You cigarette lips teased me in the rain
along with your arm holding my frame
and the way you said my name
and they way you sang.
I could have stayed in the rain
underneath the umbrella
with you forever.
In the forest by your house,
we shared our first cigarette.
Our shoes were wet
my eyes begged for a kiss
while staring at your lips.
But my face you never embraced.
I begged for a taste of your sweet cigarette mouth
on your black couch.
I felt you losing interest
as i laid on your chest.
But i won't be left
not again
so i ran.
Tried to forget the longing to hold you hand
the ocean in your eyes i never swam.
For you stay i wouldn't plea
so i forgot how you said you'd never leave.

House full of screams
i either listen to music or cry to fall asleep.
This is not a home.
This is a house as empty as one with no one.
I curl in my ball on my bed
trying to get their shouting out of my head,
if this is living
i'd rather be dead.

He taps on the window
like a tapping crow,
out of your bed you go.
Unlocking the clasp
i give you a nervous laugh,
you crawl in
almost losing your shoe,
you fall through.  
And you noticed the whole time him looking at you.
You barely know each other
and you can't stop starring at one another.
He gives you a small smile and moves closer
touching your elbow
starring about three inches under your eyebrow's
right at your rose colored lips.
You back up into your bed
sweet dizziness fills your head.
He places his hands on your hips
places a finger on your lips
he raises his eye brows
above the two eyes filled with clouds.
In an instant
your lips meet
you fall on your sheets
you rip of my shirt over my head
rolling on top of one another on the bed
my fingers wrap in your hair.
The only thing on the two lovers in underwear
inside the sheet made up heaven your love you swear.
It's better than Romeo and Juliet written by Shakespeare.
He kisses your neck holding you near
we jump in the shower.
He sits you down
and kisses your surprised lips.
You let the water get high
while the time flies.
You turn the shower off
exchange laughs
then cuddle all night in the bath.

Twenty one roses.
Twenty one days.
Everyday a rose will go up in flames
and everyday I drink tell I can't remember my name.
They might say it's the only thing that keeps me sane.
As I watch the rose burning,
begging for rain.
I smoke my last in the pack
my lungs fill with the smoke
slowly turning black.
Just like the roses I burn to a crisp
reminding me of your burning lips
your hands you placed on my hips
our fiery kiss.
The unburnt rose's bliss.
Inside me you ignited a spark
which led to a fire in my heart,
one you never extinguished.
Now I sit here in anguish.
It's November fifth,
this day last year you kissed my lips.
With rose's i'm down to my sixth.
The fire in me wouldn't let me sleep
for in my heart it was buried deep.
And the thought of you only makes it grow,
burning me up everyday oh so slow.
I decided to put out the fire
so I lite the six up,
then stood on my balcony in the rain
a smile forming on my face.
Then I heard the door bell ring
opened it and saw you with a dozen rose's, smiling.

In the meadow
under the tree's shadow
two lovers lay
in the shade.
Wrapped up in the thought of running away
but will together they stay?
They hold hands
making plans
to travel in a van.
All across the land.
No need for a home.
Only each other to hold.
Chasing the night.

The drugs are quick.
We laid on the beach
sand covered our feet.
Our hands and lips dying to meet.
Our bodies warm on the sheet.
Maybe it was the drugs
or maybe it was the look in your eyes.
But i wanted to kiss the lips that formed your smile.
The waves were crashing and i was falling
your name i was calling.
So you took my hand
and whispered sweet things to me underneath the moonlight in the sand.
And prayed the sun would take awhile
to make it to the other side of the earth as it ran.
The moon was on my side
it lite up our love filled eyes,
kept the tide high.
So you'd hear the waves cry
and not two lovers sigh
deep into the night.
Bathed in moonlight
i read you my poems
you played your guitar and sang.
I loved the way you said my name.
You took me by surprise
and kissed me deeply with tired eyes
and held me close the rest of the night,
trying to outrun the sunlight.

You kissed my trembling lips.
Smiled into my sadness filled eyes.
Made me want to survive
you made me feel alive
as i struggled inside.
I gave you all that was left of my heart,
left was only a small part.
But with you it was finally home
no longer having to roam.
So i gave you all of me
in between your bed sheets
and cups of coffee
and poetry
in the forest full of tree's
in notes to you signed by me
in stories shared by the sea
in camping in tents reading together at night tell three
in shared CD's.
I gave you all of me.
And still felt whole.
