Arrhythmia

we lay Breathing
Together in Sync
our bodies keeping Time

the moment where my Need ends and
your Flesh begins
is a smudged line
my body drapes across yours Pacified
for it has been filled
 
in the quiet reprieve my Mind wanders
then unhitches
it begins a Dance all its own
each step effortless
for it has done more than practice
its in my Bones
every step rehearsed to a symphony 
Out of Time
 
maybe the problem is my ear
in any sleepy mumble you make
I feel the Dismissal of a curtain call
my Breath pauses, I Skip the intake
Loosing the soft Rhythm of
our Shared breath
 
instantly you Warmth becomes a place apart
spiraling I roll Away form you
 Unable to see your Outstretched Hands

On a Fall Day

On a fall day, I run into you
it was bound to happen
Its a small world, this town is smaller

to see you here is nice
With one hand in you pocket, causally 
standing and smiling at me

Some small talk is talked, 
I laugh and our gazes lock, a smoldering fire
Catches some wind, that's all it takes

the air between us crackles
Our surroundings melt away
I feel I should break form your gaze, before
I start to combust, instead I take a quick breath
and choose to burn

thirsty

Parched earth

Desert landscape open and warm
Life pulsing just below the surface

Waiting for you…. You are the rain

Your touch soaks in and brings 
forth a bust of life

The rarest blossoms form 
in your wake

crushes make me loiter

I see you everyday lately
just in passing
as if  we are 
only acquaintances
I tend to linger
taking  long drinks of you
with my eyes
aware of 
the distance between
 your shoulders
 and my arms 

as we stand 
casually 
in conversation  
I'm focused on the
closeness
of your lips 
to my cheek
while speaking
of nothing
of consequence

untitled – bath poem about love

       it needs to be eased into, 
                                          like a hot bath

       My body resists for a second, 
                                          Almost Feels pain

       but its just a difference of degree

       breathing, 
                  your Scent as it drifts like steam

       Enveloping me in the Memory of your taste

       welcoming the Heat now, 
                                          skin prickling

       sinking deeply into your Warmth

       floating on the sensation of your touches

                                            Why do I Resist this Love
