I Think of You and Smile

When the smile shines upon my face, and I laugh for no reason

I often think of you and smile

When I am walking along and see couples dancing

I think of you and smile

When time rolls on endlessly, season unto season

I think of you and smile

And when I think of the random chances, of us ever happening

I think of you and smile

When I make a goofy joke

I know you'd roll your eyes to

Or at the end of a long day

When I just want to be beside you

When I think of your sweet smile

And the way that our eyes meet

Or when I've been gone a while

And we hold close when we greet

And life isn't all roses

It beats us down without mercy

And it's in those times most of all

Thoughts of you set me free

From all the aggravation life will give

When it seems it piles into the sky

You make it easier to live

You give me the reason why

And when I can still all the torrent of life

With a simple thought of you

It's reminds of all the sacrifice

And everything I do

Seems now to give me comfort

When I think of you and smile

And smiling isn't always easy

Sometimes I just want to scream

Some days you do too

And you know what I mean

But it seems worth fighting through the madness of this world

To hold you next to me

And go where e're the path unfurls

Where ever that may be

And as with so many sordid days

Where your smile keeps me sane

When the worlds sets my plans ablaze

And I built it all again

And one day when I close my eyes

To take my final breath

One last thought I'll realize

As I take hands with death

And even though we'll be parted

For a long or little while

It will just as it started

I'll still think of you and smile

Devour

A touch from a far away place

A hint that ripples through my skin

This dark pool where feeling is knowing

Hold my breath while the lesson begins

Cat's claws touch like a feather

As the shiver runs up my spine

Horripilation meets anticipation

When wrapped together as the heart beats call time

A soft caress

Across my lips confessed

Exhale the id

Torrid blood now bids

Like wild beasts we collide

While the monsters inside

Devour so sweetly

As the moments tick by

As the steam coalesces

Sweat drips from our eyes

Prostate we fall

On an altar of storms

As the thunder recedes

Echoing back to our core

In cadence the drum beat

That resounds in our chest

The animal sated

We curl to rest

Polished Marble

Polish marbles to shine like stars

With aching hands and broken hearts

Drop one more down the spiral

Wishing well

Knowing well the wishing

Don't go so well

It's not denial

But resigned bleak hope

What we strive to do well

Isn't just a joke

That this counting glass we pass as gems

Might hold value beyond this narrow lens

That they don't vanish forever when they hit bottom

When we hit bottom

When our own wishes vanish forever

Forgotten
