You September 25, 2010

 

Hello.

I see you over there

Staring at me.

I am pleased

You’re fond of what you see.

Will you hold my hand?

Will you move a little closer

So I can hear you speak?

Welcome.

I could sense you

From a distance

Yearning to kiss me.

You seem tense.

Am I not what you expected?

Allow me to latch on forever

And gaze into your eyes.

May I hug you?

Today is goodbye.

Our time together

Has been swift.

Still in your presence

Yet already desiring

To be with you again.

Promise when I wake up

You will be there.

Promise when I open my eyes

I’ll look over to find

You,

With me.

Distance September 18, 2010

Days go by
So long and unfamiliar,
The nights
So lonely.
I walk about
Searching for fulfillment
My soul desires connection.

 

I crave your love
Acceptance
Attention.
Fears accumulated since birth,
I have worked so attentively to overcome,
Are back, draining life from
Deep within my soul.

 

Purposely not allowing negative emotions to overcome me
I sit back
Glass in hand
And breathe in, oh so deeply.
My thoughts are inconsistent and overwhelming.
Sweet green, please
Calm my mind.

 

My passion,
Honest and luring,
Separates us even more.
I step away, just for a moment, to
Let my thoughts run wild.
Joy and happiness brings heartache
And I am confused.

 

My sentiment is raw and true,
But still new
And unpredictable.
Will closeness cure this
Or must I relish in these feelings,
Allow them to ferment
And accept what they become.

 

Arrows grip my flesh
My stomach aches with adore
The pure satisfaction is telling.
I long to know you
Hold your hand in mine.
Hear your voice
Speak my words.

 

I study your face
I am determined to find similarities.
Oh precious man
Walk your path and stumble onto my own,
Look into my eyes and deny me.
Pay my spirit for the years of debt.
Sing a lullaby as I fall asleep.

 

Mend your ways.
Increase our love.
Tear down this
Distance
And hold me
In your arms,
Forever.
