Love Flames

Ah my flower

my knight in shining armor

holding me in the blue of the fields

as we wrestle between day and night,

wrong and right,

remember my darling

to kiss me goodnight.

But my love burns like fire

N love

In my desire

You are all

I can believe

God help me

Protect me

Help me my lord

The vision of men past

Of loves that didn’t last

of demons that tried to make me see

That there was no one made for me

Though the words where whispered

Conspired

inspired by love

An angel’s gift blooming

Flourishing and fading

As I stare at my reflection

Feelin it

Remembering the kiss

Remembering being protected from the rain

Wondering about the divine order and the gift from god while the angel of hope stands waiting

While on eagle’s wings I take flight

Seeing all God’s glory and power and might the beauty of love deep in the night and the treasure it brings

Standing strong against the winds

Watching seasons change and then

Having my shame cover me

Yet again

As I slay the dragon for myself

Haunted by the present and the past

Gallant and beautiful

But how long will it last

Until the tears come tumbling from my eyes

A subversive beauty

No longer a maid

But a warrior

For every tear that falls

Fuck you.

So many times you told me you loved me

Where did those feelings . . . Go

Now that you are gone

I am left with unrequited love

Because . . .

I don’t have some pretty jewel encrusted box

To put such a love

As I have for you in

Still locked in my heart

In my memories

Are the moments we shared

When we loved and became one

I want to bond with you

Whispered in the throes of passion

As you gazed lovingly into my willing soul

I believed because I had waited

That this was true

Only to find

It was just another fantasy

Artfully written, directed and cut short

By you

Some knight in shinning armor

You turned out to be

I now save my own soul

Because you have shown me

That all men lie

Especially the ones you believe in

I want you

Your whispered passion

Is matched by the change of color in your eyes

I want you now

Your words get tangled in your desire

Your lips start a fire in my loins

But my mind is far from you

So I do not respond

Your hands remember

My many requests

Automatically

Touching

My treasures

My body

Wants to respond to the pleasure

But my mind will not let go

So lost in your passion

You don’t notice

So into your need

You really don’t care

So lost

To me

I refuse

To give myself

My mind won’t let me

My heart doesn’t even cry

You have rejected me

& for the life of me

I don’t know why

Your ability to please yourself

Tells me you need no woman at all

& every time you touch me

there is some complaint

So now you don’t touch me at all

You don’t even touch me

in kind words anymore

Damn what did I do to you

& you know what

Fuck you too!

Keep it up buddy

You have yet

to meet

the flaming bitch

I didn’t make it

this far

in life

without her

Get A Grip

What can u do to hurt me?

Honey I understand your fear

but . . . really . . .

what can you do to hurt me?

Baby don’t you know who I am?

I’m the one life has beat the crap out of

I’m the one who’s ALWAYS lost her man

I’m the one left high & dry

I’m the one crying in the middle of the night

I’m the one broke, busted & disgusted

but I’m the one who will rise again

baby don't you know who I am?

what can u do to hurt me?

beat me - hit me - abuse me

hell that's what hospitals are for

then cheat on me

leave me for a young pretty girl

uh . . . last I checked

you're not the last man in the world

repeatedly . . .

this wanderlust comes pouring from your lips

well get your buns going

start moving those sexy hips

bye!

what . . . ? expecting me to cry?

you'll be back

one day

I'm sure . . .

why . . . because you love me

& I love you enough to set you free

why does the caged bird sing

he wants someone to open the door

he wants to choose . . . for himself

I won't stop you

I can't stop you

I don't want to stop you

go - run - bye!!!

baby u don't know who I am!

what can u do to hurt me?

what is it you cook up in your fevered brain

that has you up at night - driving you insane

the past haunts you & I want you to be clear

when it comes to me on this have no fear

baby u don't know who I am?

look . . . if you want to scare me . . . love me

sad - but true - I don't understand

a long standing desire

an eternal fire

a hunger

a need

a thirst to quench

if you want to scare me

love me

but

what can u do to hurt me?

if you leave me

reject me

cheat on me

have sex with me

not have sex with me

throw my past in my face

& tell the world

WHAT?

don't u know who I am?

i would not still be here

if I was easy to take down

so what you got?

come on . . . let's go!

you can't protect me from you

cause you don't know what you do

that has caused the others to flee

so long as you're honest with me

I don't understand or see

how you can ever hurt me

but fears . . . are sometimes . . . irrational

sweetness . . . I'm not picking on you

I'm trying to get you to understand

I know who I am

& what hurts me

you loving me hurts me

so as far as I'm concerned

we're good
