Relationships

What does it mean
To be in a
Relationship
And also have
A life for yourself?

What if being
A support to your partner
Means needing
Emotional support
For yourself?

Do we put this
On a shelf
Table it
Until the next one
Comes along?

Tell a different fairytale
To ourselves
Dragons and witches
Assholes and bitches
To one another
Failed attempts
At interdependence

Just like

Self imposed handcuffs
We can’t
Find our
Way out of
But then…

What if
We can be
Singular together
Then we
Could still enjoy
What it means
To be a lot less mean
To one another

Find the keys

Less strained
We have
More love gained
From the freedom
Of extenuating
Back breaking
Extremes

Look for each other
In between
No expectations
A glass of champagne
And an exit
From pain

Like good friends laughing
Every night
In sweet refrain

Would You

why
would she think
it would be
any different
from being
my friend

maybe it’s the mixtape
i sent
maybe it’s the same
as I would be
if someone
compiled music
for me

would you…?
then I might assume
you meant
something more
than you mean
but then
maybe we

could make out
to the mixtape
you might
send me

What Would You Say

What would you say
To someone who wants
No arrogance
Just a chance
To believe
In with you
To suspend time
Pause once
In themselves
To be with you
So much
That they miss
The planets turning
Ambition for stepping
Onto hot coals burning
For you
On each attempt
Entering
To open up
Your eyes with a kiss
The ability
For your heart
To also see
Into me
What you have
Wished with
Somebody
Would it be
Something
That could
Make you turn
Away
From me?

Ask me to cry
And I will
Ask me to lie
And I will
Ask me to stand still
And I will
Ask me to walk on fire
And I will
Ask me whatever you desire
And I will…

To Me

Everything in our
Conceptual existence
Leans toward
Suggestive lust

Is what I want real
Or just a fantasy

Bring your body over here
To me
Let me touch you in a way
You’ve never felt before

On the bed or on the floor
Move your way to me
Let me put one hand on your face
Thumb at your lower lip
One hand on the back of your neck

You make me a train wreck
For love
Sensations pounding
Kiss me all around
I’ll return the favor
Your skin has the flavor
Of sweet amber

You return my mood
I can’t feel any other way
With you
Friendship into fervor

Murmur words of
Passion underneath your breath
Whispers at my ears
Tongue at my neck

I want you
Every part of you
When you’re ready

Bring your body over here
To me

Palm

Like the page
Of an ancient scroll
When I read yours
Do you wonder what I know?

Follow the eclipse
The credence light
The crescent spill
The way it feels

The texture of your soul
In stark silhouette
I can hear the echos
Of your past
On my finger tips

Dimmed in flesh
Emissaries drinking light
You hold the present and the past
In your chalice palm tonight

Like the stones of
Ancient pathways
I stroll the fountain
Of your heart line

Birds are singing
Songs along the phalanx
Of your lifeline
Horses riding in the sun
Laughter thrones the drum

Forked in passionate mystique
A split between artistic need
Flowering in a garden that
Reveals itself beneath
The soil in your nails

If all else fails
Your signature is a monument
Scant of disbelief
As warm as honey
Swarms the majesty
Of bees in guitar strings

A melody you know too well
There isn’t much for me to tell
Fold your hand in mine
And walk with me
Throughout the sands of time

Remorseful Hug

Interrupted by your need
To feel bound
To hold someone
So they won’t get close to me
What is by force this comfort?

Look through the binoculars
It is a similar distance to touch
What you are afraid to drop
Afraid to love even if
He could have loved you

A little pathetic, right?
Or is it just sad to watch
Claim what’s not yours
Block light
Cover the truth
What do we gain
If we really lose?

A hug full of remorse
Only for you
Not for him
Not for me
Because sharing
Friendships is
Incredibly scary
For you

I could give you
A quiet kiss
The one you wouldn’t have to feel
Not a little
But your fear
Would only corrupt this

Love is for everyone
Not just for you
Is my light too bright
Am I troubling you?

Should I create a mist of love
Are you disappointed?
Embrace full of remorse
Only to wake up the same
I’m too old for such a game

The child became the man
I wish you the same thing
At all costs
Let go of your jealous roots
Open the French doors
Before the lie soon
Breaks you

You can’t stop love
And take it away from someone
It won’t do more for you
A hug full of remorse
By a resentful boy

You lock me outside

Stepping in the way
With all your insecurities

But like a child
I am innocent and pure
I just want to love
Why do you hurt me so

No, not even this will stop me

Picture

Even without knowing you
Your smile comforts me
How can this be
If we
Have never met?

I envision a
Picture of my life
With you
Through your eyes

Professor
Poet of the heart
I can pretend
Learn how to be patient
In the possibility
From today

Mostly tomorrow
Though I don’t know you
Do the insides
Match the outside?

North of the equator
An image that aspires
To fulfill a passionate desire
Located on the
Continental crust of my future

A picture of what transpires
Yet make believe
If I don’t know you

To see our smiles together
Friendly

Will you finish with
A photo in my life?
I feel a tropical heat
Plateauing through
Your teeth

A beautiful smile
That comforts me
How is it possible?

How I would like
For us to meet…

Enchanted Loom

Climb through
My dreams the canvases
Claim the desire to
Understand you
Make it comprehensible
The subconscious
Turning
In my stomach
Feed my thoughts
Burning inside
Spinning wheel
Of flumes
My consciousness
It tells me everything
Left to my interpretation
Moonlit my throat
Swallows to see
Look inside the third eye
From my heart
I’m hungry to know you
What you want to say
Even my dreams
Can’t tell me
These kinds of
Things

In a Tuscan maze

I walk the Earths womb
Darkness and light
Quietly on tiptoe
In each sickness
Frightful not to know
Never knowing really
What I don’t
But I won’t put
Our book of secrets down
The wand is waiting
Overflowing with answers
For our love
Just at the forefront
Packed up
Like a chrysalis
Caught in your
Enchanted loom
Voodoo dust
A caterpillar
Ready to burst
Feet extended
Tongue curled up
Doorframe to window
Web strung resilience
A quilted heart
Swept away by your
Love broom

Little Heartbreaker

You love everyone
And no one at all
Do you still love me
I wonder

For what did we befall

I remember when
I was the best for you
Then I learned that
Being best meant
More than what I
Thought that I
Could do

I didn’t know
There was an expectation
One that I created
Loving you so much
Can do that I guess
Affiliation is
Indeterminable

Everyone is your best friend
I see everyone is the same
So who is special
Is there ever anyone?
What are the things you speak of
Grounded in?

What to believe…

You love everyone
And no one
Do you still love me?

The question comes up
In my pulse
When you walk by
Even though I know
There’s no definitive
Answer in any language

It’s easier to know that
If I step back I will hurt less
But I won’t miss you any less
Perhaps I’ll miss you more
I guess

And then again
There you are
Knocking at my door
Intertwined
In one another’s lives

Will you still be here in June
I often wonder if the sun
Poses the same face
To the moon

The morning after
We’ve seen so much
I watch you love
Any and all you want
It’s beautiful
To bear eyewitness to
Yet without any alliance
My heart feels broken
In this awkwardness
Defiant

Unsure
And yet I’m open
Because now
I can love you how
I want to
On my own terms
Even if you
Can’t return
It’s similarity

Wearing many hats
Jack of all loves
I’ll watch you grow
And maybe someday
We’ll know

If you appreciated
What I tried to give your
Little heartbreaking soul

Huh
