Coalesce

Posted on by

Desirous skin

Mouth so tender

I take pause as you surrender

To this love.

Nothing left but this love.

We

Broke open.

Laid bare

And

Shattered through love.

There was too much passion to be

Contained

In one vessel anyway.

We had no choice in the collision.

Now melding.

Coalesce.

Between you and I

We are a

Luscious mess.

Sometimes you

Bare your soul

And there is silence.

You do not know whether they think you are an

Idiot

Or they just do not know what to say.

So you wrap yourself back up knowing

That you are brave and beautiful regardless.

Let them be them and you be you.

There is no right or wrong in the realm of 

feelings.

Olive Tree

Posted on by

As

Evenings light was falling

I chose to take

A walk among the olive trees.

Others were elsewhere

Settling for dinner.

The earth was dry,

Dust rising and making a bit

Of a haze as 

I moved toward the sun.

I came to a low rock wall deep in the orchard 

And 

Decided to take

A moment of rest.

Removing my backpack to use as a pillow

I lay upon the ground.

I swear I heard laughter

And the shuffle of bare feet behind me,

I quickly sat up and turned my head to find no 

one around.
Maybe the ghosts were as delighted as me

Under those old olive trees.

And I wondered how many souls had tread 

Here,

How many had stopped to take a moment and

Replenish their weary hearts with these roots 

Beneath them?

How many partook

With joy

The nectar

Of the olive tree before me?
