Lady

So austere, so divine---
Once again your eyes flicker
Just barely catching mine
Like an old, forgotten Roman goddess
No one remembers the name to
You weave your way through
With self-loathing and pride
Your own walking contradiction
Of elegance and disgrace
Enough to fool the masses
But not enough to hide your shame
Weave your web of deceitful honesty
But remember the haunting flow
The farce is only the glare
That hides your face in our view
Do you think lady
You could paint that picture again
The one that fades into the sun?

Missing You

Missing you reminds me

That somewhere inside I’m human

That I am not as callous as once thought

Missing you means that my heart

Has not gone numb

Despite the pain throughout my life.

Missing you has taught me

What is really important in life

What makes my heart beat daily

Missing you is a moment in every day

Reminding me that you are still

One of the fondest memories of my heart.

Missing you has shown me

That I can be stronger than I ever knew

That I can make it through anything

Missing you has brought me peace

Because I know how much you loved me

And you taught me to love myself.

Love Me Tonight & Tomorrow

Spend time with me tonight

Come to bed with me

Lay down crisp sheets

Rest your head 'bout my soft breasts

Just be with me

Rest without distraction

Caress my body with your touch

Spoil me with sweet words

And love me with your hands

Sleep softly, holding me

Until faint sunlight breaks

Across naked flesh and twisted sheets

Wake with me to face the day

Telling me you love me

And you'll be here always.
