Sinner / Lover

My heart is yours
My blood is yours
Swallow me
Make me
part of you
Swallow me
Make me
part of you
Absolve me
of all sins

Morning 6/6/18

The World Created in Reverse / Backward

A world curated
and covered in blooms
Gardens manicured
Us walking freely
along unfamiliar paths

Small separations
Longing closed by conversation
Flesh desiring to be near another

whole

Pie ces of our selves

            we find
            in others

to gether WE

become
whole

Space

In you the universe lives

breathes
              and stretches

on such
a lazy morning

Stardust
in your
eyes

Gazing into
soft brown irises

a galaxy

Speak

Speak of the future

as though you have met

and made plans

for tomorrow

When today has lapsed

into tomorrow

what will be of those plans

Speak as though 

everything is not mutable

Speak as though

we are not all looking

towards the same sunset

before the dawn

Your touch
your kiss
your caress

-nothing else
exists

here before
dawn

skin on
skin

heaven
incarnate

skin on skin
your heartbeat
lulls me to sleep
again

In Your Living Room

Could we dance all night
in your living room?
Play the music loud-
hopefully the neighbors
won't mind.
Don't they know
we're in love?
I'll do my best to not
step on your feet,
you know I feel bad
when I do.
Look at me the way
I look at you.
I know you do.
I know you do.
Could we dance
and never leave
the living room?
Could we dance
and never leave
the house again?

Love Poems

are serious business.
Everyone writes them
even if they don't admit it.
The object of affection
becomes more than human
in the eyes of the lover.
Such grand pronouncements!
Declarations so vast and grand
that they could be renaissance
paintings on display in a museum.
What matters?
What is the substance?
Simple.
I love you.
I love you passionately.
I love you deeply.
With you I am enriched.
Without you I am diminished.
I grow with each of your kisses.
I am nurtured by each embrace.
Give me your heart.
You possess me
mind, body, and spirit,
Dear one.
