Here's to J and D!

So Innocent, Damn This Foolish Heart

Dark Bounty

Your hair is long and black
Forever
Like my sleepless nights without you
It falls, silently screaming
Driving like a wild ocean
Down your body as we make love
It hides your face as I kiss you
Because I like it that way
It covers your breasts
When you want it to
Your hair bathes my body in the tub
It washes my sins away
At least my senses
As I drift into it and breath
Hair is the true essence of a woman
If this be true
Then you Are the greatest woman
To have ever walked the earth
Cleopatra?
Juliet?
No, Mi Vampira with shiny locks
That stole my heart
Long like the shores of many oceans
Dark like a moonless night
Mysterious and lonely
Yet playful and vibrant
Like Babies
That I want to give you
Your hair is the universe to me
So much infinity
Just roll me into it
Like a cocoon
Like the Mummy
I am Imhotep
I shall arise from sleep and search for thee
Anck-su-Namun

For Danny

Danny was his name

He was not my first love

But the only true love that I have known

Sometimes I look into anothers eyes hoping to find him

And sometimes I do see a glimmer of his essence

Maybe in a smile

Or a hint of kindness

Something in a song makes me remember

Maybe something in your voice

Will make me like you

But only because you remind me of him

I will find love again

But never him

Never Danny

"Whatever"

I am small, but I am magical
You are big and crude, a pig
An addict
So I say, simply
"Whatever"
You are loud, like south Brooklyn,
so I whisper, gently in your ear
"Whatever"
You rant and stomp, threatening
Yet I have a magic wand
It's powerful and it says
"Whatever"
You are the big bad wolf, huffing and puffing
I am Tinkerbell
And I will always tell you
"Whatever"

Mi Vampira

Beneath the soft cushion of your lips
Dark eternity awaits
To swallow the soul
Of a love drunk fool
Death
Seems a small price to pay
Never to sleep
Without you
The blood and the stain
Transformed
Transfixed
In passion
I can see it clearly now, as I shy away from the dawn
Immortality in your eyes

Before the Bite

Concrete and Lace

When I look into your eyes, when I look into your face
All I see is concrete and lace...
Hurt that years can not erase
A lady tried and true
Tested by life, but remaining pure
In spirit, but not in flesh
You tried to begin again
But found only another dead end
Just more of the same
Only concrete and lace.
Love is given, then it’s taken away,
Like concrete and lace
You are still the girl, who wished for a home
A mommy and Daddy
To call her own
Yet you walked the streets alone
Streets of concrete and lace
Love is given, then it’s taken away
Just concrete and lace
You learned how to live, how to love,
And how to guard your precious heart
With concrete and lace
Love is given, then it’s taken away
Like concrete and lace
I look into your face
Hoping for love, But it’s more of the same
Just concrete and lace
Love is given, then it’s taken away
Like concrete and lace
Will there ever be another?
Will we ever recover?
Love is given, then it’s taken away
Like concrete and lace
