Why Not Both?

I didn't know

that that smile

soft sensual lips

first nervous kiss

could lead to this

You grabbed my heart

from the start

and I didn't realize

just how deep

now I need

your loving gaze

just to fall asleep

I submit

my heart

wrapped safe

in your embrace

I see my happiness

reflected

in your face

I didn't know

that that smile

soft sensual lips

first nervous kiss

would ever lead to this

Undiluted

Every note

massaging

a tender spirit

Balance

in the moment

lost

gained

sliding

into

feeling

fleeting

raw

refined

echoing a chorus

of beautiful mortality

Submit

I inhale

gasp

breath

shake

hold

feel

the pressure build

tighten

restrain

gasp

for breath

lost in

you

breath out

I inhale

Whole

Chest tight

No sleep tonite

A smile slides

In my thoughts

Gently cleaving my heart

Exquisite beautiful torture

The taste of passion

Lingers on my lips

Sweet even in absence

I feel

Plato Left The Light On

Coffee, tears

all these years

pack them in a box and

sip away at

rollercoaster rhythms that

stroke & scratch

& strip and grasp

consumed in elegant pain.

Hints and scraps

come flooding back

a loving slap

deja voodoo caresses

twisting thoughts

into meals, surreal

fare for a thirst.

Watch your step

misstep

as you enter

my cave.
