No Words

The language

This dialect

These words

You cannot understand

My love language- you love

I’m being used

to heal your love and reignite the firey lover in your heart

You do not comprehend this

My love

When I fall

I crash

Melt down

Lie in agony of amor

You hold me against your chest

Tight enough to trace my breath to exhale

Close enough to feel the beat of my heart

“You are the kind of woman I need right now..

Affectionate…powerful… you need no one”

My love- I have no words

You are smooth to the touch,

smooth by the word,

freckled and tattooed

In your beautiful room

I can see the passionate remnants

This is the debris of love

After the fatal crash of the relationship

Between you and your woman

I wish you were mine,

But I can only smell the decomposing flesh

Of your love gone wrong

Hearts died in this room

Between the same four walls you wanted me

To kiss me, hold me,

and whisper erotic words between

I speak words you cannot understand

This language has undergone an evolution

gone through battles, defeats, and victories

In my book of love, it has been written already

The translation is available in a world you’ll never touch

Those eyes touch me as you stare in bewilderment

And mine back into yours

Wondering how I ended up in the arms of a fearful Wildman

This book tells me you can never be mine

In our story I was your heroine

The woman who saved your romantic-side

Who ran by your side in the mission to prevent

The lover in your heart from committing suicide

Tonight we lay in a bed of ruins

We shall both emerge stronger,

But not champions because we still want each other

As we last embrace in comfort

It is all being written

-For AK

For You

I would erase them from my mind

FOR YOU

Highlight all the pain and experiences

And then, press delete

FOR YOU

I'd like to get a remote for all my love

press restart and start it all over

Hold your hand smoothly like mine has never been so burned

FOR YOU

I want to forget that I was conceived in a bed of chaos

And lose my sick craving for men with screws loose and endless tattoos

FOR YOU

I will fight to bury my twisters and tornados into my imagination

Where they can only destroy fictional characters I write about

FOR YOU

Ill stop running like a wild woman

Surrender from hiding

among the thick green vegetation

Into your arms dressed

in camouflage and war paint

FOR YOU

I won’t be such a cynic

I won’t compare you to the rest

I won’t try to apologize for being me

FOR YOU

I’ll hold your hand and believe,

Plant my feet in the ground,
Take a deep breath,
Let them sink and stay a while

I remember when I saw you for the first time....

I heard you move across the floor
Dancing.
You made such a violent sport
Look elegant, sexy,
Beautiful-ly
you floated past me
our eyes locked
From the floor
Laying on the ground my eyes flew towards yours
Colliding stars
giggling like children
from other worlds
playing in a deep, dark universe
Our adult selves just starred
eyes striking
jab for jab
just a glimpse
a foreshadowing
a precursor
a metaphysical spark

Months later we danced
in a deep, creamy white sky
Undercovers
laughing together
swimming forever in each others eyes
as if they were solar systems
unexplored
you were mine
for just that time
an expedition
a starry escape
a dream

Your lips spilled:
"I remember when I saw you for the
first time. You looked
at me with those 'fuck me' eyes"
Your words
struck me
The explosion
It was the salsa
Your lips,
My tongue
our electric twists and turns
the verification that I wasn't alone
that first time
the tangling of two
lost hearts
was a celestial reality

Strength of a Crowned Woman

Sparkly sparks gloss over our tequila kisses
It rained into our locked hands
My hand held slippery-perfect in yours

You let me,
let you,
kiss me
and me kiss you

You hid your darkness
Underneath your inquisitive words
Wrapped me in compliments
Like a blindfold
A sexy blackout
Leading to pleasures in the dark
We held each other


As if this was our last night-perhaps it was

You washed my sins away
In a steamy shower
In your arms
I was a goddess- perhaps I am still

You believe me a warrior
You see that I AM a woman with a crown
You say I can stand beside powerful men
As their equal- perhaps you're right



Strength is my strength
You surrendered your weaknesses
Handed me your brokenness
Into my solid palm

We see eye to eye
You cannot be mine
Nor me yours
It is time to part- my sweet heart

I watch you dance off
into the darkness
Into your black night
I wish you comfort
To heal your wounds
To find your heart

Burn the Body

L…O….V…..E

They spoke your name in vain

Against your truths

Dabbled in your book

Followed your practices

And ran away with great powers

Knowing your mechanics- love

Fleeing fast with the ability to manipulate hearts

I turned off my heart:

                  Played dead

Felt them standing over me

Muttering evil lines-

The words are satanic

Verses of knives

Writing wounds that do not heal

I convulsed and spat them out

It is too late

Standing tall as dark pillars,

in their black capes they grinned

beneath blurred faces unbeknownst to me

Church bells are ringing somewhere deep down inside

They are feint, but present

They’ve taken everything that’s left

And there’s just one thing left to do:

                  Burn the body

A Curse and a Kiss

They’ve all changed me

The sweet-talkers, the liars,

the romantics, the sex-gods,

the inconsiderate, the womanizers

She's gone into the darkest yesterday

The dreams have dissipated

The fantasies have dried up

It’s a hot desert

Filled with dancing women and tattooed men

I don't want a flowery, rhyme-y fairytale

I want a dirty, mess of a nonfiction

Baby…

That word makes you nervous

Makes you think I have too much power

And baby I have more than you can ever imagine

Tell me baby:

The juicy dramas you foresee,

That your ex will show up at our doorstep

That you'll make me cry

That we won't always be satisfied

Sexually

Romantically

We’ll fall off and loose interest

You’ll lie from time to time

But soon apologize

and I'll forgive you because it won't be betrayal

It will be a firestorm and a cool breeze

It will be a rainstorm and a rainbow

It will be a curse and a kiss

Free

The forest is thick beyond the cliff that I look down 

My hands are free 

I am a powerful warrior woman

I stand with scraped forearms and knees 

A little scared 

A little bruised 

Clutching my machete 

I look down at my bruised thigh that peeks from the hole in my ripped jeans

The voices in my head are often evil 

They are transplants from the mouths of heartless mortals

I can feel it when my heart beats in a time like this

I have survived the battles 

I have arrived at this peaceful vision of foliage 

There is nothing but freedom and love down there 

With me I carry all this pain

These bloody marks look deadly 

But it is beauty

It is life 

My hands are free

And they might always be this empty

Yet there are many stories of past defeats and victories 

There are lessons and wisdom that are priceless

Had these hands not have been free 

I may not have had this extraordinary journey 

Freedom comes with a price but gives many rewards

My hands are empty my love

I am not a perfect woman

I know too much to be

Anything but free
