free bird

there was once a key that opened this locket
the gold became dull and looks more like brass...
dirty and antiquated
it fails to represent what i once felt for you
as the minutes disappear, slowly, constantly
the love i thought i needed fades
into a distant clouded memory

clasped tight is this chain,
dangling, resting against my beating chest
it vibrates close to my skin
cold metal warms
and my real heart continues to sing

drum like, fast and vibrant
i'm full of life, happy and free
uncaged i turn the key
to my own happiness...

love spell

this pink bottle filled with love
handle it with care
it is luminous and glitters
as you hold it in your hands

finger and thumb meet the jewel top
opened the soft vanilla scent escapes
and the sweet vapor disappears

inhale the sensual goodness and
become instantly delirious
exhale and nearly faint

captivated by your smile
drunken by your laugh
this spell is magical
and so is the twinkle in your eyes
