Can I follow You?

Can I follow you?

I'm not the type to 

Follow anything

But 

From first sight

I wanted to 

Follow you

Swallow you

Run my lips 

Across your body

Just to say a few

Words

Maybe a noun

Three or four beautiful verbs

In your ears

Around your neck

Down your back

As I wipe away your tears

Am I blind and or a fool

For following my dreams 

I see you to the moon

The joy and peace 

In my afternoon 

I follow with

Dedicated feet

As I travel this path

Visions of you and me

From the dessert to the sea

Flying high like an eagle

As I follow thee

Destiny Explosion

August 11, 2015

Destiny Explosion 

It was destiny 

You and I 

Meeting each other

The magic we share

Is complete harmony 

We seem to know

Something 

Is pulling us together 

Two different worlds

Colliding in laughter

Reading our secret 

Emotional journals 

With our stares

Yes

Somehow we believe 

We have become protégés 

To each other's dreams

Carefully 

Willingly  

Kneadingly 

As we weave

Our souls 

To the universe 

I quietly smile

Knowing

We are ticking 

Time bombs

Waiting 

To explode 

Tic

Tic

Tic

BOOM 

Let our love 

Spread like 

The oozing volcano 

BOOM

Let our love

Flood 

Like a tsunami 

BOOM 

Let our love 

Blow like

A summer thunderstorm 

Naturally 

As it wipes out any doubt 

In our path

Yes

You and I are 

Destiny 

On this journey 

Of love

Letting Go

August 10, 2015

12:10 am

Letting Go

Today I carry the burden 

Of letting you free from my mind

Yet 

My fist is tight with anguish.

Vision clouded with uncertainty 

Shoulders tired from carrying you

Yet

I fight the battle for you over and over

In my mind

I want us to be whole

Free to wonder the earth

Breathing all it has to offer

Yet

You are broken

Peering through stained dreams 

Of a caged mockingbird 

Broken

I have to go now

Open arms

Eyes wide open

Fists un cinched 

Today

I carry the burden

Which no longer 

Buries me

And 

Holds me hostage 

To emptiness 

Good bye love

Time Dies

August 10, 2015

12:29 am

Time Dies

Time is leaking from my eyes

As I wipe this moment off my cheek

I'm drowning in seconds

As yesterday leaves me dying

Whispers of your voice

Disappearing on death ears

Time

Stands still to my photographs

Of us fading in sand storm memories 

And I cry

The lament aches from my heart

While my soul seeks rekindle

It's sunrise

Day by day

I lips mouth the words in silent

The song-writings erased 

Time 

Passes through my fingertips 

While your shadow escapes

In fitted sheets

Your time has spoken

As my time dies.

And...

And...
Here and now
You tease me with your mind
And
I lick the words off your lips
And
Write them across my heart
And
You hold me in your arms
And
I fold my love in a moonlit star
And
Deliver it to your soul
And
You say you love me
And
I create a dream of us
And
I hold them hostage till your next whisper
And
We shall love
And
Love
And
Live
And
Love
And...

Whatever It Takes

July, 11, 2015

Whatever it takes

I'm going out of the way
I'm going that extra mile
I'm crossing bridges
I'm swimming oceans
I'm climbing mountains
I'm gathering clouds
I'm making ground
I'm making moves
I mean
I'm willing to shake the earth
If that's what it takes
To be with you
Whatever it takes
You're my dream
You're my song
You're my today
You're my future
The dance under my feet
Just say yes
I'll do
Whatever it takes
I love you

Changing Faces

Changing Faces

My soul exudes 

The many faces

I wear 

Bursting from my 

Fragile heart 

Scratching my emotional 

Yearning to be whole

My black face

My lost face

My woman face

My childless face

My scar face

My struggle face

My pain face

My gay face

My acceptance face

My sleepless face

Hoping there is really 

A God face

My old face

Bleeding to breathe

As I shout to the universe 

I belong here

As I cry 

From the 

Changing faces 

In me
