Natural Love?

I want to fall in love naturally
like a fruit falling from an apple tree
like the fire growing inside of me

No gimmicks, tricks, or rules to follow
all I want to follow is my heart
you know the part
that says that we'll never depart.

I want a love that is effortless,
not awkward like a first kiss.
I want sweet bliss.

Can I have a love like this?

Can I be electrified
by your fingertips and
melted by the touch of your lips?Can you be enamored by the
swing of my hips?
Can we have a love like this?

Can we dance until the sun
meets the horizon
Can I look into your eyes
and fall in love
again and again
with each new day's end,
like 50 first dates
forever soul-mates

Connecting like two opposing magnets
with an inability to stay apart
I want to give you my heart

Can our love be like this?

Because I'm not scared of
lions, and tigers, and bears,
but I'm scared of loving you.

I feel chained
to the what ifs and maybes,
the failures that plague me

I want to be your baby
but my heart and mind
are going two different ways

Please just stay while I figure out
if I want you to leave

Why can't we fall in love naturally?

(Untitled)

I sit on the
cold
hard
tile
Dirt
inside and out
outside and in
unwashable
the pain
unshakeable
the end
unseeable

knock, knock
my heart stops

in he comes

he licks his lips

I hear him rip
the condom
while he strips
me of my dignity

again
and
again

I scream

again
and
again

I
can
see
no
end

my body unable to mend

and then the next one comes in.

Your Flower

A seed
You watch me grow
A sprout
A love only you know
A bud
You are my King
A Flower
My Everything

I love you Lord
