the lights are dimming, everyone shush

the light cast Hollywood
an arty film played in the shadows
walls from screens and real life for a projector

I can be so demanding

I wanted to be angular
but now I just want you to keep making a mess of me

It's just a day

oh come now
don't be such a sweetheart
you know candy will make me fat

Spring Symphony in E flat major

birds singing in the morning

snuggled into naked branches

no humility

snow white’s long gone

the ending left unhappy

Thunderstorms and power outages

when I love you is a rumble in your throat
that hums against my cheek
I'm where I want to be

But you fixed that with a kiss

when the music came on
and you turned back to look at me,
put your hand across my cheek
it felt like Hollywood
and I wasn't ready for the sex scene

Absence makes the heart wander. It's a proven fact.

I want to kick and scream
pierce the soft cocoon of love
that your silk words are weaving around me.
As time passes,
I slip farther into the quicksand of the clock,
not knowing if I can trust your arm
to pull when the last grain nestles into my hair.
Is the heavy weight on my finger
a loving reminder and promise
or just enough to to keep me down?

You'd have the sweetest sense of shame if you knew what shame was

the only shame I see
is brief on your face
because you always turn away
do you know what you did to me?
