Two Souls Entwined
Two souls entwined
A kiss never given
A bite
A hold
A NEW THRESHOLD
Something worth knowing
Saved
A taste
Given & gained
We find
We dance
Through
Every
Single
Lifetime
Before
This one
&
Now
We
Stand
Eyes locked
Salivating
Knowing
That this
Moment
Must last
Another
Lifetime
Before
We see
each other
again
for
one
more
taste.
Drag Racing Friday Night
When those tires bit that blacktop
Slow roast smoke green light drop
We were gone!
Side by side
Thunder & lightning
We rode those lines
For two miles
Railroad crossing jump
Two lane highway
Still side by side
That night everything was right
Then the cherries hit
Law enforcement bite
Drag racing Friday night
Won’t see you until Monday.
Instinct
I know that I have felt this way before
Twisted and turning, restless
Rolling over in bed, over & over
The phone screams another hour gone
My mind a three-ring circus performance
Of everything you told me,
A trapeze artist swinging on tears alone
You never remember the performance,
Only the price it took to get here
The lions come in and crouch
They seem to know their places
The clowns watch from the sidelines
Waiting for their chance to entertain us
They used to entertain us with their laughs
Or Emmit Kelly tears and sad face
The sidelines have become their new place
While the lions now grow restless
A spotlight continues to move around
Where is the man with the sound?
The top hat, microphone bound
A holy megaphone to the family & friends
He takes his place, while you walk in
Chair and whip in hand
It’s time for the devouring
The spotlight hits
Right where you’re standing
Sixteen hungry lion eyes
See you as only a moving spot
Skittering across the carpet
A laser pointer in a child’s hand
The cat still prowls
Crouches & pounces
On instinct
Alone
