its vapors

April 20, 2011February 23, 2015 / my secret innuendo / 16 Comments

as the mist, its vapors
turns my air
to its breath
i can feel that i knew you
once
before i knew…

you burned me
with your fire
inside:
i have always known you

and even when i did know
i didn’t know yet
yet i knew too…
that all along
you were building a mystery
that had dissolved into me

my twists, your turns

April 15, 2011February 23, 2015 / my secret innuendo / 26 Comments

i see you
only partly
and maybe later
you’ll know
the difference between
my twists
and your turns

whisper to me,
snakelike path
of wholeness…
you deserve
a view

to the end of the road

April 6, 2011February 23, 2015 / my secret innuendo / 11 Comments

words only take me to the end of the road… where feelings are footpaths… but, opening me to you and you to me… i miss you when you go… i am yours… sing to me anyway… never forget that your tears are your soul…

a
special
kind of
butterfly
in my

i adore
the way
you are
made of
stardust
as if gathered
together
for me

try to fool me

April 1, 2011May 6, 2012 / my secret innuendo / 16 Comments

you can try to fool me
fool me not
but maybe at morning
as the day begins to remind me
that day can be night if i let it
or i can move backwards
through time
deceptions as distractions
flowing through my brain
when it believes that maybe chaos does rule the world

try me, try to fool me, maybe once…
and then maybe, i’ll go to the other leftside of the moon later

your wish

March 30, 2011May 6, 2012 / my secret innuendo / 8 Comments

what is your wish?
why don’t you tell it to me
now…

so i can keep it safe in the place
where the trees know
your name

and why not tell me too
if you are for real
in a place where i am you
and you are me

did i tell you yet that you are my wish?

will i last?

March 13, 2011May 6, 2012 / my secret innuendo / 14 Comments

you changed my life
as i went numb
waking with your lightning storm
inside in my dream
your fire, outside
of me…

i wondered, silently,
will i last through this next moment
in your presence?

drawn to you, still
forever in my memory

within cells behind parts

March 11, 2011May 6, 2012 / my secret innuendo / 12 Comments

you brought me up
from the shadows
a mystery of parts
crying
a voice heard only
by the ground
healing
through air,
now whole…
balanced on me
to float
in your way you
could see what others did not
within the cells behind parts
how?

my hand

do you
know
what it
feels like
to know
that
when i hold
my hand up
to the sky…
it has your fingerprint on it?

come up for air

March 6, 2011May 6, 2012 / my secret innuendo / 14 Comments

on the mission to forever
my sun is yours
did you know it finds you
when your eyes are opened?
a seed, free to be…
floating with something
beautiful
the embers keep you alive
. . .
but i have a secret
listen
come up for air
i’m thankful that i know
what happens to seeds
who are loved

reason realized

March 4, 2011February 23, 2015 / my secret innuendo / 39 Comments

you are my soul…

i see you as i am inside
looking out
to feel
with your magical sight
positioning yourself
to give me eyes

but still i ask
who are you anyway?
i know what i know what i don’t have
do you?

you have spaces
that my spaces fit in always
leaving me speechless
you are precious and tough
i’m reaching for you

you are a smile that lasts from the first light
to the last dream of you
and for you…

to see you is to hear you
knowing this about me
ever-changing as you read
my mind
to bring me my finest moments

and so i speak to you
we are reason realized
my world inside
as my tiny roots blend with you

an anonymous soul

February 12, 2011February 23, 2015 / my secret innuendo / 14 Comments

you are a mystery and a mind who flies
among thoughts, reacting to time
in a body, yet not… memories
only a part of you because
you know there’s a space
between, that is silent
it will heal you if
you let it
speak
and know
you, before you do
for a reason unknown
but do it anyway because
it is your trip through life
we are more real every day

find a way to show me

February 8, 2011February 23, 2015 / my secret innuendo / 17 Comments

as soon as i think i know
then i remember
that i don’t…

you’re already there
don’t forget
who you are

i won’t turn anything on
or off
can i just be me?

can’t you try to keep your soul
and fill your heart
but not take mine?

you mean let the ground speak
through my feet?

you’re irresistible to me
in ways that i cannot tell

find a way
to show me

your glow

February 6, 2011February 23, 2015 / my secret innuendo / 9 Comments

your glow
it speaks
syllables
through sound to me

perceive me
receive me
move with me
in circles
outward
piercing

be gentle with me
thank you
i am me

i feel you as you are
i heard what you said
don’t go
don’t stop
you are the best part of you

it helps me sleep at night

February 5, 2011May 6, 2012 / my secret innuendo / 25 Comments

please don’t
steal my heart away
unless you know how to hold it
i think i need to keep it
close to me
for me… now

you play games
and i don’t…
don’t you see
it is all real to me?

yes i can feel your heartbeat
running through me
it helps me sleep at night
the way it whispers to me
sleep with me… i have a heart too

you sighed

February 2, 2011February 23, 2015 / my secret innuendo / 14 Comments

tell me how you do it
remaining
still
yet luring
silent…
pulsing
as a mystery
i asked for long ago
you know
i prefer no answer
because i know you
are not done yet
telling the truth
and are as honest
as the way
you were
when i first knew
in that fine moment
that with you
how could you not
be a secret…
