love – Page 7 – Poétique

Meaning

Maybe I’m keeping
A broken dream alive
What veracity!
Ode to truthful pleasures
The exterior is pristine

I think you would be proud
Of what I’ve become
And
What I’ve done

Garden flat
All though you may never have
Really cared about that

Neighbors said they
Liked the flowers
The garden is my sanctity
Does it also count
If it’s only me?

Attraction
Connection
Companionship
Something to do it for
An us factor to share
Are we holding onto
An idea for something

They were all contending
For his attention and love
But in the end none of them
Truly adored him

It was a trophy
Something to win
Someone could say
I got him!

What would it mean to
Genuinely love him

If to possess the druthers
Some sense of control
A scenery
Comfortably greeting the rest
With open arms and
No detest
Maybe we don’t know
What life is
Strange
Why shouldn’t every body
Explore ecstasy
Let’s just say stuff out loud
Without being afraid
If offending one another
Because love
Because adoration
Because intimacy

Fire can also make art
Where to begin
From the beginning they said
What do you know
How many roads
Lead to the path
Of sensual climax
Maybe in a forest
Somewhere under cover
Too many passions
To resist
So many moments
To outlast

A fragrance
A little rain
Every particle remains
Exploding out into
A disarray of color
Some sort of
Euphoria unexplained

Ormolu

I keep writing
I’m still beating
Fluently flowing
Holding out
Holding on

Crevices and curbs
I could be
Sneaking into or
Waiting on

How many corners
How many eyes
How many smiles
Until I find
Yours

Used to have wishes
Stars to make love under

Wanted to travel
Get closer to you

How many more times
How much less sand
Dripping through
My hands

Your waist
My arms
One chase

Mauve maybes
Tomorrow glances back
Over your shoulder

I can feel you
Without touching

Sensory overload
Endless chalice
Simple thirst for
Eternity

Wet

Vouchsafe

What is the future without you
And what is this duration
Contemplation of the afterlife
And how many hours
To get there

Milk blue sky
Passing by the path of
What is life and what is night
Morning after think of you

Wake up to reality
A dream I’ve been waiting for
Breathing is like memories
Of laughing in a loft
In some apartment
I was privileged to
Lay in your arms

Wait about two more days
See how it feels when we
Hear the birds singing
Tomorrow

What is war but nothing
When I know your love is there

You can have my
Vulnerability

Shift

Benignly seated in a
Self made throne of wonder
All I need is for you to be nice
Lassitude for love

Winsome in my youth
A true impresario
I would write the words
Conjure the terms
Wonder if love

Could ever happen for me?

How could it be that
In all of my dreams
I would hold onto
Questions but
Miss out on reality

Both girls resented his
Brilliance for what it was worth
Sorting out his resplendence
Divvy it up between them
Stretched from arm to arm
Fighting for or against
One another, who could tell

As grey as the sky remained
Some soothing comfort that the
Sun couldn’t bring and the
Distance memories that
Remained in the sheets of his mind
Laying in bed half awake
Half dreaming of what he
Had hoped to accomplish
What had died and
What was taken

Climax

How could you
Be so flippant
With my heart
Archetype nebulous
Have I become derelict
No longer needed to be used
By anyone just a panache
Roadside waste
If nothing happens
Nothing to live for
Nothing to gain
Speak out loud about
The genuine pain
I found my apogee
Many cars waiting for
My happy return full
Of smiling faces that
Want to be with me
Peaking a climax
Allow me to elucidate
The feeling of love
Genuine care
Looking deep into my eyes
Is anyone there?
Anyone home to meet me
Where I’m at?
Anyone there?
Quiet porch swing vibes

Possession

You were her possession
Something for her to win
A thing she always wanted
To have only for herself
Again and again
This is not love
Hang onto the dream
Try to relive it
But she won’t want anymore
What she already had
Excitement is high
Fulfilling the fantasy
But it is only to have you
So no one else can
And to tell all her friends
That she won you
That she wanted you
Only to win you
She finally had you
This is not love
It’s like motion sickness
Being chased all over the states
It’s like being hunted
Followed until the only
Choice left is to say yes
That’s the case
A feeling of being
Needed and wanted
You cannot escape
Even trying to get away
Still she comes for you
It’s agreed and
You think you are winning
A family a home children
When she gets there
You are hers again
She is what you always wanted
But not in this way
You are her possession
Take a jet fly away
Un voyage over an ocean
Of tears and leftover sadness
For being alive because
He loved a ghost
Something that wanted to
Hold him back
Keep him even from hisself
This is not love
To tell everyone he is mine
To show the world she chides
You are hers and he
Smokes too many cigarettes
After too many glasses
Of red wine and pain to disbelieve
Mournings of headaches
And trying to remember
And not enough sleep
And she holds him in the cage
Which is a fake enclosure
For her heart she mistakes
And he wants to know
How to be free from the love
That he thought truly wanted to
Hold him up not
Hold him down

Build him up not break him down
This was not love

Radio

I know the plans
I have for you!
I hear you declare

Plans to prosper
Not to harm you
Plans to give you hope
A future

I will be thine always
Then you will call on me
I will come and implore
I will listen for you
You will seek me
And find me when?
With all your heart

Is there nothing more dangerous
Than to forget our own strength
Distrust our own feelings
What even of fervor

If we are angry
If we are full of malice
If I am capable of hate
I am committing
The most enormous crimes
And I need you
Because I hurt

So many words we don’t use anymore
We don’t have to ask for them
It’s just given to us

I hear you I see you
We are together
I burn for you

I raise my hand
Expose my palm
I solemnly swear

Some will not believe
That you came to me
Through frequency
Change the radio
As I hold your pillow
In full clarity oscillation
A crystal clear pause

Between two limiting
Frequencies we are
In the radio spectrum

Here plus
There equals
Together

Epoch

Cry of the peacock
You came to me from
The other side you
Made it safely new
And fresh you brought me
Kisses that I longed for
You were as shy as you were
Before and then so
Find me grateful
As I am I held you
Again now so soon
And saw you twice
Fresh and new your
Coat warm and glistening
Soft to the touch
Crossing through the
Membrane you made it
It’s a second goodbye
But a grand hello as they
Receive you back
Into the wonder
Earth will never be
The same without you
I love you

Flailing

Something came
Into my mind last night
The head was covered
In fluffy white feathers
Like a rounded square
The dancing man says
Everything will be fine
Play a record
Watch the sun go down
Accept the uncertainty
Of your existence
Before you came into this world
The choice had been made
That’s philosophy
And in my Greek heart
I desperately need
Words to explain things
And in my Finnish heart
I know the snow
Will melt before the end
And in my French heart
Longing for romance
To fill this gap
But also
To distract us
A senseless life
At the decisive
Moment of contact
So we
Swallow the next years
Unknown events
Story of the future
Lament
Longing for music
Touch this hand
You will feel the
Vibrations of my heart
Produce a loving energy
