Poem for #60 - Poem 2

Your heart is caged in by her absence
The pain in your eyes illuminated by her name

I want to bind your wounds
I want to flush your poisons

You speak on her acquisitiveness
Her cupidity, revolting

You ache from her infidelity
Her betrayal, a lesion

Her egotism
Her materialism
Her superficial piety
Why don’t they rebuff?

Your perfection is astounding
The depth of your creativity persuades me

The heights of your spirituality, transfixing
Your compassion is implausible

I want to know all of you

I stagger to understand
Why she renounced you

I lurch further
Speculating
Why the queen of paltry matters
Holds your profound heart

Poem for #60 - Poem 1

Your kiss is a curse of unrelenting mystery
Those lips are supernatural

Your hands are weapons of the divine
Those fingertips, surreal

When we meet in our realm of the gods
The atmosphere shatters between us

I am frozen and liquefied
I am still and kinetic
Together we are creation

Energy, vibrant and tangible, moves from you
I reach out to taste it

There is a remedy that drips from your soul
I am thirsty for it
I lap it up

If you leave me alone on this earthly plane
I will desiccate

Poem for #58

The chemistry between us was powerful enough
Until you pushed it forward

Our connection was secure in its confidence
But you were insecure

In your hasty objections of letting me in
You lied to me

Your hunger of my body
Repelled me

Your darting eyes, against the background of noise in your head
Left me gasping for air

At first I craved your attention and affection
Now I gag at the thought of you

Poem for #57 - Poem 5

I selfishly wait
For your return
Though I pushed you out

I cannot deny
The piece of me
Shaped like you

I attempted to break into your library
Of feelings
Dog ear my page

Kiss me on the neck and make me smile
Laugh and roll your eyes
Be intoxicated by our disgusting attraction

Unwind the fear from your heart
Let loose
We can be ok

Talk to me endlessly
All day
About nothing

Show me all of your world
Take me to your home
Carry me to mine.

Start over
Rebuild
Reconnect
Go back
Come back

You are incredible
I am foolish
I am touched by you

I still miss you
Every day

Poem for #57 - Poem 4

My mistake
Plagues your mind

Your desires
Deny you something beautiful

I have broken the flow
Of what is
Or was

Broken shards
They are not so small
That we cannot
Pick them up
Find matching parts

What I cannot imagine
Is your reality

Poem for #57 - Poem 3

The image of your arms
Wrapped around my legs
Tossed on your shoulder
Unforgettable

The seductive tension
Of waiting for you
To get off of work
Undeniable

Teasing you with words
A lunchtime rendezvous
We’ll meet for dinner and dessert
Insatiable

Poem for #57 - Poem 2

I did not expect you

Walking down the beach
Towards me
I met and resisted your temptation
Dancing over shells
Childish avoidance of you

No calamity of war
When you steal kisses
Affectionate glances

No time has passed
My hand is in yours
We are a pair
I let you break in
