Allowed?

Your lips move over me my toes curl involuntaryFinally, I am in my body (out of my head) You’ve brought me back to myself Your fingertips dip and trace my curvesmy breath deepens (dizzy with desire) Don’t stop, I need it again This release you give me as I scream your name throw curses towards the ceiling (I can’t contain it) Is this allowed toContinueContinue reading “Allowed?”

Different (a hidden message poem)

Mistakes and Grace (with audio)

Trapped being perfect and letting others down caught in the lies of performance  until I almost drowned Hearing a commotion from further down life’s road a woman shouted back at me: I’ll tell you what I know You’ll slip-up in this life and want to hit the break –  don’t be so hard on yourself  it’s okay to make mistakes I’d never heard ofContinueContinue reading “Mistakes and Grace (with audio)”
