You Are My Eden

I thought my body knew what touching was
Until your lips caressed me
Had underestimated sensuality
Until your eyes undressed me
And your hands, well they were hungry
And so in turn devoured me
Skin grew pink under your kisses
As your lips and teeth scoured me
I used to have a picture of what heaven looked like
Somewhere deep inside my head
Until you shattered that with just one look
And crawled toward me on the bed
Our bodies were still slick with passion’s dew
When you reached for me again
Said you thought if we never stopped touching
This moment may never have to end
Let my body fill your every need
As you in turn sate mine
Who needs heaven when we have this?
I’ve found nothing more divine
Than your hands, your touch, your lips, your smile
You’re everything my heaven needs
Forbidden fruit was never so tempting
As when it claimed passion in its seeds

You Again

You Again
When I think of you
I think of other things
Like the hotdog guy downtown
And how his are wrapped in bacon
Or the way a morning smells different
If you wake up in Hollywood
Lighter, as if even the air likes it better here
Maybe laughter too
Yeah! Definitely laughter
Public transportation laughter
Rule breaker’s giggles
And hoots of discovery
Along a sleeping freeway
When I think of you
I cry a little
Because I remember your tears
So clearly
I hope a little
I dream a little
And laugh a little
I picture your face
And everything else comes to mind
The world changes for me
When I think of you

If I Don't Make It, They Will

She smiled and brushed her hair back away from her eyes
For a moment she stood and wondered why you couldn't see through her disguise
But she smiled cause she felt nothing; wasn’t created so she could feel
An alter ego's just there to rescue when reality gets too real
It's so real it shatters the psyche; your mind forgets how to hold
In comes another identity, in with new; out with old
My name's Mary, make room for me, I see your tag says your name is Sue
Your spirit broke, and I was created. Child, what troubles you?
Mary, it's been so hard to cope with living inside this hell
I was created three years ago when momma ran outta things to sell
So she sold us to this dirty man who uses us as he pleases
I prayed to God, but I'm still waiting. Can you help us, Jesus?
It's okay, Sue, Fear no more. I can take it all from here
Little does that monster know it's a brand new "us" this year
Knock knock on the cranium, another me has come to be
My name's Julie, I'm moving in. Have you guys got room for me?
Sue come out of the corner please. Mary, I beg: Stop weeping
It's Julie to the rescue now, I'll handle all the secrets you've been keeping
Sue, it’s okay. Come on out. Mary, what’s done is done.
We had a battle we needed to fight, but Mary, child: we won.
But Julie, Julie! I killed that man. I didn't know it would go this way.
The knife wasn't supposed to change my life. I was only born today
I couldn't cope, couldn't cope, couldn't--- Shhhh...Child be still
You weren't created for a life of your own. Your purpose was always to kill
None of us could do it but you, but now we're here to heal
You're the one who murdered him, now I'll step in and deal
Deal with all the fallout and the debt is paid in kind
Sue and I will help you now to restore our broken mind
I was going to tell you about my broken mind , had all these things to say
But it looks like you may see already. Which "Me" did you meet today?

Wanderings...

Tremors of an angel
Can almost see her skin crawling
Writhing for a hefty fix
On her knees begging mercy
Anything to stop the itch
Can’t stop shaking
Dilated pupils and watery eyes
Stomach cramping, panic climbing
Not hungry? There’s a surprise
The need has her sweating
Like a beautiful angel that fell
And is now staring directly into
The flames of junkie Hell
Ah! A white light…
Better still, white powder
Coming her way
To restore her power
Smoke it, inject it, a snort?
Any method to warm the cold
And this helpless condition
That makes her feel so old
It’s all happening so fast
Should have know this kind of good
Was too incredible to last
Flying, flying, dreaming now
Then, back to reality she fell
To sleep and experience infinity
In good old Heroin Hell








Close your eyes
Often times, I had wished for your death
As had me fighting so hard to survive
I hoped you’d have to steal for your last breath
As life slid stealthily from your eyes

The youth you stole for so many years
Is now mere vengeance and conviction
Turning me into an assassin of crocodile tears
A cold hearted, softly sobbing contradiction

But now, I’m hoping you survive an eternity
So you can live, and relive that dark September
Forced through nightmares for time’s infinity
Flashbacks of all you gave me to remember

So live forever, close your eyes, and dream
The boogieman waits to swallow your scream

Sweet Dreams

I’m gonna wrap you up in one thousand kisses
Pray this year that Cupid has more hits than misses
Gonna dedicate my life to realizing your whispered wishes
Let me tuck you in tonight

I want to indulge you in the softness of my caresses
Run my fingers through your kinky twisted tresses
Relieve you of the pressure from heels and business dresses
Let me tuck you in tonight

Tuck you tightly between a dream and a soft place
Promises so sweet, you’re dreaming of the taste
Leap from the dream and into my embrace
Let me tuck you in tonight

Swaddle you in love now and forever after
Dedicate my soul to inspiring your laughter
Like a fairy tale, we’ll live happily ever after
Let me tuck you in tonight

Gonna wrap you up in one thousand kisses
Dedicate my life to realizing your wishes…..

Baby, let me tuck you in tonight.
