Poétique

Heart of Gold

Gold in my mouth
Heart of red
On my tongue
A grizzly love
Voracious truth
I could dig a hole
To China just
To find you

All the veils
Of my ignorant inner life
Burned in the light of
My awakening
To you

All mistakes they
Melt away in the fire
Of our kiln
Radiating

Why does the sun
Look like the moon
In your eyes
Why does your kiss
Fear the plank
Of a thousand
Sweet goodbyes

You have a heart of gold
Pre Latin code
Debut to the first mark
Of a sanctuary mold
Unexplained
Requited kindness
In a spark

Richly shining

A love pond
Ruminating basin to
An offering of joy
Your illuminated selfless
Wonders conjugate
Destroy
Forms of pain into a
Heedless soft relief
With no suspicion
For contention
Nor deceit

Lying prostrate reverently
I bow to kiss your golden
Heart and at your feet
I see your beauty
Flowering

My Match

Feel the chills
Little
Every hair
Rising for you
Simple lift
Spiritual gift

Up my arms
Travel
You
Up the back
Of my neck
And down
My legs

Intensity I
Met my match
And
It was too much
To receive
In my ear
And tongue
At the roof
Of my mouth
Incomplete chords

Innocence of memory
And absence of me
Innocence of memory
And absence of me
How could it be?

I met my match
And it was
Too much
To receive

You Left

You left your glow on me
Yesterday
Now every time I see
Myself in the mirror
I turnaround to you
All over me

You left your smile on me
I can’t seem to get away
From this impression
On my face
It’s just your magic touch
I guess

You left your love with me
Because I feel two
Heartbeats beating
In my chest
Somehow you
Did this
To me

You left your warm embrace
Weighing on my shoulders
On my back
In every single particle
I feel you
Holding me
Even though you’re
Not here

You left your spell on me
And I am conjuring
The moment we can
Do it all again
Because it’s clear to me
It’s entirely your fault
I feel so good

You left me this way

When you close your eyes
Do you see me
Can you dream me floating by?
Across the screen
Inside your mind
Can you feel me
Can you reach behind
Your eyes
Do you receive me?
I am there
In every pulse
Every synapse
Contemplating you
Pondering the love you share
The touch you bare
I want you

To know I close my eyes
And see you
Floating by so warmly
Experiencing this
Like out of body
Levitation in the
Heartfelt
Waiting room
Of my mind
Traveling down
In silk vibrations
To the center of my core
Where you are
Welcome
There you are

Does it scare you
That we can be this close
Share a fervent space
This way?
Like a flower
To the earth
Like a bird
To the sky
Like a mountain
Against the horizon
I feel my best self
In your eyes

You’re a red flag
Of surprise
To the bounty of a life

Cathartic rhythm
Rising and falling
Scales and lines
Of what pure beauty
Longs to hold
When I see you
Close your eyes

Goodnight

Surrender

The ultimate surrender
Is in your arms
My lover my defender
Soothe me with the
Riddle of your
Touch
You set off my alarms
Every place

My body is your maze

Anywhere your hands
Can take you
Anywhere your breath
Will land
I am your moment
For the taking
Elated to oblige

Watch my chest
Rise up and down
Your heart beat
Feels sublime
As every
Generous word
Slips out
And carries
From your lips
No cynicism
Just your
Fingers on
My skin

Drip Drop

Drip drop
Plip plop
All the feelings
Tick tock
Raining down on me
One thing can
Change the game
Don’t get hung up
On perfect linings
Don’t let trying
To be the master
Of life stop you
Tick tock
Goes the
Clock
Time passes
What did you
Achieve today
Pressure to
Be the best
Above the rest
What is this
I make a promise
To myself
To be good
Yes that’s enough
Just be good
Ahhhh
Now doesn’t that
Feel better
Dodge the bullets
Of shame
Focus on
Protecting others
Pull out your umbrella
Invite their mothers
Under cover
Let the drops
Of perfect rain
Fall above your head
Penetrate the shield
The only perfect
Thing remains
Plip plop
Tick tock
In the drops of rain
Perfection is for
Nature
It’s not a
Human thing

