Doorways

We kiss in doorways
One of us immovable, the other ready for the magnetism
To destroy our flesh and make us simple again.
I am one of us.
The one who resides in this perpetual state of union,
When the truth is:
I am me.

I reject all notions of when we became I.
This euphoria demands the respect of both,
Is diminished by one,
Yet coveted by all.

I lean further into the doorway.
Divine animal instinct nudges me to lead you further
But bare feet and cold tile remind us that once lines are crossed
We become us only when I is ready to be.

So we go back to basics:
The simpler form of us is me.
Two less one is better than we.
But I less you is negative me.

Leave It All Behind
By The Foreign Exchange
If this is love

Friends,
It's been a while since I wrote anything (over a year) and it's been bothering me. I think it's symptomatic of other things going on in my life, but that doesn't make it any easier to accept. I decided to make myself write something...anything. It's unfinished and will make no apologies for what it implies or what it lacks...I will just strive to be better.

Proverbial Sins

I prettied my eyes and plumped up my lips
In the hopes that he would notice me.
I put on my best, a skin tight dress,
In case that’s who he wanted me to be.

I played him real slow and put on a show
Tight game. I’m a real revolutionist.
I said I was good and eager to be
the one he could never resist.

Slight swagger in my hips, in that skin tight dress,
Was the elixir for every man before him.
But the look in his eyes revealed profound intention
To do as his God commanded.

Disoriented by his powerful opinions,
I fell short of what he expected.
But all rules had changed now that the man that I love,
Would know me for someone adulterated.

I look back in shame like a daughter would do
To a father that she had dishonored,
My eyes fixed on a passage from the book of redemption
The 31st chapter of Proverbs.

Tears Dry on Their Own
By Amy Winehouse

It's Already November, and I'm Already Broken...

Pain always seems to invite himself

in the midst of happiness.

The only consolation to offer

is the subliminal message he so gracefully carries:

 

Strength

                        Hope

                                    Newness

 

I live for days

when the peaceful pleasure of love accompanies him,

when the sacred whispers

of joy take up permanent residence

in this weathered husk of indifference,

when veracity makes her presence known

by touching me gently on the shoulder,

bidding me to exhale.

Esoteric

It’s hard to think of you in this light

because when I lie down and close my eyes at night

I’m vulnerable to senses that leave me senseless

and maybe since this life is sin-kissed

I should care less about the questions

that plague my consciousness.

 

In this syntax of mental contact

pernicious acts bring us back to the fact that

love is twisted so we reject it and then expect it

to be electric and travel forth with

            righteous content and spiritual conflict

when we raise stakes and then we forfeit.

 

But then your soul sends vibes that transcend

            Truth and deepen my understanding of this love thing.

                        I surrender to heightened pleasure and weekend ventures

                                    That take forever and make love better while we bet her

                                                That we’ll outlast her by making her slower

We’ll grow her to no measure and just let her make us over.

Purple Haze

Saturnalia

 

Breathe me in.

I open wider to you.

Intensity heightened

by simplicity.

 

We speak.

Words like honey

Stick to my form.

Capacity is reached.

 

Breath warm on my skin.

Temporary homeostasis.

Bold of me to state this,

Intemperance.

 

Darkness merges with sunlight hours

Submission ends our expedition.

Longer breaths, lighter steps.

New beginnings.
