Hatred Caused By Illness

Is Satan within you For you share some traits Noises of the screeching devil Of which it possesses you Rats crawl from the sewer Asking for their leader Crimes of the criminals Equivalent to your soul Not jailed but set free So look at your enemy And my eyes are near Between the trees, I hide Ready to jump Ready to attack

Wanting his Approval

Love makes one dumb No confidence without their approval Reply with no question given Frustration and aggravation Plans to be made just to be broken

Choosing Silence

This porch light is blocking the darkness from my eyes. The neighbor’s dog is disturbing the silence from my ears. And this stranger walking by is interrupting this loneliness.

Anxious and in the Darkness

I can’t see right now The sun needs to come back But it must make a full turn Until then I trust you Oh please don’t break my heart I will hold on to this thought I want to see the answer Return my message Sorry if I held back I couldn’t do wrong In this darkness, Where are you? Have you reached the light? Are you with another? Oh please don’t break my heart Please wait till the morning The roses will open again

Protected Love

Too shy to say it But I want to feel your touch And for you to pull me in closer Memorize my scent Like that of a rose I will remember your skin Like that of roses petals Together let’s be the rose For whoever comes near Our thorns will jab them And consume the blood And the rose will grow redder

I am Its Wings

The hummingbird’s wings Flap far too fast to see the feathers Can’t see all the colors and its shimmer of gold I am its wings Freeze me for a moment For you have frozen my breath But my heart sped up Look at my detail And understand me See God’s creation I give you permission To come and admire Make me your only desire

Hidden Yearning

The candle’s light is burning She looks out the window He waits at his balcony Deep shadows outline her face He stares looking for a thrill She smiles in response He catches a breath For it is a first for the moon To smile in his direction A hand caresses her shoulder He knows she’s not alone It pulls her back And the candle is blown out

Hydrated Touch

I want to be back in the desert Because this mirage runs in my veins And my blood has thickened My heart’s crust is cracking The palm trees’ leaves are calling All while the sand is still between My toes and in my hair You await me in the desert And you’re all the water I need Hydrate me.

Jungle of Love

I need to watch what I say now because I’m in love with you. When I’m in love I’m drunk. When I’m in love with you I have overdosed. Forget about the butterflies in my belly. It is a whole zoo in there. The wild birds are flying. Animals are running all over. It is a jungle. I want you to take me into your forest. Swing me on the vines. Let’s lay under the tree when it rains. Take me into your cave when it’s dark.

Writing You A Poem

Writing you a love letter is simple Your thought fills my paper I don’t make it abstract I make it as clear as ice But you receiving it is different It goes through water The letters get smudged It loses its rosy sent Even though I drenched it in my perfume and kissed it Your mind is the ocean Please let it sit out to dry I need you to read what it says Read it at night Use the moon’s light Listen to the waves
