stare at you
And ponder upon your beauty.
Wondering if you find me beautiful?
Wondering if you realize how handsome you are?
I sit and peer into you.
Wanting to see deep into your soul.
for all the night drives and moonlit stares we shared.
those songs we listened to together are hard to listen to alone.
we listened to them so loud that the music's vibrations,
What happened?
It wasn't meant to be, I guess.
I met someone.
You met someone.
Someone met us more than halfway,
Half dressed.
You came with Christmas presents
On Valentine's Day,
I didn't love you normally,
I love you,
Like I am an artist that for you
Can only draw a smiley face in fogged up glass
I love you like cheesy romance movies and rainy days.
He was awkward and clumsy
And rather shy
But there was beauty in his honesty when he was stuttering
And there was sweetness in his inherent need
To ask permission for everything he did
It was a little sad
