As My Heart Trespasses

As My Heart Trespasses

Eyes silently pressed against the sky

Contemplating, the eternality of love she rouses

amidst my own relationship with time

I think madly about her,

the beauty that doesn’t coexist with this world

Bypassing the moon

Beyond the sun

Transcending the stars

I wonder, how can I accompany further

when I am born subordinate to the authority of this temporal dimension

Like flesh chasing spirit

Left winded, gasping for some air of possibility

for she is far greater than any breath drawn in the human experience

Another phone call placed to God!

Our first hour,

wondering how much does twenty years change the flower

Why I cannot step into hers

nor can I hold long her here within mine

for moments become memories that fade with the movements of passing away

the movements of angels

having stolen the hearts of mortal men

May 23

Beautifully burning beyond understanding

All of my poetic and philosophical elaborations

struggle to tame you

Warm winds against my senses chilled to the marrow

Watching the landscape of all I’ve learnt,

the ego of my education

smolder, trying to figure you out

Prayers for understanding; my mind palmed in ashes

Why you were like a wildfire fueled by the breath of God...

Love-A Sea-Swim

Cradled shells utter softly—Love

That glistening wild blue yonder – boundless – breathtaking – deep

Soughing tales for a commoner to rippling shallows

Always she’s stood upright within their recurring promises rising just to recede

Kept by the sands

Longing head over heels to know of stirring currents just off the waters edge

To become one who has swam (a stranger to claiming waves)

Harboring faith that someday they’ll come ashore, carrying her out to sea

Waiting

When he's there- too brief
Waking up alone- bittersweet
Uncovering yet another night blanketed in disheartening dreams
Yawning angst “how can he keep walking away”
But as she wipes rheumy peeps
She smiles for today's the day she just might see
The promised return of that moment he swore he'd never leave
How strange, to love faithfully a love that wanders
Patient stares sifting eagerly the wild blue yonder
“I only have eyes for you”
She's searching to grab hold
She's been right here every morn on into the eve– a dead end road
Waiting for a distant silhouette that faded to reappear; heading back home

Fairy Tales (No Tomorrows)

In bed-time stories she’d believe
From that little girl naïve she’s grown
Why by know she should’ve better known
that most men depart soon after they’ve successfully embarked

Vanishing off into the Evanescent Forest

Au revoir!

Lustful nights
awaken from fille de joie love humdrum
Sorry, it’s simply the way it always appears hun

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, letting down your fair hair

They come and they go
A bounty of nomadic men scaling golden braided stairs

Squeezing yourself into an unflattering fairy tale fit
Unfortunately how tight, how uneasy the glistening gown zips
None care
as long as they may comfortably slip into -thy lady’s sterling underwear

Oh Repunzel dear
yet another chapter this happens
In an animated moment of forgetfulness
you tend to misread the pages unfolding hapless

Same Ish, Different Day

Seems like every morning we wake up
reevaluating and declaring we're ready to break up
Temper-pedic comfort yet we still harbor
last nights aching disgust over our feeble trust
peeling away at an iron clad love we've let succumb to rust
Like what the f**k
I thought we settled this but you're still upset about some ish
We fight before breakfast and long after supper
I forget to wash dishes and I’m a dirty mother***er
Holding a knife wanting to cut out the part of you that
wants to be my wife, cut me out your life
but you cant, letting it fall to the bottom of the sink
as all my ills you begin to rethink
Lost in the suds and suddenly you’re shoved off the brink
Screaming & throwing plates at my head
then cleaning it all up with not a single word said
ESPN
cooling off in the den
‘cause we won’t speak again till we’re sit...

She Devil

Deceit rampant in her eyes
Foul mouth embellished with lies
A malevolent grip loosening religious ties
Tossing his black coat
Upon the head of a goat
The purest of her intentions
Lies in lines to her black nose
Such sinful shades
Labials graced in Hell's Rose
Looks to kill
White innocence kissed a guilty Red
Untouched, unfed
She moves praying hands between unholy legs
Mmm,
Give moist temptation a feel
She preaches into his soul convincing him to act upon free will
Devine, virtuous, moral and just
However she knows if she loves him enough
She can wickedly corrupt
Satisfying her penchant for unrighteous desires aroused to erupt
All she seeks is an hour to devour
Contemplating his deeds, sweet or sour
A compelling non believer licks
However on Heavens Time his Cartier ticks
Just a minute more
So seductive and ...

All I Have

It's not much...
But it's all I have

Baby I'm handing you
every ounce of my love
Yet you're looking around
expecting a whole lot more to come

You've suffered hard with men
And here I am
showing you the gentle touch of friend

You shy away
You won't even shake my hand

In this Black and Grey world
I thought your Pale disposition
Would’ve been happy
to receive more that a glimpse of Red

What I offer

You claim to crave
Yet appear to unbelievably fear
when you're presented the longing color

It's not much...
But it's all I have

Tell me
How much glistening gold
How many sparkling diamonds has a man shown

Only to later turn around
and walk away with the treasure
they promised you'd forever own

Waking up from sullied sheets
Following that I'm in love dream
Sadly to see y...

Our Love Forgives

Love
We fight over
Then love we make up under
Fresh linens
Enthralled there after
finding ourselves withdrawn
Avoided all evening
Who cares
Selfish in separate rooms
Up stairs, down stairs, hall rails trekking with cold stares,
cradling attitudes recluse
Apologizes at each others door we feel not to introduce
Just wilful glances that fail to meet
Without contact
our eyes too stubborn 'til we're reunited with touches
You're in my way
Faucets, glasses of water
When one passes the other, intentionally brushes
Spills a little love
Our sensible nature rediscovers
Passionate encounters
Laughs
Salacious paper towels
Hugged against the kitchen counter
Soaking up
The exaltation sparked off emotional clashes
physically forgiven
The heat between heeling disputes
back & forth
ceasing...
