Writer’s Block

Desire I can write of
Fury just the same
But Love
Love
My pen tarnishes thy name

Ink Heart

The ink heart on my hand bleeds
And I want it to bleed
Into you
To Impress you
Imprint you
Meld you
Mine
With a single
Spasmodic squeeze

The ink heart on my hand bleeds
Like I will
If you leave.

‘Twixt You and I

‘Twixt you and I,
nothing should ever intercede -
not conspiring mothers,
not pernicious lovers,
not distance,
not time,
not cloth.
‘Twixt you and I,
nothing should ever intervene.

Oh, My Love, This Lust

Oh, my love
This lust
Is not well-intentioned
Not innocent
Not sweet
Oh, my love
This lust
Demands satiation
Immediate and
Indiscreet.

You Follow

You follow him.
Follow him everywhere
And always have.
You follow him
Follow him everywhere:
Dog-tailing your prince charming
But never keeping his pace.
I accompany him
Stroll with him
Converge with his path
We converge
And yet you follow.

If Only I Was Allowed

I would swallow you with my eyes
I would seduce you with my words
I would tempt you with my vocabulary
I would kiss you with my hands
I would consume you, complete you, consummate you
If only I was allowed to talk to you at all.

You Must Be Stronger Than I

You must be stronger than I
You don’t need to absorb my image
Soak it in
The way I need to absorb you
And your mind
And your competence
You must be stronger than I
You don’t need to memorize my face
Urgently memorialize it
The way I need to memorize you
And your hands
And your lips
You must be stronger than I
You can look away

This is Right

This is right.
Irrevocably, inescapably, inevitably.
Exactly how it’s supposed to be
Without the perfection.
This is is right.
Exactly how it’s supposed to be
Give or take a few major excerpts.
This is right.
Exactly how it’s supposed to be
Except
Not quite.

Coelision

It’s still there
Much diminished and
Asphyxiated
The ember of our
Coelision
It’s still there
Waiting for your whisper
To flare.

Stages

Stages, love,
Stages
Help me to my feet
A smile for every inch
A kiss for every three
Stages, love,
Stages
Pull me from my seat
Towards waiting obligations
Towards a world asleep
Stages, love,
Stages
Pry me off your street
Away from warm inclusion
Away from your safe-keep
