She stroked the back of his neck, gently,
He took that as a sign to have his way,
And that he did, vigorously,
It's not what she intended,
He amended,
Confusion.

She is there, but not fulfilled,
They are together but not,
He is more than content,
She amended,
Confused.

If they both understood the act,
Love would lay with them,
She gives for acceptance,
He gives for approval,
They both lose.

They continue changing nothing,
Expecting something different,
They lay, they play, they delay,
What awaits them is true light,
What's share is far from that,
They fuse and refuse.

Surely he knows what she needs,
But fears she will leave, and
She knows what he is capable of,
And remains hopeful,
They know all this,
Yet confused.

Fear denies their fusion,
Consumes their intent,
He and she are bent,
Folding their cards,
Telling their lies,
Never knowing.

Until

I want nothing more, 

Than to have all of you,

Half my heart says it'll never be,

The other half can clearly see,

You and me reciting soliloquies.

I'll do much of nothing,

Til I feel you bonded to me,

I'll settle for nothing,

Less than 100 won't do,

I won't move, won't move.

Tell me everything and sweet nothings,

Write a song for me and sing out of key,

It won't matter as long as you're here,

I want nothing more than you,

I'll do much of nothing, until.

As Hard As You

The tears on my cheek are as warm as the words that brought them here,

Each drop is filled with stories of loss love and failed attempts,

They represent a world full of hurt and damage,

I am crying for life.

I heard you when you said you wanted to love, be loved and leave love for others,

I heard you when you said you were giving up hope on finding comfort here,

So you left, but I still hear you wishing out loud and your words banging against steel,

I am crying for your life, the life you never received.

I can still hear you speak words of hope,

I can still see the dreams you depicted,

I can still taste the freedom that you knew existed, somewhere...

I am crying in life, for your life, and unborn joys. 

We let you down and for that, I apologize,

Make sure you look out for those of us still here,

We know not what we do, and even when we do...

We could never love as hard as you.

Black and Blue

We were in a good place,
And my heart remembers the joy,
But now it beats barely and slow, 
It was whole but now it’s pieces,
And they are painted black.

We are in our bedroom,
But my nose detects a third,
I smell their sweat,
They’ve marked your neck,
And painted this room blue.

Be Memorable

Be Memorable!

Most people are hard to remember and easy to forget. Harness your purpose and make an impression on everything in your path. Be memorable!

Forgettable Lovers

Now that we have laid,
I sit on the edge of your bed,
Forgettable and nameless,
I will return. 

You will call me Jessy,
I will deplore it,
But I will ignore it,
We both mean nothing. 

Like dreams in the morning,
You can’t remember,
Well, my name is John,
You lousy motherfucka!
