My Name

So, he doesn't speak my name

it drives me insane

he simply stares quietly from the corner of his eye

his slow movements like hot candle wax

dripping down my innerthigh

I know he's watching

because I can feel him undressing my skin

and feel him consuming my boiling flesh

bubbling with this vulnerable desire to touch him

Happy lyrics are usually not my thing

yet my fingers ache these days

anxious to try and express it just right

I'll be serene and composed this time

I want to try to tell it just right

So what, he doesn't speak my name

his naked whispers over my neck

wake me in the middle of the night

and just then his hands speak for themselves

as they reach into the longitude of my shape

So cliché, I used to say

but now that it's here

the details reappear

and the magic once cast away

is a newborn tune to my ear

It's in the way his laugh can dissolve my sadness

as if it were never an issue

It's in the way his fingers trace my features

so searchingly, it almost hurts

It's in the way his stirring innocence permeates my senses

and drugs me

into a love so bottomless

I can hardly see in its darkness

He's that face

I wondered all this while about

but thought I could live perfectly without

An old spirit in young warrior's skin

he was just looking for a princess

to lose himself in

I remind him of his forgotten dreams

they are just so right

as I weave myself within their seams

The silence makes me quiver

as I explore the unspoken spaces

Without a pen to write or a voice to deliver

I know we are not destined for words

when I'm with this man I so much adore

I entrust myself into bliss more and more

and realize exactly what we are meant for

it's enchanting

all the beauty we are meant for

So yes,

Though he doesn't speak my name

Here it is, I relayed it just right

I perceive there's no need for any shame

this ode is no child's game

Maybe I should shut up

and start doing the same

The Stain

THE STAIN

Black is my stain

Clearing a white empty room

I spread like grape jelly

Against the artless walls

Until seeds or droplets begin to explode

Through the cracks of a grey windowsill

I leak my dark

You can see it

Trickling down the bustling outside

Slowly dripping and reaching

Escaping into the realness of solid ground

After infesting the normality

Of this white everyday room

Colorless in depth

Plastic in touch

After sickening it with my murky lava

The heat penetrating, pressuring, challenging

My wearied blob meanders towards a door

Slipping through slits of its clear glass

I've had enough of my pleasure

I've transformed everything and everyone

To as far as they can be

I don't turn back

I suck then spit out all of it

There's better fruit

Better smells, better eyes out there

So I burst out, I burst, burst

I am free

Until the stain doesn't fade away

Until the stain serves its purpose,

Penetrates my love

And decides to stay
