Kissing her
is warm wet
dangerous magic.
Her mouth
conjures
a storm
inside me.

Absence makes the heart growl, "Find her.

When you meet the one
who changes the way
your heart beats,
dance with them to that rhythm
for as long as the song lasts.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich
β
Her scent
on the sheets
slowly fading
like the last notes
of your favourite song
drifting into silence;
a ghost of absence
haunting the room

I don't want some other man's version of perfect.
I don't want society's perfect.
I want my perfect.
I want you.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich
β
I will love you
past your doubts
if you can love me
past my faults.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
Burn my eyes with a smile,
my hands with your skin,
my heart with your love,
my soul with your sin.
Be the raging fire
that lies within.

β
She is both
the bookends
and the stories between.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
She sees me.
Even when I'm not there.
Even when I don't see myself.
Even when I hate what I see.
She sees me.
For me.
For us.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
She is both my madness and my sanity.
She is the calm quiet eye of my storm.
She is the whisper in the maddening din.
She is a rare mix of dirty mind, exquisite beauty, curves that make your hands ache, deep heart and mischief that you want for your own.
She is peace in the shape of a woman.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
She's unearthed words
buried deep inside me
where I kept them
hidden
with my hope
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
I wish for once
that she could see
the her that I can see;
beauty that both
steals my breath
and gives it back to me.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
She has the kind of beauty that shames your understanding of the word.
She is the waking dream I've had for so long.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
I crave you
Like hunger
Like thirst
Like madness
And, nothing
Will sate or slake
Or, make me sane
But you.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
She has the kind of beauty that takes your breath from your lungs, tears from your eyes and speeds your heart each time you look at her.
She has the kind of beauty reserved for works of art, where men spend years of their life mastering their craft to replicate.
She is beauty, stunning, transcendent, right down through to the bone, the unfathomable depth of her heart.
She is Muse. She is wonder. She is sublime.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
Her beauty is a deluge
washing my soul.

β
You are not
an afterthought.
You are
an everythought.

Let's burn our past down
and make something better
from its ashes.
β
β

β
All I want is
to lie down
next to you
until
our bones
are dust.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
I can't resist her anymore than the waves can resist crashing against the shore.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
You're everything
I've ever wanted
And, nothing I don't need.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
Every move,
every sigh,
every moan;
everything
you do
for me
is poetry
from your soul
to mine.
You are
my favorite read.

He knows
full well
what her pain
will cost.
The map
to her treasure
which he
has lost.

It hurts to breathe when we crush our hearts in each other's hands. But, it's the only handhold we still have on us.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
I wish for once that she could see the her that I can see; beauty that both steals my breath and gives it back to me.

He fell
from the sinking ship
to the roiling sea
of uncertainty,
into the hands
of the one mermaid
who knew exactly
how to save him.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich
β
A girl
with eyes
like forever
and a mouth
that makes forever
not nearly long enough.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich
β
Fall.
My words will guide you
softly
down into
the safety
of my arms.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
My heart isn't Tiffany.
It's made of broken dreams
strung together with hope.
But, it sings her name
from the bottom
of my junk shop heart.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
She consumes me
like a bright fire
burning deep
within my ribs.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
She is every good childhood memory happening at once.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
I would pour out
the contents
of my heart
and set it all aflame,
just to hear
her impossible mouth
slowly moan
my name.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
Sie ist meine Augen.
Sie ist meine Herz.
Sie ist meine Lieb.
Sie ist meine Schmerz.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
Her eyes
Her body
Her heart
Makes me believe
In magic
In destiny
In myself
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
Her pulse in my palm
across her elegant throat
is the loveliest melody
God ever wrote.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
Choke
me to death
with the hands
of the man
who hurt you.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
Help me
write us
a new ending
to the best story
I've ever read.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
Her sweet soft skin,
her gentle curves
are the warm, safe home
my hands deserve.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich
β
I still have hope
that one day
someone will
walk next to me
the rest of the way.

Youβve made yourself at home in my mind; this cozy nook with half-read books and records spilling their warm magic into the air, and from an open window comes that river rush that is my blood speeding with thoughts of you.

β
I am her heartbreak at night.
I am her tears come the dawn.
I am her all that was right,
now turned horrible wrong.
I took her happy away,
replaced with an ache so strong.
I made her regret the day
she played me her favorite song.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
I miss you. I miss the me you make me. I miss the we you and I made. I miss the way your skin fits my hands. I miss the way your eyes fire at my grin. I miss the soft dawn whispers holding your warmth close and your lips closer. I miss the hundred sundry sublime moments that you have given me. I miss it all. I miss everything. I miss us.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
Whatever becomes of us Iβm glad you happened to me. Because you made me realize there was a me worth you inside of me.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)

Help me write us a new ending to the best story Iβve ever read.

β
My words were all I had to touch her with now each caress an unkind cut raising yet another scar on the soft flesh of her broken heart.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
She runs through the wheat field of my mind caressing the tops with her soft hands that every last grain bears the taste of her.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
Used bookstore. Your back against the stacks. Skirt hiked. Panties pushed aside. You wet my fingers as I turn your pages and read your mind.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich (Junk Shop Heart)
β
Diffuse light holding your curves in a delicate chiaroscuro. The tender valley just below your hip bone, my fingers just tucked below lace. Your neck as it dovetails into the shoulder, the pool between it and your collar bone. Above your heart, my heart, gleaming bright in the glow of morning. The slope rising from your lower back down to where it disappears into your leg, beckoning me with your smooth warm silk skin. A smile breaking across your cheeks, eyes, glorious mouth. Dark spun satin smoke framing deep soulful eyes that crackle with mischief, promise. But, if I had to pick a favorite thing on you... It would be my hands.

She is that song
the one you listen to
at least twice
every time it comes on
and you find
something new to love
each time
and you find
you are mesmerized
by the beauty
and you find
you are singing along
and smiling.
β
β
Kirk Diedrich
β
I'll take you to the very edge.
Beg me to send you over.
Float you softly down
To my waiting arms.
Make you feel
Cherished,
Desired,
Loved.

Kirk Diedrich
β
I donβt want to go to bed with her.
I want to wake up with her.
And, that
makes all the difference
