From here
the opposite is true
I watch for hours
craving that
first glimpse of you. 
The room explodes
with that look
buried in your private eyes
when you look nowhere
but squarely 
inside mine. 

Always
the balance is ours
ever more addicting
I crave your attention
to be accidental
in your line of sight
when you smile. 

Love sadly
has fallen away
so that when we make love
it’s completely new
and exciting. 
I want you
to be my stranger
curled up
wanting my return.  

Heavy music plays
in a forbidden place
our hands truly touch
the skin-surface
all tense and sensitive
even the tiniest
bit of pressure
is enough
to make make toes curl. 

I love you,
and in all honesty
if it weren’t for you
I wouldn’t have
this lust I write about
for the last 100 years
my eyes are full
wanting to embrace you. 

I count each measure
from morning to night
the sky grows quieter
against a balanced signal
between the lights and shadows
I can clearly find you
near hard edges and curves. 
I want to hold onto you
whisper the forbidden words
just as the piano plays
the last dying notes. 

Your voice 
hoarse and tired
rests close to my ear
your words are amplified
in a way
I cannot turn away
keep speaking please
emphasize certain details
tracing fingertips tease 
I secretly watch the mirror
and in that mirror
our eyes meet.  

Love sadly

ends

as you

fall asleep.
