Plus One

Whispers in Your Ear

Reality is owning your truth,

feeling the heat of your fires,

the mandarin hues to electric blues.

Admit that you want me as I do you,

from the depths beyond your pearly gate,

the empty space yearning to be valued.

I should not cross, but occupy your mind

Love Language

Articulating the intimacy,

face to face with my eyes drawn,

her taboo is pulsing heavily,

heaving for me to carry on.

Spontaneously stowing emotions,

holding on to her baggage spoken

even though some of her thrill is gone,

still my prized moment, my token.

For she is my sought after end,

captured like a book in series

always leading me back to her zen,

and in no way for my satisfaction first.

Plus One

A beautiful equation, you plus me

Where peace and love is all we need

Hugs from under honest sleeves,

And long leashes to let respect be

Plenty seen but no image like we,

Not almost, slightly, or in between

A togetherness not lost in reverie,

Nor sour over all that is sweet

Gentle unlike a baby’s first teeth,

Yet forgiving while the hurt is brief

I’ll Be Dammed

Dig deep into my innermosts
until you’re covered in my immortality.
Undam me like a dozer and I shall 
flow again with joy while you pardon me.

I am up to my head in burdens
and I will be forever in debt to you.
These depths are killing my intellectual,
as I run out of air to stay in your pursuit.

In lieu of being happy and surging
this stagnation keeps us apart,
and I don’t want you to be free of me,
but for me to be the reason you love hard.

Majestic (edited)

Shield me from harm's ways, 
always damaging my sail, 
saturating my spirits in waves, 
leaving me to shore-up a shell.

Make me lively like the sky, 
kissable against the moon's maim, 
a colorful pallet that meets the eye 
on a canvas painted in soft rains.

Acceptance

Take me as I am,
My flesh, my bones, my blood-cells.
Let’s be in common,
as we are the same with flaws
that don’t make us less pleasant.

Forecast

Miss me like warming up cold feet
under the covers over pillow convos.

The mood hotter than core’s heat,
moisture precipitating in droves.

Senses heartening, beat after beat
chests rising to the occasion, no?

Maybe miss me like love on repeat,
yes?, like love that always seeds to grow.

October’s Game

Hold me close in the coming of rain
Consoling my demons with bolting eyes
Peaking from behind my mind’s terrain.

Amidst all the devilry keep me sane,
All because you fear not the disguise;
Leaving calm my autumn domain.

My protector, solace, all the same,
Be my shield, shade over my eyes
From October’s trickery game.

Treat me well until the sun’s claim
Over the crisp sky, and then I shall rise
Fallen in love with November again.

Ballad of Love

A despondent woman came to be,
I stole away her insecurity.
When her heart was passed by men,
I reached, she smiled, and I stole it then.

Her diamond face changed ways,
I bowed to meet her tear filled gaze.
When it ascended she confronted me,
And I told her, just let it be.

When a wintery night proved distant,
She now had me up close and innate.
When spring came with birds and bees,
Someone’s voice rose, love - finally.
