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 #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 #50

Resentment lingers between us
I should have kept
The fantasy of you
Your reality was frigid and isolated

I had not stepped into allegiance
Until I kissed you
What a grave mistake
Incoherence in our aspirations

Your autonomy, insisted
I faded from you
The first of many rejections
You would not let yourself in
