Mercenary

What people forget is
How we can love deeply
Without sex and in that love
Can be deeper than the
Love you have with someone
You have had sex with
Why is it so important
For you to know that depth
Like a soldier of fortune
Why does it matter to me
So much to have you
Know just how deeply
I can love a person
How much I love
What difference will it make
In my life if I believe you
Understand how deeply I love
It’s indescribable for me to
Know that someone knows
And I believe that you are
Actually capable of understanding
Likewise you may have
Some other
Knowledge or perspective
On this that
I do not
As a
Soldier with a mission for love
I’m grasping at the straws
Of my youth wanting to
Share it with you so you can live
Through the music loving it too
Wishing you could feel it
In the same way I do
Sharing deeply
In my utmost honesty I will probably
Never know if you actually comprehend
How much I love you
You say it’s not for me to know
But the truth is that
I can never know
If you have received the absolute
Depths of my love
With ability
In the way I intended
Inadvertently
I can only hope
That you do

Castle

Sitting atop a dark hope
I am happily bleak
What fire of light
Would burn through
A tunnel of vision if these eyes
Were empty nests
Where birds could land
Make a home and
Begin an aviary kingdom
Together my beloved
Should I find the egresses
Blinded by your arches
Missing the container
Where do I rest my head
Which earthly shoulder fits this cheek
My hands undress the boundaries
I have laid upon my skin
The fortress is bare
My castle is exposed
All armies are down
I surrender my crown
To takeoff in your love

Powergift

I inhale pain
I exhale love
And the flowers surround
My family tree

Of

Friends and lovers
Siblings and mothers
Sisters and fathers
Cousins and
All the others

When it feels like
There is nothing left
In front of me
When she holds her cigarette
Nervously
Shaking in her emotions
Ruptured and quaking

Asking what to do
When she questions
What difference
Is this making if
Her heart is compromised
How do we access
The power
That flies
Away from us?

Digging deep down
Into the soil
Where the roots
Have never spoiled
No crown rot
No sick spot
Where love is
More than enough

Irrepressible existence
Rituals illuminated
Within a gnarled state
Twisting from the bottom up
Rejecting cracks
The basis for
A good defense

I hold a powergift
In my hands

A place to mend
A space to build
A promise yields
An unborn fruit
Nature has been careful
Not to mention
Only forbidden
If we take it all
For granted

Open your heart
And read the seed
Knowledge has
Planted

Hope rises up
A powergift
Will be extracted
