Dear Lord,
When You are gone
You are gone.
- Sunshine State of Mind
My dear.
The sun reflected
Your mind.
In summer we go to lie
The sun on our skin
To false ideas of the Lord.

The Second Queen That Rejects Blasphemy
Oh my God.
- Hello
Define politics.
Salvador Dali and Coco Chanel
Love to give,
I need you
Who's got a rap sheet the length of a lecture on dumb mistakes politicians have made.
And I, like a second comer, waiting.
Prompt: Write a found poem about a box of chocolates, a politician and a snake.

My skin does not remember you.
But you are like a sunburn,
You radiate within me.
But outside, it is dark
As in the desert at night
I am cold in my bed.
I’m cold, I’m cold.
The source of light and heat
My flesh wants to recall you.

Aphrodite's Death: Lavender
You touch my hands
And lavender oil kisses
Bloodstain my palms.
I wash my hands of you
And wash my hands of this witness.
Turn the page,
Wash my hands.
Put on my nightgown,
Wash my hands.
Fall asleep,
Wash my hands.
Lost love
Becomes leprosy.

The day expires.
“If I move,
This could die.”
And a beauty that annihilates all life.
But my time here is
One moment
I have you
And the next
You are gone
And it feels
Like the end of days.

October 2010
There was a breath. There was a movement of leaves falling gently. There was a small voice, and my heart swelled with love for you.
I want to get lost with you. I love you in small ways. I yearn to love you in more ways. I crave the breath that escapes your lips, your smell, when I nuzzle the place where your hair curls at your neck. My eyes darken at the very thought. Throw a rock at my tower window and snatch me up, please, as I let down my hair.
You have kissed me many times and I learned to kiss you back. I am learning how to love.

I am a sea woman.
You are of an island people.
You linger at the edge of the wind-swept cape
I crash with you against cliff walls.
You scatter stones along my coastline,
Tracing patterns in the sand.
You dive into my shallows and surface,
Dangerously close to white-crested waves.
You taste my spindrift.
You gather salt from the depths of my mouth.
Ah, to snatch you up
And draw you into the belly of the ocean!
Sink into me,
Imbrued with scarlet;
We would both drown.

Beauty is
Se*lah
I want to sing him to sleep;
I want him to sing out to me.
Drumbeats and guitar strings meet between
His heart and mine.
His hands hold creation and redemption.
His hands hold mine.
My hands hold destruction and resurrection.
My fingers are laced with rings of fire.
My fingers lace through his.
Smoke laces through his fingers.
Piercings and poems tangle between
My palm and his.
I intoxicate him.
My mouth is his wine.
My cheeks are like the halves of a pomegranate.
My neck is like an ivory tower,
At which he keeps watch.
I am a river in a canyon for him.
He overwhelms me.
His eyes are like doves by the water streams.
His lips are my milk and honey.
His hair is like the purest gold,
Rings of gold for my fingers.
He is the desert sky for me.
As the heavens are high and the earth is deep,
So the heart of a queen is unsearchable.
It is the glory of God to veil a mystery;
To search out a mystery is the glory of kings.
He and I live like royalty.
His presence draws me closely after him.
My presence falls elegantly.
There is a
Breath.
As beauty feels.
