Poem – Page 59 – Poétique

Dispelled

Why is
Fear creating conflict?

I want to be
Part of what magic you are
Manifesting
Even a little

Can we adhere to be
Bound by love
Glued to the surface?

You are one hundred marks of the way
To an answer

I adore you

Vehemently close
To calling out the truth

A constellation or two
The name of the wind
The way I looked at you yesterday

How would you call my face?
Almost in love
Just a little bit hungry for affection
Thirstier than usual
Also scared?

I feel great patience for
Animals to finally speak
One day manifesting even
What we cannot say to one another

Today we are less frightened
Today we are more in love
Than yesterday

I have no discomposure
The distance between us
Doesn’t embarrass me
I find it’s calming exposure
Palpable and crystal clear

Swallowed up in our dark matter
Saturated by the time we shred
The opposite of dead
Convinced and alive

You furnish a table
For talking out
Many ideas

We crave
A brave and steady top
To rest our fearless spells on
In promised love

Break the Ice

Frozen like a block of ice
If only you could melt into my flow
Into my arms
That can show you how to grow
Out

Stuck still in your own way
Afraid
Afraid
Afraid

No fear
Open up
Share your heart a different way
Give into the necessary shift
I’ll be here in the bed
Down the hall
In every room of your head
If you let me in

I’ll shine a light
Down your darkest of paths
All the mind shafts
Give you something to
Hold onto

Which ever way
You choose to welcome me in
Through the backdoor
Or front

I want to get to know
The real you
Trust is hard
Trust is hard
Trust is hard

But we can do this
Nothing to fix
Just a momentary blip
As we slip into a new
Reality

Together

Not all the wealth in the world
Can clothe a human being in love
Look to the infinite
Universal healing
Love that is all around you
It is free
You were born with it
Inside you
If you still can’t find it
I will hug you
Come and find me
Or tell me where you are
And I will meet you there

The Difference

I suppose the difference
Is me
I imagine impossible
Possibilities
I want what makes life
Easy
To come to me
To come to us
But I feel also helpless
Almost boring
Not because of you
But because of me

Goodbye to being
This carefree
It’s turning into
Thinking about
Too many things
That’s what being alive can be
Even unintentionally
To try thinking less
And just being
Sounds very comfortable
But not realistic
Wait and see
I’m hopeful
I’m happy we had this moment
I feel a bit like timber
In a forest full of trees
Fallen down
Quietly
Or leaning
Heavily at least
Towards you

Why Do You?

Why do you tear me down
When I need you to build me up
When will your insecurities
Stop stealing all our love
Why are you so reckless
With my feelings
Why are you so clumsy
With my heart
It’s like you have no awareness
At all for the fires that you start
What about the moments
You’re tearing us apart
It’s no wonder I don’t want to be touched
When you constantly hurt me this much
This song should really be called
It’s All About You
Your insecurities fly away
With all our feelings
On a plane

I just need a cloud to rest
My heavy heart on

Finding Me

Feeling forced into a situation
But fighting to save it
Two very different dynamics
Working against each other

What does anyone say my dear?
Where am I?

Who is this?

You don’t have to respond
You aren’t required
Skip over the hurt knowing
That if we focus on the negatives
The positives divert-

Paint my nails yellow
Hang in
Hang on
Don’t recreate the moment
Wait for the moment to come
On its own

Kiss someone if I want to
Feel good about it
Be myself
My whole self
Completely
And see what happens
That’s…
Something I haven’t been
In a long time

How intoxicating

Undone

I said I was done
In my dreams to you
It took everything
In me to get it out

I yelled
But I barely had any
Voice left to express
A chord less shout

Still I heard myself say

Let whatever
Makes you dark and dull
Be gone

Even if people criticize you
And say that you are wrong

Right

I was right about you
Perhaps you were wrong about me
We cannot love
What we resent

How many pieces
Can I fall apart into

Enough to love you with my dear

How many teachings
Can I open my mind to

Enough to grow with you my dear

Why do we have to
Pull away to be seen?
What does the word
Comparison mean

To you?

There is something
About the way
That you look
At me

With such beauty
And intensity
It makes me want to
say my words differently
To you-

Why does it seem
That all the upset
Is just useless

Bootless is the journey
Walked in barren dreams
It’s fruitless to be
Futile when we can be
Complete

Into Light

Sun at my back
Starlight at my front
Wind on my face
Every thought wants to
Remind me of the beauty
Of this place

Like I’m walking around
Inside the corridors of
Your heart
Remembering the best parts
Of being free with you

No room for judgement
But many doors of prophecy
Etched along our sacred walls
Painted in typography

We open every gate
Walking bare foot over stones
That remind us of our strength
Of what we have to hold
Wandering the caves and halls
Like the stars we used to know
One day we will see
Each other there again
As we did before

Ancient connection
Of acceptance that can
Find it’s way to you
So familiar to the past lives
Our souls are privy to

I will never misplace your energy
I will always remember your smile
I could find you in a world
Of thorns and darkness
Mountains high

The echos of your laughter
Shake me to the very core
Rings the bell tower
Flips the switch on
Calls me out of
My conch home

Folded hands together walking
Down the steps of life
We carry one another
Through the darkness
Into light

Rest

Rest my head on
Your shoulder
A place to comfort
Everything in me
You make me stronger

You make me want you longer
Better than the rest

I don’t always want
To let go
I’m not ready for
Our time to end
When did it begin?

I watch you say goodbye
Like I’m looking down a
Distant tunnel
Escaping my view

Calling out to you
Don’t go
Even though
It’s not the last time
That I’ll see you

I know it’s silly
I just really love
To be with you

You tuck me in
Even if I resist

When I give in to you
Dreams of our love
Are coasting through
My head
Until I’m resting
In your arms
Again

One Step

One step
Two step
Three step
Four

How many steps
To count before I
Reach your heart’s
Front door

Open wide
Come inside
Is there a welcome mat
For me?

Is there a couch that
We can climb into
Build a fort for two
Sprawl out underneath

Is there a backyard
With a swing
Mind if I have a tent
To bring?

Talk about the things
We love
Reminisce about
Our future
While we dance
Beneath the stars

Build a fire

Roll around in
Blades of grass
Beneath the moon
Jump into the pool
In our birthday suits
Play Marco Polo
Find the love fool
I can feel your heartbeat
Pulsing through
The ripples
Splashing
Up and down
You need not make
A sound

Is there a bed upstairs
We can roll around in
Where sheets end up
On the floor
The morning after
So much laughter
We shake the walls

And as the sun
Comes up
I stroke your head
We pull ourselves
Out of the bed
That will not let us go
Entangled in your legs
I adore the memories we
Reflect on especially
Over eggs
