Ribbons

Ribbons on wrists
Stronger then wire
Feeding my ecstasy
Bringing me higher
More than gravity
Holding me down
Put in my place
With a smile or a frown
You hold the power
Over my soul
Fulfilling my body
Making me whole

Healing Kisses

Healing begins with a kiss
Such a kiss can only fan the flames
Don't blame me if I shudder under your touch
It doesn't take much to take me higher
The fire grows deadly but I don't care
Share with me Healing Kisses
Who cares if our bliss is seditious

Eternal Struggle

Eternal Struggle

Eternal struggle

Between beloved and friend

Who wins out in the end?

Should there be a winner?

Why is it a contest?

Can we love equally?

When friend becomes beloved

There is the perfect solution

Since that only happens

In fairy tales and books

We must always expect

To be second place

And if we are moved higher

We should be gracious

Mud Doesn't Become you...

Never meant to be

For fiction fails us now

There are no fairy tale princes

No midnight rides

No pumpkin carriages

All there is

The here and now

Crashing notes of reality

Burdens of normality

Pain and regret

Tempered by the fact

That at least

I’m not dragging you

Down with me

For as much as you

Would raise me higher than I’ve ever been

I come from the gutters

People tend to get trapped here

I wouldn’t want you caught

Mud doesn’t become you

Extinguished

Kiss me a thousand times

Let me feel your lips against mine

Hold me gently

Brush my hair back

With your elegant fingers

Light my way into the night

Spiraling even higher

Soaring on gossamer wings

Pulled into ecstasy

Burning with passion

Then

Extinguished

Non- Lymericks

I once thought my love walked on air

But our relationship was going nowhere

Our flame burned much higher

When fueled by desire

We couldn’t stand our souls laid bare

Sorrow is grief born on wings

Like an arrow, it pierces and stings,

But time soon will heal

You’ll begin to feel

Your heart will begin to sing

An Ember Burns Higher Then Flames Prodded Higher

A spark lights the way

It glows like a fay

It burns higher and faster

Leading quickly to disaster

You must prove who is the master

Or else you will pay

So as the fire you lay

Remember that they they say

As the fire blows past her

An ember burns longer then flames prodded higher

Keep this mindful, don’t delay

Whatever else you say

It must be held fast or

It spells true disaster

Because it’s true what they say

An ember burns longer then flames prodded higher
