love – Page 6 – Poétique

Bigger

I loved this about us
A vibe that was undeniable
No need to test the waters
Curiosity in my lap
We had it all
No looking back

In obeisance I bow down to you
To remind me of the good
All things beautiful like a flower
I drop my chin to the ground
In the glory of your morning

Retrospecting back at life I am
Honored to be in your inspiration
Blue eyes he said
She recalls your flamboyant
Nature floating around
Speaking your heart

What paucity are we weaving
In and out of these smaller than
Grand scheme moments
In one lifetime, one timeline
Did I wake you?

Did I give up on love?
Did we less it up?
Or was it the safest thing to do
Can it be bigger?

I miss how you loved me
Even though we were broken
I still dream about you
And what we once always knew
Oh, how we wanted together

Ruinous

It was a deleterious dinner
Every night was a fight
Fill your belly go to bed
Injury to the head
Intrusive thoughts

Protection
Protection

This was the medicine
To create the circle of
Guidance and keep the
Bad ones out

Like a gang for love
Not a group for pain
Stay away grab your stake
The vampires come to prey
On your beautiful light

Lights out!
Lights out!

No peace for you
If the world wants to
Beat around in your noggin
It breeds no permission
For stopping

Grab your tool kit and run
An ankh and a bracelet
For transmission

Abhor mistakes
No broken hearts
No shattered ways

Humble in love
Remove the piece that
Doesn’t fit, that’s it

Pages

She was reinvented in
The body of a man who was
Trying to fulfill his life
As a young woman
She wanted to start
A family and
Fall in love with her
Forever love

How long she had been
Waiting there was really
A question of time
Life expectancy
Uncertain

Not ready to abort the mission

There was a place to
Record the ending
Ancient but not epic
Head spinning
What’s the rest of this
Supposed to pan out like?
No answers just notes

Scribbling down her recipe
For what is to come
Like a psychic potion
Ready to drink a giant
Cup of moonlight

Her hair was falling down
In radiant waves
A memory of the sea
And best kept secrets
Though her truth was
On the first page
Of every book
Of his love

Abstruse Signals

Needle in a haystack
Reincarnated memories
Dreams of becoming what
Biology had in mind for
My body but not for
My mind

Location services are on
Looking for the signals
Ready and blinking
UFOS and Aliens could
Find me

It’s so obvious
Why is it difficult on earth?
It seems the world is blind
Standing in front of the sun
The ultimate camera
Take my picture
Bruise me with
Your love

I came here to discover myself
Maybe we can uncover
An unknown truth
Forensics

Eye contact says something
Touchdown in a world where
Many moving parts are
Moving past us until
Most of us are gone

Find the other before the
End of time

Energetically magnetic
Hellos and goodbyes
Perfect echoes
Doppler effects
No regrets

Chances are the universe
Is hungry for us to collide
Satisfy the appetite

Bastion

I’m sorry I am
A little bit drunk and
You are too beautiful to
Look at I have lost
My words

I could just ramble on
About loving things and
Stare at you as if nothing
Made sense

A bastion of passion
An untold story

You remind me of
Everything that I want
And can’t have in the
Same breath

What a beautiful sight
For sore eyes

Is love so brave?

Firgun

Time for light, time for laughter
New beginnings in the hereafter
Or pleasantries now

Celebrating you
Forgetting about me

Dating is a nightmare
Everyone accepts this as normal
Somehow I don’t care

I’d rather find one
Enjoy each other and
Go from there

All the hustle of
Trying all the flavors
Maybe speed dating
But not weeks on end
That end up nowhere

I don’t care

Sitting on a hill
Trip to the North Sea
Journey in a wagon
Feeling groovy

Banter of love
No back and forth trash
Just a nice time that
Continues to last

Celebrating you
Forgetting about me

Time for light, time for laughter
New beginnings in the hereafter
Or pleasantries now

What are you after?

Hiareth

Strapped into my history
Sewn into my flesh
Grind my bones
In the dust of our friendship

I’m creating all of these
Beautiful romantic things
For no one but myself
That was never the plan

Haunted by the memories
If the perfect parts of you
We’re actually real
Living inside my fantasies
Some kind of self torture

What an acrid perfume
Something of a coarse nature
Blinding me with backhanded love
Like some dark magic

This deep longing or homesickness
Beyond a place or time that
No longer exists—or perhaps never did

Turning on the trafficator
Left turn, right turn
Windshield wipers for clarity
Driving my life highway
Rather than plotting my death
Feeling ready to die
Contemplating suicide
I’m looking for another way
To live this life, a new way
To be alive

Death of a past
Birth of a future

Galimatias

Maybe shut my mouth
Zip the lips seal the tomb
Egyptian dust

Who can I trust
Like dominoes recovered
From the cracks in the floor
Falling down from a game
No longer being played
By Toutankhamon

Confused letters that
Create conflict sharing
Everything and nothing
Like gibberish
Creeping into the
Background

Un ciel partagé
At what point are we in
So much pain that we
Push the world away?
And then punition
To punish the
Boundaries we’ve laid

Wake up wake up

It can’t be both
One or the other
Blah blah blah

You’ve chosen to
Follow your heart
Trust the gut

Is it?

It’s starting to hit
Five hours later and
No comment from you
Will it implode on itself?

Connection, enthusiasm
The words I need you I need you

Am I signing up to get frazzled
How many hearts does it take
Lines crossed things break
What will it cost?
How much to make us
Feel important and
Wanted…

Broken love leads to
Too many naps
Extra showers and a
Sad loss of power

So we hesitate
Hold on strong before
We share our whole selves
No need to be fake or
Worse demonstrate an
Element of nothing
Unfrozen

In the seat of the observer
I watch the optics
Detached from myself
Let the experience happen
As I feel you
As I feel it take me in

Hand at the back of my neck
Forced kisses a hug
Waiting for passion
Is it real, is it anything?

Questioning

Destined for emptiness
Single bird on a wire singing
Out into the abyss wondering
If there really is any hope
For love

Intimacy craving to be
Close to me in waves and still
Afraid to share that part of me
Knowing that any moment
Of if I do it could be
Pulled away

Another chance to try is
Another chance to say goodbye
Like mourning the living we
Dive in get close feel things and
Then it’s gone again
Where lies the hope therein?

Compulsive behavior towards
A dream of meaning filled
Emotional weaving in
The stars between our hands
Holding a universal cause for
Sentient being in worshipping
Love possibly

Haunted later by a spell
Of wondering again if there is anything
Left a story to write a history
To build a narrative to tell
Is it all for nothing?

An only way to find out
A path of not knowing
Stab in the dark to
Open the light
With you
