skin – Poétique

Under the Skin

Like my story is so important
I need to share it with you
Everyday or that it’s
Really even necessary
Hiding behind the eye pain
What happened in the course
Of two days three days more
One week why am I so tired
Living the life I normally do
Just go to bed as if
There is no way to turn the
Clock back face sticking
This way for how long!!?
Any day now I will return
Or at least the hope says so
Unbelievable how long
It is taking to
Return to myself
In my own skin
Where did I go?
How long ago did
It all change?
Not long now before
Also never to return
Eyes cried shut
Tired from life
Adrenaline
What causes the storm
Will the universe calm it?
How long long long
He had to feel worse
Before he could feel better

Peau À Peau

It didn’t work the way she tried it
Like an acrobatic performance
Turning me into a trapeze or a
Trampoline screaming violently
Is this a happy anger circus
Call in the clowns what
Happens next, lion taming?
My legs were jelly and the
More I thought we were
Connecting the further I
Slid away down the bed
Out the door what just happened
Woohoo ride ‘em cowboy
Let’s have a party
Not sure if I was invited
Every moment leading up to
An accumulation of
Emotions that were present
Because they exploded
From the womb like a factory
Of bliss waiting to kiss
Every part of you or him
Even eating you alive
More mascara less blush
A tavern for cocktails
Before and after with
Moody music
Something to look forward to
Do better make it worse
Something to look forward to
Cigarette on the back porch
Nothing left but the wishes
Of a gypsy after the cards were
Turned the vibe left us
Both wrenched
Better off friends

Skin Writing

Sign your name
With your finger
Down my spine

You redden my heart
Extreme temperatures
Define our auric
Field of time

Drumming underneath
The surface
I lose my breath
With your touch
Across the seam of my
Endorphins

It’s almost too much
But then release brings
The taste of your sweet
Astronomy
That tingles
All over my body
Glistening
Like the stars

Celestial beast

I watch you sleep
You watch me breathe
I kiss your cheek
You smother me
With your love

I found your hand
Under the sheets
You rescue me
What an attraction
We’ve become
For the ceiling to speak
Tell all our secrets
Come back to me
Even though
You’re only gone
For a split second

What is lucidity
When I’m with you
In and out of falling into
Your lovers peak
A range of silk like
Territory

Your hair
Your waist
Your lips against my face
Remember me
When we slip in and out of
Reality

We’re just a whisper
On the tip of
Shakti’s tongue

Energy
Primordial especially
Manifesting
A psychospiritual love force
Undress me
You excavate my
Rural human sanctity

Miss me
When I’m not with you
We can be
Creation
Take off my cosmic robes
Confess the
One thing you
Could never ever say

Say it to me

Skin writing
Tattoo yourself
All over me
Sanskrit emerging
Tattoo yourself
All over me

Surrender

The ultimate surrender
Is in your arms
My lover my defender
Soothe me with the
Riddle of your
Touch
You set off my alarms
Every place

My body is your maze

Anywhere your hands
Can take you
Anywhere your breath
Will land
I am your moment
For the taking
Elated to oblige

Watch my chest
Rise up and down
Your heart beat
Feels sublime
As every
Generous word
Slips out
And carries
From your lips
No cynicism
Just your
Fingers on
My skin
