**I Am

Like closing my eyes and taking in surroundings
Falling into lacey arms
Disarmed in the TV shadows
Blue lights and monotonous drones of DVD
Tasting tomatoes on razor beard hairs
Cutting out red tinged blush on my face
In this place I am locked out of reason
Reasoning that you could be inside me
As static graces screen in
Shut down grey
I say, “I love you”
As I do
Cradled inside tender touch
Exciting motions as you try for a single moan
I am drawn out and adorned
Cast in yellow and red
Undressed in fluid motions
Emotion flowing out like shaken carbonation
I trace out features
De-saturated jaw-lines
The beauty in your closed eyes
The feed in your flesh rise
I am

**If I Could Take You Into Me

Inside the dance of night time stars
Decorating the skies in grease white chalk lines
Inside my mind, they wash out and wrinkle down the steps
A song of tragedy plays too sweetly
Yet, I could take the tune and take you into me
Like a submission for you fear so greatly
In the decorated lives of a soldier’s memory
It’s wartime in the city
And god if I could fit you somewhere inside of me
I’d know that I’d be happily in tune
If I could come too soon when you’re inside of me
To simply understand this holding on is holding on is holding on
Until my bleeding flesh grasps the fibers
Of tiny human faces in places I’ll never be
You see
A rope of choices around your neck
Is the rope of you around mine
In the extinguished flames of rage that pass
My jumper cables cut into you
To charge a single moment of feeling
That burns up in a flash
So rapid
Like the pieces of my puzzle
That hit the floor in slow motion light
You are left flickering before me
A pattern of a thousand eyes staring down
Freezing up the room in the disturbance
A pale concentration
Reminding me of the impurities of what I do
I wish I could touch you and not lose my form
A substantial glare of an image
A time we were so uselessly serine
I grasp so tightly in my hand
Willing you to pour yourself into me
With tears that write songs
Of murderous cells that dance in the crimson waves
Like sultry bedroom eyes in a quaint disguise
In hiding
I stare at this ring so long I begin to grow blind
Until I realize in time
It was a dream of dreaming of dreaming I was dreaming
And screaming out your name with impossibility tied upon me
I’m growing dry staring at my reflection
I reach in and shake my hand
I understand your plight, my friend
It’s the messages you send
Of keeping yourself behind defenses
In the colors of the motion
In the ocean
Crawling along the sandy floor searching for a tiny reminder
Kinder people wearing masks of security
Making humor to peel away the danger
And If I could take you into me
I think you’d understand
How much I need to close my eyes
To pretend
To disguise this fragile face of me
If I could take you into me

About this poem:
I wrote this poem and many others during a time when I was involved with a man who had some commitment problems. He lived with me for a year and then decided to move out while continuing a relationship with me. I went through a lot of emotional turmoil and found solace in writing these poems and performing in open mic poetry readings around town. Oddly enough, that is where I met my husband a couple of years later.

The poem is somewhat s*xual, but the underlying meaning is that I wanted that man to understand me. I wanted him to "be inside" of me to understand how I felt.

Through the Dark

I embrace my image and the world about me.
There are so many things that I can see.
Life gives me the freedom to sing my song,
and if you want, you can dance along.

The world is my home and the stars give light
and guide my quest to be brave and bright.
I will lead the way for others to follow
so that this day indeed, may not be hollow.

Please grasp my hand and join my delight.
The two of us will talk through the night.
Tomorrow will bring a plan for peace
and you and I will cause fighting to cease.

I Love You

I love you more than I can say,
but know my heart is your heart.
Know I'll want you until the
flowers are no more.
Until the mountains don't have
their majestic beauty.
Until the sun doesn't rise in His presence.
Being together means we are as one.
Being with you means my
days are bright and filled with
laughter; love; goodness and bliss.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart
for being the special way you are.

The Dancer

You are too good of a dancer for me
The world’s spinning fast, cant you see
We have lied for so long, it’s become our truth
It’s time to be strong; that much is true

His Heart is Good, His Words are True

His heart is good, his words are true
He never hurts or stumbles
And he has given me the world
In spite of all my failings

He taught me all I knew
About this strange life in a foreign land
And as I failed as I so often do,
He always lent a helping hand
I only hope my sins will be forgiven
My frailty, humanity forgotten

Secret Lovers

It began one night with a tender kiss
that surprised both her and him.
The moon was full, the stars were out
the candlelight was dim.
They kissed once more, just like before
and what they feared, they both ignored.
You see, their love was not to be
because their friends would disagree
So lest their romance be discovered
they departed
secret lovers.

It was a secret, none could know
so for a week they stayed apart.
Yet they missed each other badly
Twas a weight upon their hearts.
So in the night they met once more.
New sorts of pleasures they did explore.
His touch was kind, they intertwined
and became one in body and in mind.
Then once their strength they had recovered
they departed
secret lovers.

Then trouble came for the two lovers,
their friends knew something was amiss.
None knew how, but it would seem
that somebody had seen them kiss.
He did not stall, he told them all,
and their friends this did appall.
They kept them away,
and to their dismay,
with their secret now uncovered
they departed
secret lovers.

Now they dream of one another,
dream of being again together.
Another day, another place,
they don't know where or when.
Blessed they were with love sublime.
They'll reunite another time,
and on that day they'll rediscover
what it was like to be
secret lovers.
