She was his present Wrapped with a red bow Placed under the tree Ready to be open and played with I’m late for 12 days of Christmas countdown, but I’ll aim for a short story/poem from now until Christmas. Hopefully it’ll jump start my creativity and your imagination.
Stifled my mind is clouded bubbling and roiling a creative ocean too stormy to produce I simply ride the high waves and pray for the shore
I wish we could’ve been effortless A little more effort from you A little less demanding from me Now we’re finding what we deserve I deserve someone who wants my affection You deserve someone’s attention you want
sweetly on the lips with a lingering touch to say “I’ll kiss you again soon” even when we say goodbye
I am a giver Offering parts of me Praying you’ll receive Love, want, appreciate My gifts
In the grip of irrational fear Reality through a distorted lens Swimming in a world colored by uncertainty
Whisper those perfect words Bite hard at my lip Speak the truth that Defies my logic Reach deep inside Show me That time with me Is always time well spent
You breathe life into me sinking into my being I ache for the next taste For the way you linger on my lips
Maybe I’ve grown Learned to go slow Focused on closing my mouth Worked on opening my mind And maybe the less I say The more this could be I hold on I let go And maybe this will surprise me Maybe…
I’m very much captivated Drawn deeper by the cadence of your voice I forget myself and let the smile bloom Let the walls drop just a little Let my mind linger on you I’m stripped bare before hungry eyes Will you devour me… savor me… enjoy my sweetness… I’m laid out, eager for you …
