Want to float in your arms
Last remnants of hope bleeding out
Let me have this fantasy
Synced with you
Joyous with knowing
Minutes flow by having found
Sanctuary
Knowing it for false
Still
Wouldn’t it be nice
To have those memories
poetry month
Quartered
Bound to these borders
A petty king
Time holds hostage
While she dances to spring
This symbol
Break the read
Longing for the first breath of ice

Notes half heard in the distant
The music swells on the parqeu dance floor
Watch you move in the arms of your pain
These verse and step burn
As amphora napalm rounds
Scatter and ignite
Helpless to change these echoed shades
Trapped behind glass
I watch
Share this:
Nerve less fingertips
Dragged down like a slow moving gazelle
Lethe drowns
Last remnants drift
Replaced by a song
A dream
And arms to hold
But only in dreams
Share this:
Uncertain meetings
I wonder at your sidelong looks and smiles
Your throat full of questions unasked
Am I putting motivations into your actions
I suppose we’ll never know
As we maintain this detente
Too many maybes
Not enough yes
Share this:
Not the no man’s land
Stomach roils
Unrealized stress bubbles up
Coating and churning
Wish you’d all stop dick waving
Leaving me to do my work
Pointless assertions of control
This will all turn out better
If you’d keep your nose out
Consider the effort of trying to control me
Better to leave me to my work ethic

What am I doing awake
4am has become my 2am
Awake because I fell asleep exhausted
Phone falling out of my hand exhausted
Trying to make up for lost hours
Perpetuate the cycle
Talking too much and just want to sit silent
My words spread out
But I just want a hand to hold
I’ve done all this talking
Reams of words
Circling
Around and around
Poor substitute for your body against mine
Your breathe on my neck
But I’m so tired of casual
Bored with it all
Just want someone to love me
Before the last hammer falls
Share this:
Ebullient voice, rise!
Flung away knowing uncertainty
Until harsh ground makes truth known
But instead of the crush of worlds ending
Dance free as a wind
Heart light rising up
Tethered by naught but these tenuous strands
Of possible impossibility
Arrayed like building blocks
I reach forth my hand
And set
The cornerstone
Let this time be joy
Shouted from lips long silent
Share this:
Let passion flow through
Speak of rhythm and rhyme
Make music in body, in soul
Dance to melody
As silk cut from your shoulders
Floats twisting to the bedroom floor
Each turn building until
Smiling
We are made whole
Take hand in mine
Ungainly until Unfettered
Move hips and roll body
Looking for yours
In the spaces between us
Locking in place like snapped puzzle pieces
Eyes drinking in
And the beat
And the beat
And the beat
Begins

Dashed off in time
Don’t have much time
To settle this rhyme
Gotta go to a meeting
And it sure won’t be fleeting
Gotta write to live
But working the hive
Is the way to pay bills
Wish ideas made money, Fa’reals
