A steam-filled invitation to partake of your wonders. The scent of lavender fills the air as I move closer to you. Your soothing touch beckons me. Slowly, I remove this armor. Piece by piece. Until I stand, cold and naked before .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/238856/ Come take a ride and ye shall see I am thy knight with noble steed Here to save thee from toil and grief I'll smite thy foes and bring relief My hearts desire is to be at thy side protecting thee always though enemies deride The gift of thy love is my only reward as.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/233920/ The moon shone down upon us where the ocean met the shore. As we laid there on the sand and dreamt of what's in store. Gently blew the ocean breeze that coolly kissed your cheek. A chill ran through your body, so I helped you to your feet. I put my arms around you in a strong a.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/233914/ Mommy please don't yell I don't know what to do I am just a little boy Who couldn't tie his shoe Mommy please don't yell I didn't mean to touch I am just a little boy And liked it very much Mommy please don't yell I promise I won't speak I am just a little boy I swear I'll .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/233911/ I long to hold her in my arms and never let her go but timid am I and that is why my feelings I don't show She is like forbidden fruit growing on a tree out of reach or so they preach to a fool such as me Should I journey on a path which suddenly may end to risk it all .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/232688/ Does she or does she not? I honestly don't know. She says she does with words, but never lets it show. How can I really tell, what she's feeling inside, when all her emotions she consistently hides. I gaze into her eyes, searching for a spark. In a faint hope to prove that .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/232687/ I may not be as fast. I may not be as strong. I may not know just what to do, and so I did it wrong. I may not be as smart. I may not play the game. I may not be just like him, I don't want to be the same. Just because I'm different, Please don't treat me bad. Because when yo.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/232686/ I met the woman of my dreams while standing in the rain. She smiled and I knew at once That she could ease my pain. Her hair was long and golden and shone bright as mid-day sun. Then she smiled as if to say, it has only just begun. Her lips were red and luscious. Her countenanc.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/232007/ Can there be a Someone who's out there just for me? Searching just as I am for love to set her free. Is she out there dreaming of a man that she can't find? One who'll love her deeply, her body, soul and mind Will I ever meet her? I haven't any clue. How do you find the one .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/232003/ Can this be real? I wish that I knew. This pain I feel, how can it be true? I do not bleed. There is not a bruise. Yet, there is pain; hence, I'm confused. The pain in my chest invades my being, Yet no outward signs shall you be seeing. Except, just perhaps, the look .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/232001/ When he says, "I love you", It always brings me joy Knowing I was blessed With such a special boy He will say it often, Several times each day And it makes me wonder Why we all can't be that way. Unafraid to say it At home or in a crowd And he never whispers .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/231996/ Will you be my Valentine Will you press your lips to mine Will you hold me close to you Will you make my dreams come true Can I taste your tender kiss and feel the heat of passion's bliss To your love I'll build a shrine if you'll be my Valentine Yes I'll be your Valentine and .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/231993/ Sometimes I wonder, as I sit all alone; how I can love you in ways never shown. To tell you the secrets I long to share. To hold you and tell you how much I care. When I am with you the words pass me by. My heart is a flutter I feel I could fly. My life is renewed. My.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/231985/  I walk along beside him, taking three steps to his one. Just trying to keep up because he's so much fun. I want to do as he does, so I follow where he goes. And do my best to learn everything he knows. In life he is my hero, for there's nothing he can't do. Daddy, whe.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/231980/  I slumber not, yet still I dream as thoughts of you prevail. Your beauty haunts my mind and on my heart assails. Those sapphire pools draw me in to drown me in thy gaze and shroud my heart completely in a warm and loving haze. The memories of your touch ignite the fires.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/231979/ As we walk along the shore and feel the ocean breeze we dream of life yet to come and let our minds roam free We share a laugh and a smile or two we walk and talk and gaze at the moon I hold you close and caress your hand while we're watching the surf hit the sand We da.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/231977/ As a boy of four I seldom have a care, but I had to notice my neighbor sitting there. On his porch he sat in silent disbelief. Unable to control or even hide his grief. Tears ran down his face. His heart filled with sorrow. Not sure if he would live to see a new tomorrow. .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/231459/ I watch in silence as love leaves the room, the battle has started and won't be over soon. Each angry word spoken cuts right through my heart and I can't help but wonder, why my world is falling apart. The two that I love most, my mommy and my dad, are in that room fighting .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/231454/ This photo-negative slice in hues of black and gray, represents a life, that's sadly gone astray. Walking in the darkness, alone and full of doubts. A heart so dark and lonely, is unable to cry out. Poor decisions made, Their course now firmly set; lead me down this road of.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/231451/ In silence he moves like many nights before. To take a precious angel and use her like a w***e. Her trust he has betrayed to fill a void inside. Now she has nobody in whom she can confide. He leaves the way he came while silently she weeps, unable to reveal this secret that.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/230848/ I wrangle around the living room rounding up strays on this old broom. With sixguns tied around my waist and a mess of bad guys I must chase. I hop a long with my guns blazin' never sure of what dangers I'm facin'. An ambush is waitin' around that bend I'll bet it's that dang Sponge .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/230846/ Alone I stand in silence In defiance of time In spite of it I remain strong Upright  I am battered I am bruised I am here I am a survivor http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JaxsonPhoenix/230845/
