Poem for #57 - Poem 1

I am a wild, unbound soldier
You, a tactful peacemaker
My past, saturated with destruction
Fantastical tragedy

I walked alone, unattached to chaos
Hurling towards me

I met you with unstoppable force
Between me and the world
I thought impenetrable
You easily broke through
No struggle

I am bitter, stubborn and jaded
In your presence
I uncontrollably smile
Your charm is captivating

A sturdy hero
Finding his damsel
Scarred from war
Touching through my barriers

You saw me
You stayed

Poem for #55

Conjured to my doorstep by witches
I didn’t know I waited for you

The room melted and twisted
The lights spoke to me

As sidewalks danced with lovers
And moss fought wars

As stars dripped their fears
And the moon dived in a pool

A bed of roses quaked in excitement
A squirrel chased a crippled man

Insects spoke in whispers
Birds belted show tunes

You wrapped your arm around mine
We tripped on providence

When glitter cried from my eyes
You wiped it away with lust

All the haze dissolved in the morning
We saw truth in our faces

I never went there with you again
You arrived, waiting

On my doorstep you sat for me
Roses from a mystical night

Purple and plush and full of your dreams
You wont let me forget you

Poem for #51

Here I am again, wading through the mess of my ambitions
The obligations I have attached myself to, pain me
In the intoxicated mess of my unreachable desires
You came to me

Deep and smokey eyes froze the chaos that night
A seductive smile teased my opportunities
The masculine strength of your hands, guided me
I came to you

Our pretend marriage cleared paths on busy streets
We danced without moving our bodies
A synced communication dominated their words
We came to them

I teased you with the jealousy of another woman
I forfeited you to her desperation
Your disappointed grin, sank me
I left you

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

Poem for #49

Your frailty, stimulating
Your limpidness, repulsing

My resolve, unending
My sovereignty, striking

Your privation prohibited me
My abandon prodded you

You were my first blunder here

Poem for #48

The sweetness of your voice when you call me
Your lips are soft when they meet mine
You approach all things with confident caution

We drove around the expansive city
Just to stay close for a short while
Your smile was infectious and addictive

The moon overtook the sky one evening
You weren’t there to hold me and watch
I realized it wasn’t you I wanted

I have to leave this stable and good thing
My heart is in another state
Forgive me for not giving anything back

Everything is perfect when I’m with you
But there is someone else I love
His fiery passion locked my heart away

Please don’t wait for me to ever return
I won’t be coming back to you
Go find a woman with purer intentions

Poem for #47

Insecure voice
Void of eye contact
Confidence and charm of utmost importance
To me

Nothing terribly wrong
With you

Intelligent
Nice

Not enough
