.....some simple words are too hard to say....
ADMIRATION
to look into your wisdom tooth
walk through your house
stay in the bathroom
finger your lotions, waft your cologne
read your journal, swallow the truth
getting into crevices like a louse
rub your white faucet sink; listening to your favorite tunes
A ZOMBIE, I'm in the zone.
can't stop touching...the sheets..covers, pillows
pictures on the wall stare back innocuous
plush kiss to a shoe on the floor
lingered in the kitchen, spread myself on the counter
shoved my face against a pane of windows
daring to create a...wanting you to hold my bust
took you by surprise when you opened the door
my face ashen, like powder
*Dedicated to the chick who (twice) sneaked into Brad Pitt's house.
Pounded, Molding...Sewing?
(pounced, molding...patches)
tied shoelaces
tripped and fell
got a ride, went places
caught a friend, promised not to tell
was stained
borrowed a sweater;
it rained
used sweater for cover from the weather
shared a first love
an actor in some movie
fought for the same boy
he became another's toy.
one day, forced to reconcile with responsibility
someone was taken to the heavens above????
hated the models
starved into that dress!!!
bought some wonderful hair
looked into the mirror and glared.
Time left early in a private jet
and left me standing there.....
