The exhaustion
of multiple lives
pulls out my temples
my forehead throbs
with myriad possibilities

Laid out in front of me
they bleed out
in high definition color
each one competing
in varied flavor

I contemplate them
running them through
my fingers in turn

This madness must end
before something burns

I have it all in my hands…

Happiness dancing
on my fingertips

A circle of love
and relations
that run deep

So why singe it in fire
why test the bonds
why hover precariously
on the edge of obliteration?

I guess the years
have taken their toll
and I now find comfort
in frustration

Clothing myself
in conflicting emotions
hiding behind a facade
of love and devotion

Back in the day…recording in Rimini, Italia.  Rimini is known for its beautiful beaches and kickin’ dance music production scene.  I did a concert on the beach there once with Radio Dee Jay…it was wonderful :)

…I am posting waayy to much today.  So I will stop now…lol

You lifted me
cornered me
gave me little choice
but to give in
let you in

But I resisted
just enough
to remain
unblemished

Your eyes stare
torn at me
divided between
the need to claim
and proceed
honorably

I stare at my skin
branded forever
one night
one choice
never to be forgotten

With every kiss..
touch,
thrust,
you echo
unbidden
in my mind

I can’t throw you out
as hard as I try

Bleugh coffee :P

Ha!  I knew you were gonna say somethin’ bout my love of coffee.  I almost tagged you in my post just to get under your skin…lol.  Ah Froggy Roggy you just don’t know what your missing. 

Would that I could make you a succulent cappuccino like I experienced living in Rome you would most certainly change your stance.

I know comparing coffee and love is a bit cliche…but I can’t help it.  To me Coffee and love go together like cookies and cream, honey and tea.  Now I know I sound so very trite, but yum!  

I often measure my moments and days by exquisite cups of coffee…sigh

You fill me
with energy and smiles
every morning
like a frothy latte
you cling to my lips
so softly wrapping
round my mouth
lacing my tongue
with delicate flavor

I wrote this song while I was living in Rome, Italy.  It was inspired from a family member who got married for all the wrong reasons.  I’ll be posting the song later this weekend.


Verse One
You’ve cut my youth short
With your love
You turned your life round
To support me
You might not have stayed
Something deeper gave way

we made something
from what’s not meant to be

Chorus  
One room house
One room heart
No room to grow
Just time to start
Stop being a girl
And face the world
It’s hard but its love
In my one room heart

Verse Two
Smoke from your ash
Shrouds our eyes
Your thoughts sometimes
Leave me behind
But I’ll your side
When it’s our love
That you hide

Bridge  
tonight when your hand
Presses into my spine
I’ll love you back
I’ll give you back
All that I can
All that I am
       
Till I cry from inside
You’ll know its me
There with you
When you find my eyes
You’ll collapse into me
Breath into me
       
The worst is over we’ll make it over
The worst is over we’ll make it over

…and one more poem before I go

I completely forgot I about this song I recorded last year until today!  I love the smooth vibe of the track.  It still needs some mixing, but here it is.  Lyrics and melody by me, arrangement by my fab producer.

What is True

I want to know what you are
and not what you do
I want to travel deep inside
know what is true

Cause I am tired of the mess
and I’m tired of this ball
I’m tired of the faces
hiding underneath it all

We discover what is true
in the throes of our pursuits

You my forgotten land
where nothing goes as planned

You my forgotten land
where nothing goes as planned

If only I can realize
how special I am
how uniquely
and beautifully
the universe vibrates with
and around me

…that’s ok

If only you can see
what lies within me
in my complex diversity

If only you alone
can understand
my strangeness
while smiling without reprimand

I am blessed in the world
to share myself almost
completely with

a listener

an observer

a companion

a lover

even if you are
a man of few words…
