Poem – Page 53 – Poétique

Your Heart

He focuses on her
She is ready
Their conversation is sensual
She says
“Ohh, that’s freaking leaking!”
The
Uh
“There.” He said, “What?”
Is it supposed to go like this?
Ya, where is the pick at?
It’s behind
Yah… over there
That ain’t gonna hold it down
No it wasn’t on there like that
I was gonna laugh if you screwed that up
“I wasn’t gonna screw it down.”
She said
It wasn’t like that I know
Look at you!
Wait! Here is where I want to put it
Right there…
Pop it on there
Okay there’s gotta be a hinge
To this somewhere
Where’s the flashlight?
It’s gotta be here somewhere
Let me see that thing
Just for a second
What thing?
Your heart

Make Me Want You

You make me want you
So much cause I can’t have you
Forbidden
I mean you know this right
Momentary or not
Could we just get it over with?
Super bliss
Have one night
Like touching a star
Would that be enough?
I’ll take my chance

With your permission
In ways we’re not allowed
Just to be wowed by you

Forever Enticing

Forever biting
Chipping away at
The best part of us
Unfolding all the truths
Learning every piece
Seeing how it fits
Deeper than sex
Could ever expect
To get

A combination
Sensual relation
Of the mind

All in good time
My dear

All in good time

We will see a bigger
Piece than both of us
That we create together
Forever enticing
The placement
Of two hearts
In one
Sharing one lung
Sharing one sun

You are fetching
My inner angel
Overlapping our cathedrals
Alluring the afternoon
Between us

Pianos in our eyes
Rolling on the floor

I believe I saw you once
Eating delicious figs
In a succulent dream
Three or four
Forever enticing
Our friendship
Beyond what stellar
Means

Lost Words

Different words
Hidden out beneath
Crawling up
From underneath
X-rayed
Like the awkward rock
That I turned over
We don’t know
What to expect
When we let go
Really ever
But we respect and we hope
To be accepted
To be loved
Even at our worst
Our most embarrassing

Loving the shamelessness
The deepest secrets
Our special shares
A person may not be
What we thought
When we find them there
But the learning
Of opening the book
Of the heart
Always taught me
To be stronger
More like myself

Judgeless

Giving permission to
Things we wouldn’t normally
Is a gift that is sometimes
Simply holding out
To open as flower
Of bared consciousness will

Found in you

Keeping away
What is that?

Tolerance
Vulnerability allows
Brain fog to lift
Captivating what is caring
In a completely open state
Spirit flailing
Only happens in the
Proximity
Of pure love

Open the window
To the better unknown

Kicking Herself

She’s kicking herself
Because she couldn’t be nice
Most of the time
I asked more than twice
Where did I go wrong
Maybe it wasn’t me
It’s so easy to say
It takes two to tango
The truth is obvious

Perhaps not this time

I bought you a shirt
I brought you a coat
I held you in winter
Supplied you with hope

I wish she could let me in

Her insides
Didn’t agree with me
Arguments ensued
Unexpectedly

Maybe just incompatible
Astrologically
I’ll love you forever
And you’ll live to tell
The stories of us
By our wishing well

Dreams of a child
Dreams of a home
These are all different now
Though not totally gone

Different dreams
And she’s kicking herself
For resenting my love
And she’s kicking herself
For resenting my talents
And she’s kicking herself
For not being able
To love me for me
For not being able
To rejoice in the stable
Sanity

I still love you
Just the same as before
The courts all decided
Our friendship was more
They call it a marriage
I call it a score

One up me each time
Gloves on or off
Always contrary
Believe me
I don’t want to fight
All I want is a sanctuary

Better off friends
A friendship not lost
Better off friends
And she’s kicking herself
For the one I would try
To create a small family with
Has now passed her by

But I am still here
To hold you my dear
Forever a soul companion

Just not a husband

Open Up

I ask the doors to open up
I pray the gates will hurry up
I ask the powers that solely be
To start the flow of majesty
I ask the doors to open up
I pray the recommended peace
Will soon commence with a quickness
Will soon make good from everything
I ask the doors to open up
I ask three times because I know
I’m not the only one who asks
I know that’s how the story goes
I pray the gates will hurry up
Return the symbol to freehold
Make good the overflowing cup
So mote the doors will open up
So mote the doors will open up

You Say

You say I am your love
But do you know
About my love
For you?

