more – Poétique

Intimating

With so much healing
To be done could it be
Accomplished in the same lifetime
Finding the hours to start again
Move in from the past
Are we sulking does it show?
Is it deeply foreshadowing
What might forsake
Unprecedented possibilities
That were intended for all
That was procured in us?

Say less
Say less
Say less

Intimating that it were possible
There’s not enough money
In the world to step on our love
Incomparable fevers and
Countless cash under the mattress
Whatever you find, you can
Have it all

Say more
Say more
Say more

All I really want
Is your love

More Than Once

Nefarious love punch
Forbidden touch
Stakes are low
Roaming heart
Risking nothing
To lose everything
Shielded emotions
Look towards the shadows
Cast down by trees
Overlooking hollow fields
I recall your strawberry lips
Ripe and innocent
Stripes of feelings
Hanging from my neck
Lethal distractions
Leaning into the flames
We are not depraved
As the fly and the spider
Stand facing
Trade places
Share spaces
Love and dark light
Finding your touch
In the night
Between cold sheets
Warm hands will meet
More than once

You Are More

You are more than
An empty building
A table with no one
To sit at
You are the dream date
I would wait to sit
Next to
Across from
The roller coaster ride
Inside my heart
I want to relate to

I watch the wind
Blow in the trees
Through my hair
Through the leaves
You are still
More than all of these things
I can feel you in
The frequencies
Around the vibrations
That beat in the
Water walls that flow
Down the Kahiwa falls
You do it all

Every shooting star
Every subtle test
A breath in every nest
The pulse inside my chest
Rivets for you
Rivers rush towards you
You call the wild
And conjure my smile

When we dance again
I will hold you to no end
From the beginning
Of our drum
To the pounding
Of our love

You are more
Than I have words for

I’m not even sure
I want to see
What I think I’m going to
But I look
Anyway

Don’t forget if you ever need me
I’ll come running

Don’t forget you’ve warned me
Pretend you’ve made a bargain
You’ve got to live up to

As much as you want love
I know you need your freedom more
