Something about him,

there is always something about him.

Something I want to touch,
and taste, and touch.
Something that has me reaching,
attempting to           touch
                                       twist
                             wrestle
                                  and taste
it has me tripping
                    falling
                        tumbling
I want to explore it
                     get lost
                          love it
                               learn to hate it

There is always something about him
Something always that intrigues me
Something always that repels me
Something always that ensnares me
and refuses to let go until it takes
layers of thickening

skin

as it comes
and always goes.

So let me touch
             and touch back
let skin graze skin
         let's break skin
                let's break bones
                       let's break hopes
and touch.

I Dig Scars

I like being able to see the past,

the marks of adventures,

bad decisions,

pain,

carved into the skin.

I like when someone else looks

on the outside

how most wouldn't guess

most of us feel;

scar tissue gets in the way

of what our world considers normalcy.

But you stand out,

you make me curious

so tell me your stories,

let me see your scars.
