I don’t need a hero.
I’m not looking for someone to save me.
I saved myself long ago.
I don’t mind going solo.
I’m not looking for someone to complete me.
I am whole and complete, alone.
But
I’d like someone to join me in crazy adventures.
I want someone to pull me into a hug.
I’d like someone to dance me around the kitchen.
I want someone to see the beauty in my wild.
I’d like to be kissed on the neck when I least expect it.
That’s what I’d like that’s what I want.
What do you want?

You are my single lifeline
The mask I wear to confine.

With a plastic shield- I am out of my senses.
Frivolous safety, with endless expenses.

Coughing green and blue ice
Why do I seek life on Neptune?
Far from warmth and invisble to naked eyes
Rings of glass dull the distant cries.
I keep getting swept up
in someone else's fantasy
Marriage, talents, interests
that don't quite interest me
Like a moth, beautiful on its own
but cannot redesign its mimicry
These new personas bombard
and confuse, they simply need to leave
I'm a puzzle missing pieces
a map without a key
A mimicry octopus
fleeing from the scene
I need distance from it all
so I can go back to being me

Your hands are soft,
They grip firmly on my hips and
your eyes are fixated on my...
My everything
You move boundlessly and complete me effortlessly...
your groans give me certainty that your satisfaction is profound
And in my last gasp for air before I relinquish all the power from my body,
My nails dig into your back and my legs curl around your waist for support.
We are one.
