Original memory

A desert land whirls sand that drifts away
A light seeps through the thin plastic door
of our room in the train
Rolling fast over Mexico's earth.
Children roam the halls that I long to be in.
Who are they?
What are their playful tones saying?
I am alone, staring at the shadow on the wall,
of the light that seeps through the door.
No choice, no imagination of one.

That shadow, the one that fills me with the
banality of the moment, and comforts me
with its unwavering companionship.

Open crack

The crack began to open
Love and light seeped in
Eyes showed fear yet
surrender was on the horizon
Unknown possibilities lingered
in their place
Sweat, strength, and emotions grew
One more night
One in lust and surrender
Open crack, open so that
light can shine in
Then the wall will fall.
Then we will be one

Seduction

If you think I think like you do,
perhaps you are right.
What if I think you think
like I think?
Would I be wrong?
The perception I have tells me you
know something I don't know
but may want to know.
I think I think something
you may want to know.
I want to tear your clothes off
in one full swoop and invite you under my covers.
Did you know that?

Politician

Step up on stage
because that is where you really are.
Become deaf to the audience.
Because that is all you really hear.
Breath air in and blow it out as smoke.
Blink your eyes
Lick your lips
Itch your head
Now you can step off the stage
And back onto the street

Past

I am an innocent bystander to a past that rushes by.
Who can say where I will be washed away to
or who will be the guide.
Perhaps that dreamy, shapely figure will
reach out to me and throw me the rope I am
silently screaming for.
I am a happy girl.
A woman of adventures to feel.
Soon I will reach dry land.

Today

Today a series of emotions to begin
a journey
An evening with dedicated love
A look with eyes of hope
A mind with less distractions.
Thank you thank you
For your appearance
For your existence
