love – Page 13 – Poétique

Touching

So many moments palmy
Wrapped up like honey
Sticky and holding tightly
To the echt delicious notion
We will find ourselves
Munificently dangling
From the edge of our
Commingled existence again
Was it just the possibility
That I could find you
Unequivocally on the other
Side of all that smoke
Running faster towards
You before your heart
Gave way to the attack
Of our love like a medical
Condition the leftovers
From our legacy will be
Defined by our passion
And not by the inability
To keep going on
Holding strong to one
Another same as the glue that
Holds the water to the earth
Perhaps the gravity of
Our love was an experiment
In life and death
An experiment in memories
That live on even without
Our continued participation
Frozen in time worn and
Damaged suspension
Components of eternal love
So many moments palmy
Swarming around the comb
Of our honey with our
Backs against the beach
Tears streaming down our faces
Just as the stars reach out
To one another without
Ever really touching

Knots

Untie me
Loosen up my knots
All the perplexity
My spiraling contortions
Whorled around a
Broken heart that’s
Been mended and
Braided back together
By the hands of my
Ancestors in my
Dreaming life
Ancient hands that
Will comfort the man
That’s inside
Unsure of what a mother
Looks like in person
I can sense what one
Would be like subconsciously
Weaving my soul with
Threads of compassion
Twirling the kinks out
Unhitching the headaches
A helix connection
Between us entrusted
A rosette nexus of
Unwinding and loosening
My earthling coil
My living soul
When you open your eyes
To expose the window
Where I see you unfold
Looking back at me
Can I ask you to
Find me unbind me
Untangle unwind me
Untie me and disjoin all
My knots allowing
My lungs to expand
And breathe in
All the love from within

Wanted

Disingenuous doubt
From now on out
Nobody’s victim
No strangulation
I’m issuing a reward
For anyone who can
Lead me to my lover
Wanted this hunger
Crave the thirst
Ready to burst
I’m your greatest
Suspect better than
Any drug persistent
To love every part
Of you take the side
Street with hovering
Lamps and shadows
Fragrant mimosa trees
I’ll be waiting to meet
You there open hearted

Love Spilt

Take me to the comfort zone
Grab your smile and
Ditch the phone
Resplendent and puffy
Soft like the clouds
You know how you wake up
One morning and realize
You don’t have to go out or to
Work that day?
Yeah like that
Pushing your face back
Down into the sheets again
Back into my chest and then
Pure pareidolia
Meaningful images in the
Portraits of our minds
Landscapes that imitate clouds
Shape the invention of our romance
Resemblance to what blue sky and
Dynamite enflamed eyes have
Carved by a laser beam into a statue
A stone shaped love spilt heart

To Be Nice

Thank you is enough
Prolonged deep in
A pining heart
Feel no loneliness
Emptiness still tries to
Claim a seat at the table
Uninvited
We learn how
To protect the self
From that feeling
A certain kind of
Person can give
Like a punch in the gut
Want to climb out of
My body feeling
Bad leftovers
Resist the vampire
Charm the smile and
The swarming in of a
New friend holding
Out their arms
But only there to
Clean out your goods
Take hold of whatever
Risky business
They want and manipulate
You into their
Emotionless map
Feelingless trap
I’m waiting for
Something real
Unquestionably so
We don’t have to lay
On top of one another
We can sleep
In separate corners
I only need us
To be nice

Winning

Neptune please why won’t
Someone just love him
“She cried,”
Listen to my pleas
Is this a race
For us to see
Who can hold out for
The longest and if so
What’s the point in that!?
But with grace on my knees
Not until we’re
All blue in the face
Put your lips on him
Your arms surrounding
Giving every drop of love
This purple moon has been found
To shine down upon
Inside you have more to give
Received empathetically
Don’t hold back
Relentlessly
Free the good
Reach inside from within
Everything you have
Is rewarded
To win

Electric

A little less crazy
A little less psycho
A little more mindful
With you
Disheartened by
Virtually nothing
Dark nights on the port
While the railway runs
Keep transporting
Crashing underneath
The stars like
Kindred spirits
Beneath the surface
Of the city lights
Where the water pools
And the rain delights
Milk and honey
Drips across the lips
Of a ponderous kiss
Your head on my chest
My best is at rest
With the crook of
Your neck in the grasp
Of my hands as the pulse
Of the power lines dance
Between us electric

Lovetrip

The clumsy gentleman
Lost his way
When glowing eyes
Deceived a gentle touch
To storm in
Without regard
To their master
A host of orange light
Expands around
The outside without glare
A free love stare
Fingerprints on the heart
Frequencies beat
Down through his feet
Into the street
Feel the vibrating sound
I’m glowing
You’re glowing
We’re glowing

No Clue

There is a cat a dog and a bird that accompany me
They remind me of how much life there is to love

Each has their own voice and here I attempt to find my own
The glare of the past shadows their sweetness

I’m living a life that I could be taking for granted
My inner voice asks if I remember how I got here

A bright but grey morning inspires a joy that begs to be lived before noon
Even if it’s impossible
The smell of pines firs and fragrant needles reminiscent to heaven

Swirl around back and forth between my ears which are too busy listening
To notice
If a thunderstorm should shake the earth thoughts would form dreamscapes

I could have wished for this before the alien ship dropped me off

Chosen family a beautiful garden and all the music

What do we know about where we came from!? The clouds above form shapes that answer questions to who I am

But still nature appears to know more
If I could have picked this life to live before I was born into it
I would have chosen you even though I have no clue to your appearance

I would look for you in the hammock chair reading outside in our private garden
A completed picture
The necessary part that shares the memory I can’t look back on
Without you in it

Humming

Subtle song
gentle waves
gorgeous muted
still tongues between us

Silence or surely they’ll find us!
hiding here
quietly in our love

Sent to smoke out the beauty

Come hold my hand
tip toe
whistling lightly
into our great escape!
