Lips brush
eyes wide open
wet pressure building
tongues at war with each other
looking for grace in the abandon of desire
a caress of fingertips across bruised flesh
these impermanent reminders
marking you as mine
each pain a faint echo
pleasures remembered on the end of a lash
the sweet nectar of your voice
and the sweeter gift
of your submission
poetry
Tell me
a truth
something painful or happy
A notion or a story
a dream or a hope
Of depression and manic
Tell me it all, leave nothing out
Your every scar or rainbow on your soul
Just don’t leave me alone in silence
Or speak lies for want of bright words
Share this:
Shall I
Sing to you of dreams and lies
Told to the self
to make it all bearable
Or shift focus to the fragile truth
Spun sand
Held in stasis
Waiting for the softest puff of air
An edifice of fantasy and glass
Shattered foundation
Drifting towards the threshing
Of can’t have and dare not
Words cast out
Beyond caution
Always a step beyond sense
Daring you to
Match me step for step
Passion writ large beyond sanity
Beyond the wary shroud
Of past mistakes
Rushing towards you
With a sharp shout and
A whispered word
….
“Always.”

Minor chord changes
Long slow pains
That draw forth like a spool of wire
Abrading edges
Built raw and weeping
Distance burst but burning
And the slow chortle
Crossing thresholds
For doors rotted open
Hopeless by the hour
Giving way to sleep
Refuge turned sour
Even here is empty
Debris strewn
Sobs echo from quiet
Corners

Sleeping
The point at which all dreams fall apart
Time runs out behind me as life unspools
Forced by failure
By falter
Forsaken by all I would hold close
Forgotten on the black sand shores of memory
Slipping away even from self
A sleep away from without you

Reminders
see yourself through my eyes
See what I see
feel my heart
Without suspicion
free to know yourself
Free to follow
healing
Accept all of you
Always
There is no other way
to love
Share this:
Space between fingers
power and grace
Complexity
focused on desire
move at my command
expecting mock anger
instead
smile and comply
teasing each other
with what we desire
me to control and her to comply
a hands breadth away
and a lifetime
Share this:
Looking for a future
kiss the palm of your hand
To hold it to my beating heart
Trail kisses until our lips meet
Eyes holding
Shivering with choices we’ve yet to make
Share this:
Layers
Each strata leads deeper
Each mystery a step
Down the rabbit hole
Until we stand
Secrets laid bare
I
And You

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
