love – Page 12 – Poétique

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

Can You Hear

Can you hear the song
The way that I hoped when I sent it
Can you feel my love
The way that I meant when I sent it
Can you understand me when
I look at you with silent eyes
Does the sun rise in your heart
When I send you all my sparks
Can you feel the heat in the ground
When I’m dancing with my feet
Thump thump pound pound lo lo
Love is the sound that we’re making
Love is the rhythm we’re creating
Isn’t the passion excruciating
Thump thump pound pound lo lo
Loves’ echoes shaking your body
Embracing you tightly
Morning and nightly
The sun’s shining brightly
Embracing you tightly
Morning and nightly
The sun’s shining brightly
Walking beside you keeping up
With your love if I’m high or I’m sober
Run with that feeling over and over
In my mind you’re in my mind
My body is your body can you feel
My sincerity trusting me
Waterfall all over you

Cadre

A house of cards
Waiting to fall
Tempted to break
Deturpate
A vile place to
Care for humanities
And our rights
By overshooting
Toreador
To the soufflé
A dirty kitchen
All my eggs in one basket
I insisted on biscuits
Peanut butter and jelly
When will the truth
Finally come out
We all bleed the same
Can we love from over there
Do we have to hurt
Devastate one another
Just to hold one another again
Maybe imperfectly so

Friendship

Friendship
Acquaintances
Friendly distances
Social Media retains
Networking disdains
Casual friends
Hang out refrains
Shared interests
Light hearted conversation
Low pressure no pressure
Close friends
Emotional support
Trust sends
Consolation like a letter
Inside jokes or better
Quality time undefined
Advice in time
Love sublime
Accountability is renowned
Lifelong friends are
Steadfast and recounted
Shared experiences
Belonging and undoubted
Close like family
Timeless tree
Where you left off
Lifelong memories begin
Showing up for each other
In the ebbs and flows
As we grow up and it echos
Through our life paths

Satellite

May I take you into my confidence?
I am a witness to so many moments
Man sweeps front porch blue broom
Have I failed you in some way
Like a serial offender over and over
Can you find forgiveness in the prowl
Hunting beneath the moon for
A romantic entanglement to
Heal the wound back and forth
Every upside down cloud floating
Upwards to the sound of our
Heartbeats wrapped in a turquoise sky
My eyes are flames and yours pooling
My hands are summer and yours winter
I keep you warm you keep me cool
An Old Norse carving in the wood
Of our hearts in the tree lines that
Report back to the earth grounded
In light suffocated by love the world
Returns back the echo of our love in one
Gigantic Doppler radar that is pulsating
In extraterrestrial dimensions

Atomic Love

I haven’t woken up
In someone else’s bed
In quite awhile
Like it’s going out of style
Maybe a distraction
Like this is just what
We need to feel
Good about everything
That seems to be falling
Apart around us
Wake up somewhere
Random in the arms
Of some unknown
Some soon to be known
Something more exciting
Something other moment
Than the dull mishaps
The boring blunders
Everyday exoplanetary
Atmospheres volcanic
Eruptions causing mental
Destructions body-quakes
Noctilucent heart clouds
A night shining of
Atomic love

Picnic

My killer my lover
There is no one above you
You end all my pain
My sacrifice is our total
Enrapture like red ink
On rose petals pressed
Parchment reed paper
Spiraling out of control
Heart racing faster
No sheer equivalent to
The rush of our love
My angel my attendant
Every second on Earth
Our last breaths I would
Spend it with you
Swinging back and forth
Like a pendulum at the end
Of a telephone cord
Hello? Are you there?
In the case at the end
Of the table you will find
A key to my heart and
A bottle of wine my
Redemption lies at the
Foot if the bed and my
Tears are the salt beneath
Your feet carry me far
Carry me away a flight
To Paris or some back
Country road out of the way
La Bièvre ou
Étang de La Geneste
Not far from Versailles
I could cry, I could cry
I could cry my lover
My sister, my brother
My intentions are full and
Our story will beg to be told

Regale

Regale us with your
Gorgeous tongue sweetly
Wagging out those sugary
Words spun to make the
Heart melt in an instant
Hands together we decide
When we make up our mind
We wake up our kindness
To hear what the heart said
And we are so much happier
Impossible love made possible
By the ability to see through
Everything that will stand
In our way we are light
We are darkness we are
Yin and Yang we are
Imparted by soul-hearted
Connection in every way

Turbine

A departure from what was
I lost site of all the love
Keeping head above water
Drowning in a sea of mystery
Where will the end come
How many marks on the
Chalkboard have I yet to
Still become and crest no sight
Of the beginning unto the end
A lost friend and a new page
A book for history to gift away
For the ages long after I am
Gone and back to the wind
I carry on and soon begin
Again to find the turbine
That blows me back into
The arms of love

Anyway

We can’t laugh
Bad love
About anything
Because it’s not
Good love
Funny if people
Get arrested or if
We love
Something bad
Happens when we
Feel love
Get arrested but
We’re not supposed to
True love
Get arrested
Anyway
