The Fourth of Anytime

Contemplating the fourth of anytime

in that empty room

somewhere between here and there

ready and waiting

as I am for you

hungering for your touch

longing to feel your body

pressing, molding to mine

 

Keenly sensing your warmth

Your strength – innate power

Long known inner signposts

guide our lips , our fingers

skimming, probing,

caressing, demanding,

plunging, drowning

finding, losing.

 

Focusing, forgetting

Our world distilled as trembling sensation

Building,  seeking the limits

Bursting through imaginary fences

Carrying us to new realms

Clinging, crying out

Destiny realized

In this lifetime.

I said I wouldn’t

I said I wouldn’t
So I won’t
I said I wouldn’t bother you
I don’t
 
I said I wouldn’t write to you
I don’t
I said I wouldn’t demand a thing
I don’t
 
I said I’d always be your friend
I am
I said I’d always support your goals
I do
 
I said I wouldn’t interfere
I don’t
I said I’d always remember you
I will
 
I said I’d keep it to myself
I did mostly
I said I didn’t want you
I lied.

Consume Me


Blaze

Devour me

Like the flames lick the tossed sticks of wood in the glowing corner of the darkened room.

Piece by piece I will become a part of you –

fueling you – taunting you – wanting you – wanting you.

Take me apart, put me back together,

infuse my soul with laughter

with tears

with love

with fear.  

with hope

with dreams .

The more I am renewed

the more I will disappear in you. 

All my yearnings point me to you –

all my longings –

my entire being aches to hold you in me and be held.

Heal me

Every kiss

each stroke

will bring life and love and wholeness….
