Sweet Malibu skin
I’m high on your summer scent,
Drunk on your juices
Ryan Stone
California Peach
Wild is the Wind
She sets down her pen
Chaos and joy tumble in
Her boys and the wind
Ryan Stone
Mermaid
In chartreuse waters
His floundering ship is lost
Eyes across the bar
Ryan Stone
Cats in love
A shining wind twirls
Lazy twisters in her hair
Here, wild roses bloom
Ryan Stone
Lovestruck
He devoted years
To becoming bulletproof
She was a sniper
Ryan Stone
Housework
Her mop’s rhythmic stroke
A bondage unlike the kiss
Of sweet leather nights
Ryan Stone
Untamed
Oh, the wild places
Tattoo parlors, biker bars
Your lips in the night
Ryan Stone
Night Music
Blood moon,
cold witness to
this tune
I sing
to the night. I’m
missing
old dreams-
her face, pale as
moonbeams.
Ryan Stone
Salute
Silent tears at dawn
My half-mast heart in tatters
London Bridge is down
Ryan Stone
For a time
For a time
You were everything.
Your smile
Lit sparks
That raced
Down my spine,
My heart skipped a beat
When you
Spoke to me.
The world paused
So we could run free.
You seemed so divine
For a time.
Things always change.
Forever’s a dream,
Every summer
Has rain.
I stopped being
The light in your world,
Once again
You’re a mystery girl.
I know you’ll find love,
I know you’re not mine,
But I want you to know
I was yours
For a time.
Ryan Stone
