Slightly :-p

Slightly lovers
Slightly friends
Dark beginning
Darker end
Broken pieces, all around
Shattered hearts upon the ground
Star-crossed lovers
Much regard
End this poem
Slight retard

Chocolate

You're so bad for me
But I want you all the time
I hear your whispers on the air
Calling me - sublime

Jeans are ripped
The way I like
That no one could believe
The way your chocolate
Covers me
Yet doesn't grant reprieve

So bad for me
And still so good
In brown and mocha waves
Coat and cover, cherry me
Until my soul behaves

Eternity 1

It took a long time
To get over the pain
Of being separated from you
It took a long time,
But now it's enough to know
That for one moment
You loved me
With all your heart
And our love
Will echo in eternity

Soul Window

The holes in your armpits
Are windows to your soul
No dirt, no stain, no cloth
I can see right through,
Right through
Into the very soul of you

Carnivore

Oh what a joy,
Oh what a treat
To find someone
Who truly loves meat
Throw out the onions
The tomatoes too
Bring in the food
I'm sharing with you

Supermassive

Dark
Brown
Supermassive eyes
Superyummy smell
Cherry
Roses
Superperfect stems,
Them, then, then

4 Runner

Runner up
Runner down
Runner smile
Runner frown
You had four runners,
I gave you eight
I showed you love
You gave me hate

Tangles

It isn't just,
It isn't fair,
I've lost a lifetime
Playing with your hair

"Time well spent,"
I'd hear you say
If you heard the words
I've spoke today,
But it wasn't
Now go away

Abandoned Love

I loved you ere I saw you
Much fairer, never seen
We've grown so close together
Forget the space between

It seems I found a lover
Much fairer than before
So my dear, abandon me
And think of me no more

Proconsul

My feelings for you
Are like the fossilized skull
Of a proconsul
Our love lives in the trees,
Subsiding on vegetation,
Paper, tobacco, and fiberglass
Together, we echo through the ages,
Timeless

Pierce Me

Pierce me
Do me
Move right through me
Tell the true me
Double drew me
Sit and woo me
Give it to me
Thought you knew me?

My Painting

A crescent moon,
A slender tree,
A dripping a mouse
Running down the snowfield
Blood on the tips of the world
At the end of the bridges,
A gently curving dune of sand
Shaped by the wind,
Explosions of amber in the skies,
A mouse traces the curve of your eyes,
Beautifully twisted
A wrought-iron gate lies at the top
Of the stairway to heaven,
Slender ends hold the wold aloft
The edges are a perfect fit,
You must be Cinderella!

Something to Look At

For some funny reason
The moles on your legs
Are the leaves
Of the season

I study them closely
Those tiny brown marks
Some shy away,
But I find them engrossing

Like a blanket of snow
Some bits on the ground
It's a ski slope
You'll never know

Buffalo

You come, you go
But you don't know
The wonder of a
Buffalo
Lumbering, thumbering
Where they may
Swear I'll never
Forget the day

Beware

I'm sorry,
It's not fair
The way I leave you
Standing there
Close enough to
Smell your hair
No present sign
That screams "beware"

I will beware,
I'll be aware
Of the smell of your breath
As you're walking on air
You're giving me more
And I lay myself bare

Let Me Tell You How I Really Feel

You're like a ruthless African dictator
Trying to wade across the stream of humanity
In full dress uniform
With sashes, and medals, and accouterments
Pacing nervously along the shore
Afraid to step in and get wet

Maybe you realize that we humans
Don't like people who think only of themselves
Maybe you're afraid of what we'll do to you
Once you struggle across the stream
And reach humanity on the other side
You should be afraid,
Because we'll tear you apart

You're every woman I've ever hated
Every woman I've ever loved
You're a push
You're a shove
You're a seven-year itch
You're a post-modern Lady Macbeth
You blood-sucking bitch

In Love With You Again

I fell in love with you again today
I was at Starbucks
With my son
I saw a girl who
Looked a lot like you did at eighteen
Her hair, her skin, her face
Even the clothes on her back
And the shape of her nose
She made me fall in love with you again
Then, after the coffee cake
And biscotti were finished,
And my cafe Americano was empty,
We left
And as I walked by,
She looked up and smiled at me
I couldn't smile back
I just looked at her through my Ray Bans
And thought of you

In and Out

Red skin
Pulls me in,
I'd put out
Without a doubt

Reveal

Flashing light
White haze
Blinds my eyes
While you amaze
The silent rise
Rising up to touch your bliss
But there's poison on your lips,
Danger in your finger tips,
And darkness
In the corner of your eyes

If we knew
All the truth
And all the lies
I would love
And you'd despise
That, I'm quite sure of,
But I don't know why

Blind me again,
But not from you
The white flash
Comes from behind, now
And I can't see you
When you're up on stage
I'll promise to love you
Through and through
I have got the darkness, too
But we can cure it,
Just me and you

Carol

Raging fucking lunatic
Ruin my perfect day
Like a cow birthing a calf,
We have to listen to you
Moo and bray
I wish you would shut
Your mouth
And simply go away
