Beginnings of a Kiss

There was that time

you kissed me.

That day you held my hand.

When you wrapped your arms around me.

Kept me from falling down.

Your gaze glued to mine.

Your smile so tempting

Those lips waiting

You pulled me closer ~

Crushed me into your chest.

Our hearts beating in rhythm.

Your hands slid down my hips.

Our fingers entwined

then your lips on mine.

So much learned from the 

beginnings of a kiss.

Chasing your dream

More than once

TikTok

In the shadows

Do you know how it feels 

to be

embraced by the shadows?

You think the fun is in the light?

but in the darkness

we are invisible

You don't want to see

what hides out in here

Takes a man without fear

to look beyond the light

and feel what hides

within the night.

In here there are no eyes to see.

in here no ears to hear.

steps taken so lightly~

sound swallowed

by silence

not wanting to be heard.

You wouldn't want to venture in

for fear it would consume you

The shadows hide behind open doors

they sneak up behind you

Don't turn 

you won't find them

the shadows 

find you.

Oh my, Yes please

Oh my God, 

It's been awhile

Everywhere you touched

Screamed "Yes"

for Miles

My toes just curled...

Oh, you've done that before?

for me, that was new.

My legs haven't tightened so much

Really?
 you do have a magic touch.

"Um, may we do it again?"

Of course, yes please...

that was amazing
yes, yes I'll squeeze

Oh wait, don't let go

I think I'm still 

~reacting~ 

We should make a note 

to go there again...

Wait, what?

You believe once is enough?

I think you're wrong!

I'd like to dispute...

 I think I'd like another
No, I know I want another
Lets get real close
touch me here
Oh yes for sure there
can you get closer still?

O'come on

I need you 

at least once more

Really, You give in?
I so enjoy the way you tease.

Am I that easy?

Oh, you're just enjoying what you've done!

Either way

What an amazing way

to "play" today!

Whisper to you

I don't whisper to you

so others can't hear.

I whisper so that my lips 

will bring you near.

I whisper 

so once you're near

I may know your desire.

Breathe in your lust.

share a tender moment 

of 

passion between us.

I whisper

so that I may see

that look in your eyes...

~eager

Yes, be eager.

For you will see

just how eager 

our passion can be

I'll press my lips to you

~a whisper too close?

It's just what we need

body heat

It burns from me

do you feel it too?

Then close your eyes 

and

Let me whisper to you

All is not gone

I say I don't need you 
~When you forget to call
I say I didn't want you
~When you decided to end it all

I thought that I once loved you
~You told me I was wrong.
You said,
"There's more to love 
than what we had going on"

I once believed I needed you
~You showed me that I didn't.
I hoped you would come back to me
~Then remembered why you wouldn't

I couldn't forget about you for the longest time
~Then one day I realized
You hadn't been on my mind

A smile appeared
knowing you were gone
~How weird.
I didn't need you at all.

Try not to stare

I wonder

what would you do

If I asked to slowly undress you?

Standing there in a suit

so well dressed 

so refined...

I've already undressed you in my mind

I've imagined what that shirt

looks like on the floor.

What's underneath,

will I get to explore?

May I pretty please

trace the lines 

from 

the muscles in your neck 

to the bottom 

of your behind?

Oh, if you please,

just the thought

brings me to my knees.

Lets continue

lets move on

the pants you have

shouldn't be left on

I'll just un-button here 

un-zip down to there

let them fall

mmm, now there...

We are getting to the fun

we are almost there

silly me...

I'll try not to stare

I take that back

I promise nothing

I've brought you this far

Now give me something

I'll leave nothing to waste

lets finish the rest...

In under a second

I'll be out of this dress!

Dark spaces

Excuses drip from the walls thick as molasses

Lies cover the floor waiting to be believed

Shadows dance around the light 

that has snuck in through

broken windows.

Dust covers the frames that once held smiling faces

An echo of a child's laugh

floats through the air.

If not for the echo

There would be no sound 

anywhere.

The spiders and flies 

took their dance elsewhere

Even this place is too dark 

for them.

No soul left to fill the void

No whisper of any tenant 

at all.

This place they call Misery~

No one should want to be.

It tries to hold on to others 

It tries to belong

Misery loves company

"They say"

But no company would take Misery on!

To be loved

Once there was a little girl who only wanted to be loved!

She looked in all the wrong places just for a hug.

She was told she had to give more if she wanted to be seen.

She was told she had to be more if she wanted her dream.

She gave, they took... she waited to see.

Not enough was all it ever seemed to be.

So, she gathered her things and turned away, to start a love in a different way.

She found her strength, she found her voice.

She lived a life of her own choice.

She knows if she could choose who she would choose to be.

The choice to choose would be...

"Me!"

Rescue

Do you know me?

I hide within the shadows

I run behind the wind

I blend in with the trees

Leaves stumble around me with ease.

Do you see me?

I pass you every day

I walk in your shoes

I glide behind you as you move

I watch you move about your day

I wonder what it's like to be you

Do you hear me?

I reach for you, but I can never get close enough

I scream for you, but my words float above you, and are carried away

I wonder why you can't hear me

I wonder why you wont see me

But, I will wait until you do

For, I am that power you are searching for

I am what you are always hoping to find, but choose to ignore.

I am what you have spent your lifetime looking for

Once you believe in you, then you will see me

Once you find you...you will hear me.

Once you know; you can do anything

You will have set me free

I am that power within you

I'm just waiting for you to believe!!

Looking To Be Seen

I am a survivor of things no one wants to talk about.  

I am a statistic of too many numbers to count.

I am a fighter.

I am a believer that all things are possible.

I have hurt deeper than I thought possible.

I have looked up at the world,

 I have stood next to the sun, and I have cried tears like rain.

I have hidden from life.

 I have asked "why" more times than I care to admit.

I have spoken my truths and fought for my beliefs. 

I have lost, but in losing, I have won.

I am human.

 I am imperfect

 I am as weak as I am strong.

I am no longer silent. I am no longer hiding.
I am looking for what everyone is looking for...to be seen!