Cosmic Love

I feel you crackling in my heart
Like a fire we could start
I hear you moving through my mind
Like a passion we could find
I sense you brushing past my nose
With a scent that overflows
Into a river of devotion that aligns
With every universal cosmic love design

Insatiable

Why does it make me sad to think
You cannot like me in that way
What am I hoping for
What am I wishing for
If it’s not for us to say

When you look at me
You must think that I’m a fool
To even entertain the thought
That we could have more
Than we do

I have to ask myself again
How it would actually be
If you could give me
What I’m wanting you to give
To think about you taking me

Seriously

Maybe it’s all fantasy
Something worked up in my mind
Sensations wanting
To mean more to you
More than you could ever find
It in yourself to be with me
Physically inside
Calling to your ocean
Captivated by your tide
For this
Or even just one kiss

What is it that you look for
If you search for anything
What catches your eye
Who’s in your line of sight
What does this person even
Look like?

Do you know?

Do you care if they like music
Do you care if they can dance
Does it matter how they salivate
Do you leave it all to chance?

Is it a boy
Is it a girl
That makes your whole world
Turn around
Is it the scent
Is it the smile
That runs
Imagination wild

Would you say yes to either way
Is there anything that I could say
Is there a word perhaps a look
What’s on the pages in your book?
How do I get into a chapter
How do I get onto your route
Is their a right or left direction
That could make you turn me out?

To tell the truth I think I see my love
That no it is not me
It’s just a wish
It’s just a hope
So then this is a fantasy
I should let go of
Just a day dream
Just insatiable desire
Pour some water on this moment
Douse this delusional spitfire

But still I know a part of you
I feel passion
Not just in sexuality
Intimate
And not just anyone
Has this effect on me

There’s more to know about you

All your feelings
Some of your past
But your history means less
Than the future we could have

I’ll settle for a spring romance

I watch you laugh
I see you tease
Observe your lips
With all of these
I think about what we could be
I think for you this is not what
You’re looking for
I think for you there is no deeper
Thought for more

With me

Of course I’ll always wonder if
You could want me in that way
I’m happy this if not a kiss
Is friendship too
Even if there’s still a part of me
That’s left with craving

You

Two

The morning is the same
As the night
The feeling is
Always too much
Strive for
Perfection
The only way
I know how to be
This touch

Could we find a place
To grow together
Did I offend
Myself or you
Or both of us
Being who I am
Can do that
Unexpectedly
Human

Tomorrow is bright
Today is dark
But every day
Is hopeful

And one day so are we
We are growing up
With each other
Like the devils
Tongue

Forked in two

Feeling a glimmer of hope
In the midst of darkness
Like a possibility rising
Different from the star
That brought us here

The abnormal firing
of electrical impulses
Heart to heart

Affection is
The key
What else can we be
Is this the meaning
In our speech
Please say it

Say it to me

Turn the music up
Turn the lights off
Touch my face
Feel the tears
In my embrace

Left to the living we
Cry the most
Love the deepest

Left with everything
Hungering for
More

Again

Do we gallop
Through the hearts
Of our loved ones
Do we bend down
To accept the crown
Their hope for us
Bestows

In crimson sheets
We share the space
Of eternal birth
Transitioned
And transformed
Reborn again and
Again

Mistakes that make us
Older repeating
The same if
We need to learn it over
Again

Dual harps that
Instrument
The measurement
Of what can lend
A heart to mend
Again

If we do so
Does it mean
We need to
Learn it all
Again?

Repeat what we
Do not understand
To take the hand
Of those who
Truly love us in
Multiple ways once
Again

There is no end
Even beyond
What we will
Be to one another
As lovers and
As friends

Loving caring
Being resilient
Over and over
Again
