I Can’t Love You

I can’t love you because I’m broken.
I can’t love you because I’ve been hurt.
I can’t love you because I’m afraid.
I can’t love you because you’ll break my heart.

I can’t love you because I don’t want to be rejected.
I can’t love you because you don’t want me.
I can’t love you because I love you.
I can’t love you because it tears me apart.

Devil’s Whore

Roses red for the devil’s whore
Chained to his bedside, his service, her chore
Lustful and hateful and guilty as sin
Delicious and vicious
With always a grin

Roses red for the devil’s whore
Luring the innocent down to his door
Gracious and salacious, tempting their soul
Malicious and seditious
Devouring them whole

Spring

A breeze in the window
The sun through the door
Says the cold of winter
Shall bother us no more

Gathering branches
Walking in the wood
Hands dirty from nature
All being as it should

Love You

I love you as much as any girl can
The sweetheart, the silly, and Lucifer Sam
I love true your nature and beautiful soul
In all times of quiet and rigmarole

I love how you show me in truth that you care
And tend my wounds that are open and bare
I love what you give me by just being you
So much has been given and you never knew

Without you I’d never have stood on my own
Or had the strength to cut ties and leave pain alone
You don’t let me ignore those things that are wrong
and you make me face truths and help keep me strong

I love you as much as any girl can
The sweetheart, the silly, and Lucifer Sam………

Cursed

It’s cold and lonely in the shadow cast by your back turned to me.
No one to talk to and no comfort to be found.
Where does the left half turn when the right half is missing?
The emptiness of my soul echos every little sound.

I don’t believe in the sun, for all I see is now dark.
No moon or stars to guide or sun to help me bloom and grow.
My source of strength has left me and the joy’s gone away.
And if it shall ever return only time shall know.

Minds are churning in the heavy storm of change, unprepared
This sharp tongue of pain and fear I would reverse.
Would warmth of blood spilled melt thy heart turned cold?
And offer amnesty and forgiveness for the cursed.

Firestarter

Playing not with fire
for I have felt the heat before
leaving scars like cigarette burns
up and down my arms
and into my soul.

Look not into the eye
of the flame that bears temptation
when embers glow inside
and the slightest spark
would cause a deadly fall.

Keep arms and hearts inside
the ride at all times or risk destruction
because nothing melts the soul
and resolution to protect
like the gaze of the Firestarter.

Lover and King

Be my lover
And be my king
Be my world
And everything

Kiss me hard
And kiss me light
Kiss my heart
Will it be all right

Lick my neck
And Lick my core
Lick it good
I’ll be your whore

Love my smile
And love my soul
Love my eyes
Is love your goal

Treat me fair
And treat me kind
Treat me well
And you’ll be mine

Be my lover
And be my king
Be my world
And everything

Famous Last Words

The spirits conspire
a sweet torment for my soul
delivering you to far away lands
as absence makes my heart grow fonder
and dreams turn to you.

Fire kisses no longer ignite
from a trembling caress
and wishes of knowing you better
wash away in the torrential rain
destroyed by needles of melancholy despair.

Did You Know?

Did you hit something?
Was it hard or soft?
Did it give way
Or repel your blow?
What did you hit it with?
Was it heavy or light?
Sharp or dull?
Do you know?

You did hit something
It was my heart
The walls around it were hard
But they did give way to you.
You hit it with your smile
Your eyes and your charm
Piercing my heart like an arrow.
Did you know?

For Thee

For thee who art not remotely of this world
yet captured the heart and soul of a girl

For thee who art wholly the warmth of the sun and light of the moon
and illuminates her day and night and always leaves too soon

For thee who art at a distance in time and in space
there is one who is missing the smile on thy face
