A delicate dance

Toes dangling

Heart racing

Begging for more

I am yours

I am yours

I am yours

​

Thoughts grow like grass

And I chew them,

And chew them...

And I draw the wet cud

Through cavernous rumen.

I can never seem

To let a thought be.

Once I think,

The think keeps on getting thunk,

And, eventually, caught

In the reticulum.

A web that catches,

And with every snag snatches

Back my attention.

A long

Winding road

To mental digestion.

I draw it back through,

This final stomach supposedly "true."

If only clandestine

To think itself again

Through the small intestine.

Ruminant thoughts

Over fights

No one fought.

You are sunshine that peaks beyond the storm

Still water in an ocean that rages

Solace

A cave to hide from tumultuous rain

You are the thing I carry with me

Everywhere I go

Unable to hide smiles that feel taboo

Your warmth is undeniable

Crepuscular rays shining through

Everything heavy, feels lighter

When I'm with you

​

Your voice

The melody

To the beating

Of my heart

.

Your temperance

Stressed syllables

To the fleeting

Of my thoughts

.

And I hope

That I am

Your peace

In chaos

My owner, my heart u/Powerful_Pudding39

Open heavy eyelids

To view sun rays

And tiny dust whisps.

Through mornings marvel-

A man.

Quiet breaths quip.

Travel over ridges,

Hills and fleshy valleys.

Finger tips trace

Through uncharted alleys.

Somewhere between

Waking and a dream.

Hot breath is rose hibs,

And sleep sand,

A beach.

Satin sheets shift .

Tender daylight tides.

Waves wash over

From your side to mine.

Oh how I love to dance with you

Stanza for stanza

A line or two

We twist and turn

Step for step

Fire burns

A spin and dip

You hold me close

Hand to hip

A fiesty kiss

Writer's whip

Foot steps that never miss

Shunk...

Shunk...

Shunk...

Rasps the rusty shovel.

I dig myself a dusty hovel.

The dirt falls down to where I grovel.

Here I lay.

My thoughts astray.

Relieve the weight.

So,

I bury them here,

Release my fears,

And have a beer.

How else to celebrate

The pain, at last, I alleviate?

Future's what we create.

Chuff...

Chuff...

Chuff...

I seal the grave.

Finding solace isn't brave.

Forgive and Forget, the names of knaves.

Assume,

Resume,

Presume.

Live and Learn

The lessons spurned

By those who yearn.

​

It's cute.

Wearing inspiration like matching shoes.

The way I'd like to wear you.

All over me.

You see,

I want you visible in every scene.

Look behind

The words that bind,

And in his arms, it's me you'll find.

That's all...

In love, I fall.

He is my wonderwall.

​

Break me open

Open on up

Up and over

Over the moon

Moon shine eyes

Eyes on you

You are mine

Mine to keep

Keep me close

Close the gap

Gap opens wide

Wide as the sky

Sky is the limit

Limits we deny

Listening

To your history,

Your darkness,

Your mystery...

It's everything

You give to me.

And I'd give away

All else, everything

For us to be,

To stay,

To share our love

Every damn day.

I've been the stone,

Upon which relentless waves beat.

But you feel like home,

Warmth of hearth's heat.

After weathering unending storms,

It's your tenderness I crave.

New passion born,

From something that feels safe.

I want to unfurl under you,

A protected place.

Show you what I can really do,

Now that I have the grace.

Not because I have to,

But because I finally can.

It's what I want to do,

With a secure spot to stand.

This isn't just for me,

It's for both of us.

I finally feel worthy.

Love first built on trust.

I am a Poet's Poet.

A Poet's Pet?

Particularly peculiar,

Perpetually perfit.

Perhaps I am Parrot.

Ring-necked or red?

Regurgitate repeat,

Rewrote and reread

I'd rather be a Dog, instead.

A Pen-pushers Pup!

Positively perky,

And perfectly plump.

Foxglove.

Heart medicine,

And the name of a girl I wanted to be friends with.

Though I don't think she liked me that much...

I think of nitroglycerin,

potion,

and poison.

Purple seems like one of those colors that warns you not eat.

Like neon green,

and bright red.

I wonder if you can use it for bombs.

So, I look it up...

And I'm kinda right.

Like,

Don't eat that.

But it can't blow you up.

Not physically,

Your heart maybe.

This was a thought stream:

Thanks for joining me.

The air vibrates as eyes meet for the first time.

Our combined gaze is Chalcedony and Jasper.

Similarly, our voices amalgamate to whisper.

Initiation's touch is both greedy and hesitant.

Trying desparately not to be too expectant.

Nose to shoulder, I breathe you in.

Scent so smooth, I start to grin.

Lips to crown, soft hair shifts.

Body to body, no space for rifts.

You are both everything and nothing I expected you to be.

I wonder if you feel the same about me.

But none of that matters, does it?

We're finally here, now. Worth it.

​

"I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,"

Oh, Emily, I feel it too.

Our mutual mourners wander widely, standing to and fro.

The durge's soft melody accenting the morose.

Their feet keep treading- treading- till it seems

We understand that Death stays close.

So, let us all be seated...

Heartbreak silently strums.

It's hard to miss the marching feet as the service solemnly drums.

It keeps beating- beating- till you think

The mourners here, and you, and I have somehow become one.

And then 6 men, they lift the Box,

And walk across our manifold Soul.

There's community in our shared grief, that makes us all feel whole.

That Iron-clad Parade begins,

Taking it's emotional toll.
