I stand at the edge of
All that I know
And peer expectantly into forever,
Hoping to catch you glancing
At me.
I savor those
Moments,
A look between you and
I.
And all is said
There in your eyes.
All that I need.
And hearts still beat,
And lungs still breathe.
And no one knows that time has stopped
Within
Until our eyes
Blink once again.
I know he comes
From heaven.
He says he is from hell.
I feel the trail of
Star maps he draws
Intuitively on my skin;
He creates magic constellations
And places them in my heart.
I
Hear the wishes trapped in his throat
When he whispers
To me in the
Dark.
I see his wings,
Not with my naked eyes.
Many hours
Even music cannot fill the darkness.
So in silence I sit,
In silence
I am full.
Many days my heart is too heavy,
My sight barricades itself
I have not the strength to lift
My
Pen and place it to paper
Or my eyes to sunlight.
I sit in darkness.
In darkness I rest.
And I sink
Beyond my knees to earth.
Beyond touch of hand
Or restless thoughts
Where I lie.
For I do not even whisper there,
I do not not even cry.
Many moons
And suns have come and gone
Since you embarked on this journey.
Your feet light with
Anticipation
When you took your first steps
Now have become heavy
With
Impatience and doubt.
Remember your heart.
Remember your heart beating.
Remember the blood coursing through your veins.
Such life. Such beauty.
The moon and sun are still there with you and
They will not give up.
You will not give up.
Remember your heart.
Remember your heart beating,
And open your eyes.
Open them fully.
Breathe many breaths.
Open your eyes.
See.
Truly you know, if you wish,
You can fly.
Soul on soul.
Becoming together.
Heated touch upon skin.
We move nearer, into one
Another.
In limbo no longer,
We collide.
We have been here eternally.
Lifetimes ago.
I was going mad waiting for you.
We carried an insanity in our minds
Until we realized,
Until we recognized the
Soulshine reflected in our eyes.
A familiarity known.
She never knew the stars in your eyes were for
Her.
How could she not see?
But oh,
How they shine
So very bright.
Now and again,
(when i was young)
The prostitutes would try and hustle
Just outside the neighborhood
I was raised in.
Some mornings they would be on the street that
Several other kids and I biked on our way to school.
Some of the kids would throw pennies
(sometimes they would get thrown back)
And yell obscenities at the ladies as we rode by.
I was always the last in line to pass them and
Could not help but look in their eyes,
Smile and blush.
Terribly embarrassed
I would
Yell
“I am sorry!”
And pedal as fast as I could to get away,
Trying to set my mind on
Learning and books.
the tremble in his voice
the ache in his heart
his blood and sweat
the reach of his hand
His strength as he stands
you have made his world beauty itself
he has walked this earth to see you smile and carries you everywhere with him.
his dreams
his heart malleable in your heartbeat
his eyes
his soul for you
all for you
you undo my mind
my heart follows eagerly
you knowingly wield your
power untying the knots within us
with words you bring forth
emotions
stir them awake
my body begins to shake
yet the final calling is silent,
it is the look in your eyes
that releases me from anything
i have held
back
Our eyes meet
Pulses quicken
Touching
Breath deepens
Kisses stirring
Our skin weeps
Frenzied
Fevered
Consummation divine
Now
Melding within
Chole Into Diamonds
