And I am in Love Again

I try to blind myself to your sight
Somehow forget your beauty's depth
I lose sight of you inside a crowd
I open my eyes and think I'm free...
But then I see you next to me
And your smile is my only star
It shoots deep into my heart
And I am in love again.

I try to tune out your voice
Somehow forget those words you speak
I lose your voice in crowd of words
I sigh and think I'm free...
But then you whisper in my ear
And I hear the quiver of damselfly wings
They fly deep into my core
And I am in love again.

I try to evade your scent
Somehow forget the smell of you
I lose your trace in a crowd of aromas
I inhale deep and think I'm free...
But then you breathe upon my neck
And I get high from your scent
It lifts my spirit to the clouds
And I am in love again.

I try to stop thinking about how you feel
Somehow forget your hands on me
I wipe my fingertips' memory clean
I relax and think I'm free...
But then you touch my lower back
And lightening bolts strike the earth
They electrify my very being
And I am in love again.

I try to disregard your taste
Somehow forget your lips on mine
I speak words to give them strength
My last chance to let go and be free...
But then you kiss me hard and strong
And words of passion, now, resound
They echo though my soul
And I am in love again.

Wet Paint

You see the sign that says wet paint

I am.

A work in progress

Almost dry

But not

Quite

Yet.

You see the sign that says wet paint

I am.

You long to touch

Leave your mark

But I

Can fix

the smudge.

You see the sign that says wet paint

I am.

Anymore

These are the last lines I'll write for you.
I've said all the words
Given all I can
They aren't enough
They aren't what I mean anymore.

These are the last tears I cry for you.
I've seen it through
Grown to know
You aren't as perfect
You aren't what I need anymore.

These are the last nights I dream of you.
It's just not the same
Gotten away
I'm free
I'm not in love with you anymore...
