Each strata leads deeper
Each mystery a step
Down the rabbit hole
Until we stand
Secrets laid bare
I
And You
Poems
Hopes fruition…
Slip awake to distant dream
From feel of warmth and skin to skin
To this cold remembering
This desperate touch of dream
Of eyes held
Of hands clasped fingertips
Of silence pressed out
Thin on the edge of shattering
The heat of our bodies
Mismatched
But minds touching
Quantum entanglement
The spark originates
Then traverses this bridge
Bound eternal in our spinning
The sound of breathing
The rise and fall
You sleep on.
And seeing
Feeling you
Know stability amongst chaos
Share this:
Wicked grins and knowing glances
Claimed and laid claim
But all just a game
Built empty this hollow
I can’t myself, follow
Led by desire
For some I don’t tire
Romance not wanted
I tried and I hunted
But deception works deeper
My delusion, my deceiver
Indulging in pleasure
It’s what passes for treasure
From a palate grown mired
In broken desires

You
In mid afternoon I retreat
In a quiet house
I soaked in the sun
Heat sinking deeply
I hold my hands flung out
Eyes closed
And for a moment
You are there with me
Time hanging
Still
Silent
Share this:
Slow steps
spin in madness
silk dancing on the wind
sweetened wine and drunken song
maddened revelry
music softening
slow circles
nose to nose
looking into eyes
intimacy amidst distraction
shortened pulses and wandering hands
lips in warmth and tasting
arms circled
in dances beginning
Share this:
Give and take
There is nothing I can give you
And nothing I can take
A shadow long and burning
A moment ere I wake
But I am lost to dreaming
I am lost, it’s true
The dream is of my making
Of building more to you
I am softly waking
A moment I’m confused
Your warmth has long fled
This heart we built for two
On waking I am empty
A space too big to fill
Your heart is slightly broken
But I have seen much worse
I will patch you up
Be a Latticework
You will heal
And when you leave
I will be undone
but a little fuller too
I will hold the hope that wounded birds
Made whole and now to fly
Will remember that broken man
And visit time to time
And secret kept in heart of hearts
That one will wish to stay
The foolish hope that brings,
And holds the reckless
tears at bay
Share this:
A slow intake of breathe
I shall be a lie amidst truth
A heart too full for wanting
A silence too kind and twisting
Harsh breathe slipping in
Awake in the fullness
Filled with bursting
Tensions breaking
Not an ease but the wrecking
Pulled tight past bearing
Quiescent heart you were my reaping
My need a cold wind against burned skin
A balm and pain on pleasures raging edge.

The forbidden
These little games we say
Bound up
In shadow play
Words caught in mind
Scenes played out
In glances
Scent the air
With raw desire
Hands seconds from each other
Haunt my dreams
Stoke fires higher
Until a glimpse
Spills out
on the page
Wet rush
Sound of leather on skin
The soft crack
A sound stifled
By a bitten lip
Red and ginger
Sitting is the reminder
A void of remember
Just our words on the screen
Share this:
Summer Rain
Raindrops like imperfections in glass
Looking out to faded grey sky
Light and patches drifting
She sits in the car next to me
Relaxed and leaning back
This woman I never talk to
Sharing this time
Always apart
Lacking even the courage to say hello
Or burst this fantasy that she shares this roof because looking at the sky is worth It
Worth the heat and the distance
She’ll exit her car, I’ll watch her walk away
Silent
Listening to summer rain.
