in many cultures
from the east and to the west
the legends exist
mythical creature
a serpent scaled and bat-winged
knowing onyx eyes
glorious in flight
fantastic beast or monster
just misunderstood
tears fall like raindrops
releasing a deep held breath
is fire in the sky
All things considered im doing okay
I'm still alive, still breathing
Im moving on, albeit slowly
All things considered I haven't broken yet
Even when i wanted to
And everything is gonna be okay
All things considered.
It was in the way you kissed me
It was in the way you said my name
It was in massages
It was in you letting me stick my face in your butt
It was in i love you more fights
It was in letting me pick the movie
It was in surprises
It was in nightly lullabys
It was in beached whales and belly blows
It was in tickle fights
It was in making dinner for me
It was in the way you know my secrets
It was in angry flicks
It was in ball dancing outside McDonald's
It was in you letting me rest my ankles between your legs even though it hurt
It was everything
It was all the small things
It was in the way you loved me

Sorry I Stole Your Husband
I'm not wearing anything beneath my dress
I whisper to you in the dark
These are the words that finally get your attention
Oh really? you ask as your eyes light up
I take your hand and slide it slowly up my bare thigh
Slowly, achingly slowly, until we reach the bare skin
Between my thigh
And the part of me that is burning for you
As I brush your fingers through the hair between my legs
You look at me in surprise
You really aren't
I smile seductively and push my chest a little forward
Your dress is showy. It's teasing me.
I cannot believe how bold I am
As I slide my halter over my head
Exposing my breasts to your gaze
By the light of
A smile hangs desperately on my face
Like a door with one hinge
My eyes try to shine like the sun through a window
But the glass is caked with mud and dirt
Positive words whistle shrilly and disappear, useless and unheard
Like a draft in the basement
My heart tries to beat but it only creaks
Like the dusty floorboards
Remnants of ash from a long forgotten fireplace
Fill my nostrils, my throat
Until I suffocate
But still I try to sing
I sing like the flowers in the garden aren't dead
I sing like the Christmas lights
That have been hanging for months, years
Are not long since burnt out
I sing like the paint isn't peeling and you can't see the d
by light of moon
travel the changing lands
drawing a map
holding the lands briefly
so they can come closer
draw a crossroads
so you can meet at last
draw them on your map
and let it change
