Time and attention
has always been
and forever was
on my side.
Me and my love-soaked
attention has always been
a solitary event.
I may be lost
all because
I haven’t felt your touch
and still
I don’t mind the search
you are the one
after all this time.
Quiet in your room
I can sit in here
being in a place
where I can withdrawal
safely in your arms.
There are few hours
where I can sleep
that deep belly fading
cupped and curled
around your tiny frame.
Tonight,
the forbidden words
have me all down
on broken knees
to palms.
I swear,
when I swore my love
I truly understood
it was longer
than this single life.
Tonight I’m down
it’s our 5th time around
and I don’t mind
learning how to manage
this burning ache.
I need more time
and attention
from my one and only
girl that I trust.
Being this blind
has always been
my gift,
the soft music plays
filling every inch
I lay on top of you
I sip
every breath.
I love being
this super close
smelling your shampoo
in your damp hair.
Eyes stay locked
in an ancient stare
my forever contract
with the one girl
that is ageless.
A faint kiss
just on the tip
the world says
focus on the voices
so I sing
and it may not be perfect
but the words
have meaning.
