Exceptions

Look at me.
Really.
Look at me.
When you look at me
what do you see?
Do you see
what you want to see?
Or everything
I could be?
Everything...
except really me.

Talk to me.
Really.
Talk to me.
When you talk to me
what do you say?
"Come on over,"
or, "Go away!"
"Do you want
to come out
and play?"
Everything
except "It's okay."

Dance with me.
Really.
Dance with me.
When you dance with me
what do you do?
Do you move
how you want to move?
Or do you sway to
the beat and
the groove?
Everything...
except
you're in love.

Listen to me.
Really.
Listen to me.
When you listen to me
what do you think?
Do you listen
as well as you think?
Or do my moving lips
wake up your kink?
Everything.
Except,
I'm swollen pink.


Come with me.
Really.
Come with me.
When you come with me
how do you feel?
Do you come undone
as you start to feel?
Or manage to keep
both hands on the wheel?
Everything...
Except
what is real.


Lie to me.
Really.
Lie to me.
Tell me
what I
want to hear.
Tickle soft,
whispery lies
in my ear.
That with you I
have nothing
to fear.
Nothing...
except you're
not here.


Stay with me.
Really.
Stay with me.
When you stay with me
where will we go?
Do you stay 'cuz
you want to be with me--
I gotta know.
Or is this whole damn thing
just for show.
Anything--
except
"I don't know."

Shave

Image
                                                                               I got a shave cut it all off. All of it. Done. So what? It's just hair.... They call me brave but I'm not, not really.... The one who is is the one who lives each and every day in pain, in knowing that she has one less day to spend with us here. Now, that's real. That's brave . Just so ya know.... The one who raised me just the way I am bold, free, unafraid of what you think or say, teaching me that I am more than the sum of my parts. I am more than the sum of these little stubbles of hair on my head Why do you look at me like that? Don't you see the glow around me as I channel her strength to me and become what she already is and more. She's seen, done, and made more than I'll ever be able to-- not that I'd try to duplicate or copycat her vibe, her style-- not by a mile! I have a bit of her in me, in here, inside, sure, no long

Tongue-tied

Sometimes when words escape you tongue twists and tangles, scraping the mindless, mangled mouth-- yet nothing comes out-- strangling shout-- moving and stammering you, reducing your daily brilliance into blah blah blah blah . 'Scuse me? You heard me! Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah! Say what?! Ugh!! What was that? Sorry, didn't quite catch that, sounds just squirming all over the place, feeling their way around, up and down, noise and sound bubbling, brewing, bouncing around inside my mouth, kickin' at my teeth to get out-- OWW!  Wow! Hey, now! Settle down! Now, where was I.... Ooooh, wait, what was that? Mmmm... Kinda tasty.... Not bad, not bad at all.... Don't nibble , bite , just chomp down . Like you mean it. You know you want it. Open up wide, now-- say, "Ahhhh." Mouth watering, dripping goodness oozing ripe fullness of being everything you wanna say or do, but won't, can't or don't, right ther

Walking in the Rain

Take a long walk in the pouring rain, let your hair spill freely down your back and smell all life that's flowing in your veins awaken in the storming sky's attack. Hold out your hands for those tiny kisses to lick and cool the heartache--and you smile, splashing past the windshield-wipered masses stuck in traffic--makes it all worthwhile. Look between the clouds as sunlight rainbows sparkling color in each falling drop. Amid new puddles children freely frolick, until their mothers scream for them to stop. Close your eyes and let the chilled breeze blush you-- just catch the taste of wet sky on your tongue. no matter if your clothes are soaked right through, they'll dry out as you walk back in the sun.
