Forked tongue

You've met him before, that guy
He knows just what to say
When to say it and just how to say it
Stringing words beautifully
They caress you, touch you deep
You fight to keep your lady
Preserve your pristine
His words sinful, but licorice
Begging you to indulge

Yeah, you've met him
Every sentence stripping you
Closer to bare, every word off his tongue
Snatches breath from your lungs
Every poised breath, deliberate speech
Breaking you down, making you weak
Your lips say no, barely
Body screams yes, loudly

Yeah, you've met him
Occasionally you wish you had not
Damn it, his words
Sound so sweet to your ears
Feel gentle to your skin
Every now and then you want to let him in
Let thoughts become things
A careless fling
Yeah, you've met him before, that guy

Happy Season - carnival junkie

The Adventurer



Atlantis



Oh yes it is here - one of the jolliest times of the year - the time of year where I get giddy and lose yet another small piece of my mind (and I freaking love it). The band launched on Saturday and I was center stage (literally) - I had a blast and that began the carnival season for me. God, I love this time of year - the feels of excitement and wonderment, the atmosphere, can not be aptly described with words. Yes, once again it is here - and I am thankful that I am alive to see it and plan on enjoy every minute, every beat, every bass drum, horn, sound, smell - every freaking aspect of carnival.
