I love you

I inhale you
storing all of you in a glass vial
the scent of your clothes, your sheets,
79 inches of espresso terrain,
the taste of your skin, your little climbing hairs
coarse under my touch, my name blooming from
off your lips, your watching gaze interpreting
every single one of my expressions, the brightest black eyes I've ever seen
I take you with me, wherever I go

Baby

give me passion

give me relentless

lest i die

LOVE & NO APOLOGIES

What I give you, is all I know of love
What I give you, is what I dream love to be
What I give you, is what I am truly looking for in
return and sometimes (that lack),
that is all we know of love.

So I give you what I know, and what it is I have
I only know to love intensely
I only know to love passionately
I only know to bridge a connection that's deep
and always flowing
I only know to give the one I love a constancy,
a strong ground from which to gain some sort
of balance, some sort of footing  in this crazy world

And all I look for in return is
to be loved intensely
to be loved with passion
to share a deep connection
and the feeling I crave so much- stability.

But what do you do when what you give feels more
like a cage to the person you love?
When they don't really want what you have to give,

what do you do?
what do you do?

when this is the only love I know to give?

Because all the life in my loving has been sucked away
My love knows no apologies

This Love Has Feet

You run
like my love is the plague,

like my embrace is a cage

You hide
 as if my gaze is a grave,

my words of love-
little assassinations

Can you handle a

passionate woman...

A woman who knows
what she wants,

And takes it

Now,

Sit and watch my love run from you
