If it were as simple as sex
But I don’t know how to be easy
How to do uncomplicated
Wind my heart
In sympathetic binding
Draw you close
Hoping for more
Because less was never my forte
Always that extra step
Slow but forward
The maelstrom quiets
Waiting for response
Drowning out words
Borne of hope
In the tracery
Of eyes
Poems
Symphonies begin with a single note
Precision breaks down
Passion steals fire
Tendons writhe waking
Dreams
Inside
Two become whole
Surface from what was to
Shattered silence
Artless in frenzied glory
Panting breathe spilling out
Just begun
Let time stop
Waves and undulations
Wake tired minds
Demonstrate harsh lessons
In gentle bites
Hands making
What the foolish call sin
Lust wakes in the heart of love
Turn banked fires to lava
Inexorable
Until spent
Again and again
Skin and mind too sensitive to continue
Hold you close
Taste sweat
Quench thirst
Never enough
I am an obsession
I am an obsession
A candle made flesh
Fire builds to conflagration
Consuming
Consuming
Consuming
Until all flesh pulses
Desire waking
More
More
More
Never enough
Until all fuel is destroyed
And waking from the dream
Find myself alone
Bereft of her
Unable to see futures
Who would love destruction
Who would dare stand in fire
Colors the mind sees, the eyes cannot
Days pass
Distance from the gravitic impression
Left by the indelible memories
Of holding you, your head on my shoulder
My head on yours
Smelling you under shampoo
Kisses to the top of your head
Clasping hand and kisses to palm
Memories burn like the sentinels of Gondor
Calling out
This distance between then and then
Making it harder to think
To breathe
Your anger
Your fury
Pointed as a sword to the sky
A call to arms
And I slip further into the chasm
Your blush
Your laugh
That impish smile
Brat tongue daring me to act
Fraying my control
And still
So close to frenzy
I wait
Calm
Storing those ideas
Those thoughts
Behind doors of stone
Waiting for the moment
When all will be
And like a never quenched torrent
Suffuse you
Wake and be mine
If only for a moment
Sands shift, reveal a garden
Baking sorrow in the summer sun
Sitting there empty
Bereft of purpose
Echos sing out
Ghosts of laughter
Those sad eyes
Tears stain
Give evidence of what’s past
The pain of no longer belonging
Bright birds run in waves
Howls ring out
And still this hollow empty
Heartbeat stills
Hopes fade to forgetting
Painful pleading through scars
Just a memory
Of what should have been
Lullaby for my Kat
Curl up beside me
My little kitty kat
The day is mostly over
It’s time that we sat back
The sun is shining on, some other person’s day
For us the night is ending
But now we know to stay
Cause arms are for the holding
And sleep draws us away
But oh,
When we are waking
Look on my face
And know
Though life can feel like breaking
I’ll be in my heart making
A place for you to stay.
Finding out
Heart beats faster
Words limp out
Tentative
Scared
Silent for a moment
Feels like a sussura
That cut sharp enough to cleave air
Create silence
Slow
However you need
Slow
More time to know
Slow
More time to build
Slow
More time
Slow
More you
*boop *
Yes
Silent screams, unbidden, burst
Get used to the pain of being near you
Being so close and unable to grasp you close
This weight
Heartbeat clenched
Unnoticed until a touch sparks release
Light and silent
About what this feeling means
Lump in throat
Fear of what you’ll say
So many times before
Saying it
That spasm
The rictis smile
The I don’t think of you that way
The slow fade
But feelings denied break out
Break down in unexpected ways
It’s coming
And soon
I’ll find my voice
And speak
And wait
Heart heavy
Waiting for the event horizon
Heat reveals the hidden
Bound bones to heat
Shiver flesh
Mind quests out
Knowing she can’t feel my thoughts
Do I speak them?
Dare I?
Or am I lost to dreaming
That hopes be more than wanting
That words be for the speaking
But tongue and hands
They for showing
Come
Touch
And know the flames of my heart
