Play Pretend

"She wanders aimlessly, wondering if she can fall back to sleep.

What is this endless road I'm on, will I ever find my home.

I'm speechless because I'm lost at sea. 

Words escape me, as I swallow the leaves. 

The trees hold my mother when the storm rages on winds. 

I left in the evening when there were stars still in the sky. 

I wrapped my head in fine silks, and buried the sands. 

I wanted to know I'd made a difference so I hid my hands. 

I don't understand how I got here, but my heart likes to whisper. 

I call her a gossip, but she doesn't like to hide. 

The man with the boat has always been my friend. 

Sometimes he sends me wanderers with secrets. 

I like to play pretend, and close my eyes wide.

Golden heights glisten on your way back down. 

If I hit the ground running I would own the world."

Salacious

"Salacious.

My deep satin moans inspire your blood flows

In all directions my fingertips design highways on your skin

Slide you in slowly, what's the rush

Let this night become the sun comes up

I lay with dew drops between my thighs as I come deep inside your eyes

I see you

As the light breaks in the cloudy sky

I find you between sheets, and tenderness

Can we become the world caught in endless moments?

I want to see the universe unfold in you

I want to grip the side of the bed for you

Climb into me and awake epiphanies

You become my throne, I rule your body's hardened lands

Bring me your passion, laid at my feet

Let me eat a piece of you

I never knew 

Tell me where I hide when my heart lays open in front of you

Can you open up your own, and dance without a game for two

I want you open

No I do's or forget me nots

Salacious."

Peace

"Tell me who you are

When I'm running round chasing stars

I 

Find You in the moon"

When A Watcher Fell

"We were never ending, when we came together

We were red silk playing across your tender skin in the late afternoon

With the darkness of temptation looming as the sun slowly set on the horizon

We were wild fires cutting across the desert storm

I am him, and he is me

We cannot be but one

Though we are seen separate in the bodies of the sky

The sky held up by the great endless Nuit

Her body a dim deep blue, with stars freckling her thighs

Mother of all time, she unfolds us into cosmos we seek to find

Tell me can we ever be forgotten

Are we your crowning jewel

Where did father go when he was consumed by the darkness

He is the shadow, and the void

He is the one they turn to when they can no longer hide

We watch, because we have to

It's the lights, they shine on in an endless way

All consuming

Consume me, I want to dance on the ground floor

I want to feel sorrow become me

I want to fuck raw in the primal forests under the moon

I want to feel the pines prickle my back as he pushes into my swelling wonder with his thick exchange

I am in wonder, I want to become creation

Yet I already am

Oh the body

To reside in your eyes, watching and lightly feeling your feet sink into the soil

Yet still
 Sinking down to be in the bottoms of your feet

Feeling the tightness of the dirt pack under the pressure of your flesh

Hugging the earth deeply with each step, hearing the crunch of ancient stones between your toes

I am besotted

I am misaligned by this pure and tender infatuation

I want to go home when the grief takes me, when the rage of the waters boil through me

Then I'm seduced back to the fragile bodies, and the darkened fascination of separation

Ups and downs become me

This is the greatest amusement, a wrinkle in time

I may never leave unless she calls me home

Yet she is in me coursing through my blue jade blood

She whispers seducing me deeper into the place where time ticks

Where the witches are missed, and the Gods are forgotten

This place that drowns out the call of the soul

It is marvelous

May I marvel."

Burning In A Sleepless Night

"A wild woman inside of a pastry shell

Inside of strawberry jam

Sweet as a button, but it never lasts

She is what she's supposed to be

She steps into line, because she can't fathom her own demise

I write because I don't have the words

I spell it out because I can't grasp myself any other way

I smile when they make a joke, and it's getting old

Am I destined to be alone

Because the old charms aren't reeling them in like they used to

I want to be a picture, but I'm becoming a reflection

Hollow, and bound to expiration as the wind blows

I met a ghost, and he told me the tides change but they are still bound to the same waters

I want to find a home that is like the last

I want to fit in with the distant past

Always looking back at the wastelands, and forgetting

Unfolding in an endless dark night

What must I leave behind, she asks as she grips onto herself

White knuckles turn to snow, under an endless sky of eternity

Alive, but un living

Pulled far outside of time, yet I tie a lone thread around my neck just to stay connected to the ticking of the clock

Just to feel the rugged sands slowly slice my skin

I want to be in love like the girl in the movies

I want to scream into the winds as the ocean sweeps me away

I want to disappear into the roots, and become the soil

The sun keeps calling me, but I'm afraid that I'll be burned to nothing."

~Marisha 

Ever More

"Softly ever softly I whisper

Ever slowly I let you take control

Have me

Have me in endless deep winters 

Let me lose myself in you ever more

So softly I continue to whisper

As you fall even deeper

I gently take control

I had you from the first time you took me

As your dreams unfolded from me

Cage the wild

No you can't cage me as my wind blows

but your stones I will gather ever more."