You say my music
Makes love in you
But do you know
The sound of love
You make
In me?

You say you savor me
But do you know
How much I
Crave to be
With you?

You say that I intoxicate you
But do you know
About the fire
You kindle in me?

You say that I’m your other
I fill your every dip
But do you know
How much I want
To taste your lips?

You say forever’s waiting
For us to climb into
But do you know
That I’ve been waiting
Years for you?

You say that I am quiet
And this is true to a degree
I apologize my love
You take the breath
Right out of me

Little Nothing

Dream a little nothing
To seethe oats
From distant pleasure
Their empty leisure
Crowns the kindred
Goddess treasure

Money driven

Coins of rust
And rotten scale
Cannot beguile
The standard field
That turnips taste

Absent flavor
In a stubborn paste
That swirls
Like milk
In a left hand
Sink that drains
Australian style
Down under
Counter clockwise

Love is priceless

Echo

Diving after
The energetic flow
Follow the rainbow
To the end of its cataclysmic
Beauty and opportunity

My search party
Keeps you first
At the very top of
Every list
Of missing persons
Life is not love
Without you
Though love is
A bounty that
Carries us through

I will not close my heart
I will not lock the cellar
I am a constant sound rapport
Return to me in sanctity
Poetic harmony

Every cell is wide stretched
Every breath a kiss
Floating in the wind
A butterfly net
In each hand
To catch all the
Love lost
Across the land

You can demand of me
More love
For I have buckets
Upon buckets
To expand
Across the Multiverse
Enough for everyone

Even if aliens should stand
In outer reaches
I am a friend to
All of those in need
My love doth bleed
From every pore
My love is rampant
In folklore
Even dragons tell
The tale of lives I’ve spared

There is no barricade
To stop the upside down
Views that will drop into
Perspectives that will trot away
With human logic
In dismay

I am your captain of love
I steer the ship
Acrobatic trapeze flip
Shooting headlong into
Any Armageddon

Believe me love
I’ll carry you
Believe me love
I’ll rescue you
Just as I delivered
Those before
Harbinger and sword
I am the angel of love
Knocking at your door

Blanket you in fragrant dreams
Melt away all anguished teams
Of panic and doubt
You are not a slave
To epidemics
Cross the boundary
Cross the bridge
My home is open
My heart is wedged
In the portal
That is vacuuming all worry

I’ll be a falcon for you
To ride on
Your albatross
I’ll fly you out of this
Lame sloth
I’ll guide you
Out with my lovers torch
Any love lost

I will recover you
I am familiar with
Your ringing
I know you even by
Your echo

Powergift

I inhale pain
I exhale love
And the flowers surround
My family tree

Friends and lovers
Siblings and mothers
Sisters and fathers
Cousins and
All the others

When it feels like
There is nothing left
In front of me
When she holds her cigarette
Nervously
Shaking in her emotions
Ruptured and quaking

Asking what to do
When she questions
What difference
Is this making if
Her heart is compromised
How do we access
The power
That flies
Away from us?

Digging deep down
Into the soil
Where the roots
Have never spoiled
No crown rot
No sick spot
Where love is
More than enough

Irrepressible existence
Rituals illuminated
Within a gnarled state
Twisting from the bottom up
Rejecting cracks
The basis for
A good defense

I hold a powergift
In my hands

A place to mend
A space to build
A promise yields
An unborn fruit
Nature has been careful
Not to mention
Only forbidden
If we take it all
For granted

Open your heart
And read the seed
Knowledge has
Planted

Hope rises up
A powergift
Will be extracted
