Soul bleeds out through gashes shredded open
Ragged wounds rended open by fingernails
Release this weighted pain
Stomach burns
Lead weights
Crying out
See!
Invisible to you
Heartbeat breaks
That stutter step
And hope
Bleeding out
Floating free
poetry
What comes with knowing
Hush
Faint breathe stirs the reeds
Dance pained revelry
Somber
Placed careful step
Faint
Leaves clatter against each other
Heat sears flesh
Woke to heel slashing earth
Arms raised in supplication
Words drift to too blue sky
A hum barely heard
Clatter of bones thrust in almost flight
Catching air before crash to earth
Clothes plastered to flesh
Pushed into place
Exultation to the darkening sky
Storm clouds bully their way through the heat
Stealing the sun’s tormented pleasure
Dancers join
Quickened by succor
Lightning flashes
Half second rumble proclaims
I HAVE COME
Storm sings a lament
Tears slash open across the face of the world
Stomp, step
Seared ground
Dust splashes upwards
Displaced
Turning slowly to mud
What was called is risen
And a woken storm
Sings counterpoint
Rumble, flash
Deep throat undulations
And still they dance

Soft pressure molds the valley
I won’t touch you
Won’t sit in a dark room
Watching actors
We
Hold each other
Won’t feel your head on my shoulder
Won’t feel the pounding music bleed away
Straining for your words
Fingers trace across your skin
Kisses to lips
Forehead
Cradle your hand in mine
Kiss your palm
The uninhibited laugh at some phrase that buoys me up for days
All this
Lack
Builds
Heartbeat of need
Wells up
Breaks surface
I wear it naked in my gaze
That lingers too long on the pale sweep of your neck
Share this:
Sun held
No touch
No hand caresses
No arms hold
Thus the almost….
Almost palpable weight of heat
Pressing against flesh
Heavy
The only touch I know
Say I’m a lizard
To cover
The need
For you
For the twirls of fingers
Absentmindedly playing
For all the days of desire
Lost but for the sight
Of you
Share this:
Slow, pulling us forward
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

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
Share this:
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
Share this:
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
Share this:
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
Share this:
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
