 Kiss-9.12.23Mermaid remix


You close your eyes and fall into me ravenous embrace

Eyes closed complete

Surrender

You put my hand on your breast

I feel your nipple stiffen

Your scent fills my head the heat of  your body warms me being

your heart races under me bed

Nothing else matters

This kiss

My love

My world

This all we have

Kiss: when couples  kiss, gently entwining their tongues with one another, there is an increase in the production of oxytocin, which is a hormone associated with building bonds with someone special 2) a sign of affection, respect.

 Broken angel-1.12.23

Found her on the sea bottom of   the desert

an hour out from Notre dame DE Afrique( or was it Joshua tree?)

She ultimately found life 

without any spiritual solace unendurable

She was looking for that ecstatic space

I knew the way

Next day under my coffee mug

I am killer

I am clown

My shots are final

I knew that when I laid down

My crown of thorns hanging 

From the sights of a C8 carbine 

Needing a fix

wander

to the desert

to meet

that 

Broken : having been fractured or damaged and no longer in one piece or in working order 2)Something/Someone that is so good in a particular context that it eclipses second place 3) wonky or conked out

broken angel

she would save my soul  tonight

if I had one

“Are you coming around 3?” I have a guest, and don’t know what’s happening.”

“Please! Please!

“Hang on Mums. I put the phone on the table. walk to the bedroom my apartment is barely furnished bed, and stereo. Table a guitar in the corner.  Albums, books random art. I hear the shower. 

“Misty,  want to go to Thanksgiving, casual my ‘rents some of the exchange  students “

“All I  have is what I had on last night and that might have your teeth marks only dress and 4-inch pumps no hose. “ Misty answers.  Wrapping a towel around her waist. 

‘don’t need hose you’re tan and waxed”

“We just met.”

“You're OK it’s casual. “I  am wearing jeans and a T, you’re pretty in anything in answer. We locked eyes across the room last night. Whilst a band cranked 3 chords at high volume. 

“Do you have a hair dryer?

In the cupboard.”

“Do you have a girlfriend?”

“No, why?” 

“There’s tampons in here.”

“For visitors’

“How many have there been? Don’t answer. None of my business. “ Misty stammers.

“Why so serious ?’ I ask.

“I am overthinking?” she asks.

No, I want to”.

I’ll tell Mumsy” remembering I left herb on hold.

“Did you forget? 

“I am coming and so is Misty.

Mumsy at the door.

“Was she waiting?” Misty asks. Relax 

The dog barks when he hears my car.” I answer.  I walk around and open her door Mumsy waving us in. There introduction table set we are seated across from each other.

Mumsy says say the blessing. Misty gives me a wink. Leans forward hands clasped in prayer ample cleavage and blonde hair spilling onto the table.

I begin, “Lord we thank you for the bounty on the table. Misty giggles, as does Mumsy. I excuse, myself for a cigarette as my father carves. Mumsy follows. 

“I can’t believe you just said that laughing. 

You can’t be mad you're still laughing.

She hugs me and goes back inside where Misty has charmed my father. Sayed is telling a chemistry joke. I just smile politely Misty gives a laugh.
