w is for wish.

Have you ever thought
of returning to the moment
everything went wrong –
the moment you slipped?
That is my wish.

Of course, this requires
knowing the exact moment
I broke everything –
so I’ll need that too.
That is my wish.

Oh, one last thing –
I am going to need to know
how to stop myself
from fucking up again.
That is my wish.

v is for vision.

When I walked away from you
It should have been the end
But somehow a piece of me
Never escaped your head
When you wake I’m beside you
A vision you can’t touch
When you hide away in silence
You swear you hear my voice
When your masterpiece is done
You find me on your canvas
You can’t get me off your mind
And it’s driving you mad
In your state I hate to tell you
This torture is nothing
If you think I haunt you now
Just wait ‘til I’m a ghost

u is for undone.

You make me laugh
when I’m drowning in tears
You bring me calm
Until the smoke clears
You pick me up
when I fall to the ground
You light the way
When darkness surrounds
You keep secrets
I beg you not to tell
You let me scream
when I’m mad as hell
You hold me tight
when I feel alone
You put me together
when I come undone

t is for touch.

your words tease me
every desire
written by your hand
for my eyes to read
tonight and tomorrow
and all days to come
the sweet seduction
the beckoning temptation
mapped out before me
your own personal
travel itinerary
from my head to my feet
all stops in between
visited and
thoroughly explored
twice
(don’t forget
the return trip)
deviations
from your path
promise not one inch
neglected
and I stir inside
tingle from my center
to my skin
from your letters
of love
I shall treasure
until and beyond
the moment we
touch.

(t is also for tease, tonight, tomorrow, temptation, travel, thoroughly, twice, trip, tingle, treasure…)

Even as she basks in sunshine
She craves the darkness of night
Though at home by the water
She fears the shark’s bite
From above she enjoys the view
But can’t calm her fear of heights
She tries not to think so much
But her imagination runs wild
She apologizes too often
Even when she knows she’s right
She has no doubt she can win
But she doesn’t want to fight
She adores romance of course
But must indulge her sinful side
She’s full of contradictions
It could be hell or paradise
And if she takes you for a ride
You’d better hold on tight…

[Yes… that is me… taken myself… turned into a painting… March 2016]
