yum

I want to swallow your sunshine smile

love is not math

oh god
how my fingers scrabbled for my heart
(to hold it together?)
when I thought I was losing you
for not a single good goddamn reason

I didn't realize what a single weekend
plus a few hundred kisses
times absolute adoration equaled:
one crazy day
a rollercoaster of emotion
and depserate cravings to be in your arms above all

I'm going to miss you all night
all tomorrow
all this week
and all this weekend

I miss you when I'm not with you

nothing

I hate the slouch you get
when your eyes follow my prancing form
and realize that it doesn't belong to you
never did
and never will
What am I supposed to do?
Drop everything and devote myself to someone
that my entire being pushes away from?
It's not you,
it's not me,
it's not anything.
It never was anything.
We were never anything
no matter how much you wanted it to be.

puzzle

the perfect fit I find in your arms
shocks me each and every time
we lock together

perfect height
perfect fit
I've found my opposing puzzle piece

With me

you are so much better with me
and I think you finally realize it
now the only job left
is to never let you forget it

can I?

now's the time to
let me break your heart
you wanted a teacher
and I will teach you the most important lesson:
don't be naive

unlimited

power is control,
control is leverage,
leverage is knowing something that others don't.
what power do I have with this little secret of mine?

Mistress Miss

I am the mistress
queen of the quick meeting
quick touch
quick kiss
quick love at the drop of a hat
my kingdom is in your arms
arms that, when you release me,
will wrap as possessively around someone else.
I am forever the favourite
and never committed
who you will always come back to
and who you will always leave behind

lamb I am not

don't we all love to struggle
bleating out our reservations
our rationalizations
like the innocent lambs we are
white and pure
we are only stained by our emotions

tradition

teenage girls will forever fall for
the musician in the leather jacket
aren't you just convenient?

trickster

what can I do to make you jealous,
to make you play my favourite game?
can I
have a little bit of that one
sample this one
and curl myself around the one over there?
would that tarnish the silver of your tongue?

phrase II

I can read you like a book
because you're not as deep as you think you are

phrase I

the skeleton in the closet
is my own

alljustagame

dare you to love me
do you care to know who was you before you?

please

cage me in with your arms
turn me from tame to wild
subdue me with a kiss
turn my legs from flesh to water
tighten your grip on my waist
turn the space between us into nothing

againagainagain

I want another late night,
another empty street and
another kiss in the muted light of the streetlights

flattery

luxurious words
will fall from velvet tongues
