She paints her brow with worries,
and combs her hair with fear.

The knapsack of strangers' troubles
is heavy, and sincere.

Her lips are curved and down,
awakened, but afraid.

Regret is growing in her garden,
Her bed is firmly made.

She tussles through her locks,
as if she dreams of laughter.

But love once lost is always lost,
her house is without rafters.

The Thrills of Your Lies

Embrace me deep.
Feel my heat.
Listening, sweet.
Rough lips, come cheap.

Caress my soul.
Comprehend me whole.
Eyes in your control.
Just one of your sheep.

Think I'm a fool?
My mind under your rule.
Not malicious, not cruel.
But yet my heart will weep.

You came from foreign blood.
Alive in solid mud.
Observe me like wasted crud.
Yet, yearning lives inside.

Pathetic. Not atoned.
Your hands persuaded and condoned.
Now I'm left for dead, alone.
Somehow I understand your thrill ride.

The Beauty of a Woman

The beauty of a woman
is in the poems she's wrote,
the dreams she's weaved
and all the stories she's told.

The beauty of a woman
is in the adventures she's taken,
the lives she's touched
and all the minds she's awakened.

The beauty of a woman
is in the caring she gives,
the sincerity in her laughter,
and the passion in her griefs.

It's not the expensive clothes she owns,
her body size, the diamonds she's worn.
Measure not the beauty of woman in gold,
for the beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul.

Dedicated to all women out there with an amazing mind and a beautiful soul. We are the gift of nature, soft enough to touch the core of others and strong enough to protect that and those important to us. I love you all. Believe in yourself and the world will believe in your power.

I'm honored to have it as the daily poem.

Hiding Heyde

I wish i could say that you are the only thought
in my mind
before
i sleep.

But your kisses are momentary
and your words mean nothing.

I wish he knew his eyes sting me and his words
in my mind
before
i sleep.

But his kisses are hers
and his words mean everything.

Poignancies Conjoined

Marry me with thoughts
that never were complete.

Kissing with your music
I listen in defeat.

Blinded with innuendos
but cowering at the sight.

Trembling in the whisper
of your breath so cool at night.

Cradle me in confusion,
while you test the water's feel.

Resting on the floorboards
of your broken-pedaled heal.

Caress me in affection
while you smile and flip a coin.

Paint me in your glances
with poignancies conjoined.

Bury me in final thought,
a tux, or even tears.

But bury me nonetheless
with a decision--decide, my dear.

Illusion.

Your soft hands
on mine.

Your warm heart
in mine.

Your strong kiss
becoming mine.

It is your love,
not mine.

Playing with Fire.

Cringes* I suppress.
Trapped in sullen mess.
Tangled and undressed.
I thought I wouldn't feel.

Gazing from the edge.
Slick and falling--the ledge.
Sinking further, they dredge.
Corroding me in mud.

Awake, but a ghost.
Transparent at the most.
Your game is but a host
to anything polite.

I learned, my friend.
At river's red and mucky end.
Lies are calling, backs must bend.
My heart's what hurt the most.

You travel like wildfire.
Trap all those who inquire
where you came from or what you desire.
You, *sire, are more lost than me.
