LaylaJune 4 Jun 2015 May I? May I sit here by your sideAnd just watch you be? May I linger for a whileEnjoying you with me? May I see you make that smileThat you used to do? The one where you look sillyThat we named after you? May I breathe the air you breatheAs we share vintage wine?And may you tell the joke you lovedThat you told all the time? May you let the game blare onWith decibels galoreThat I’m sure the Martians cheerWhen the Bruins score?...
LaylaJune 2 Jun 2015 I Never Loved You I never loved you Silently Recited in my head I never loved you Quietly Just to hear it said I never loved you Said again To speak those words out loud I never loved you Forcefully Though no one is around I never loved you Wondering When what I say is true Can be a source of pain each day And break my heart anew.

LaylaJune 26 May 2015 Chimera My mind keeps going back At times the heat was so intenseWe smoked right through the internetI dreamed of lightning when we touchedA laser’s gaze, the burn of lust No matter what went on in lifeYou filled my mind, our limbs entwinedAnd not with love that’s tender, sweetBut grasping gagging raging beasts Kisses fiercely stopping breathYou pin me downI bite your neckGetting close, then holding backYou lose your edge if you relax Laughing with a tin...

LaylaJune 17 May 2015 Steam Touching in the steam Fingertip to misted chestSliding over skinTwo smooth sweepsAround your heartEncase the heart withinThe wetness clingsUpon your lipsOur lips meet in a kissYou place my fingersTo your throatTo feel the pulse within Beads of silver fill your hairAnd at the lightest touchThey turn to droplets running intoTiny rivuletsStreaming down your shoulderThe grandeur of that curveIts surface sweetly salty So beautiful, I hurt.
LaylaJune 15 May 2015 Night Intimate simplicity You brush my hair With gentle strokesSmoothed over by your handYou lift the locks up from my neckDivide them in three strandsThen braid it loosely down my backA dark and shiny plaitYou kiss my shoulder tenderlyAs we anticipateI turn around to see your faceThe words can be unsaidYou take my handAs if to danceAnd lead me to the bed
LaylaJune 11 May 2015 Repose Together, in our own way My back against youFitting thereYour hand curves to my breastWe breathe together in a bedYour head against me restsWe try to do thisWhen we canIt’s going on for yearsAnd then we live our separate livesBut neither seems to careThis is usThis is our wayRoutine within routineWe meet, we kiss, we love, then sleepWe pledge ourselves, then leaveI think this has us satisfiedNeither asks for moreWe trust in how the other feelsDes...
