Arms intermingled-
Fourteen
Wishes-
Fourteen
Denials-
The breeze was almost
Missable
Your words were clear
No rhymes or embellishments
No sooner on your lips than
Fingers
Victim blue with circumstance
Engulfing me in your tide
Tidings and farewells
Stained
You hide them beneath the carpet
Thinking no one can see
Tap tap tap
On your pains
On your window
All mirrors where
You can look into my eyes
And I only see you staring at the wall
Tap tap tap
On the sidewalk
In your moccasins
I miss you,
You miss me:
Different directions
And I suppose that's why we
Never connect
Tap tap tap
Two months are gone
Like anyone else we stay
On course
Merely hoping to cross paths;
Me in my books
And you in your labor
Producing what others
Will
But what is purely
Yours?
Swimming and laughing and drowning
Because drowning means
No one can hear;
Cut the ears off your foes
But leave me be
Tap tap tap
Here again without
Results
Is happiness a warm gun
Or a best friend?
Blindly aimed at a target non-existent
The goal either round-about
Or narrow-minded
Tap tap tap
Here to remind you
The world has felt
This
Four
Seasons in a month:
The Spring in all
Our ecstasy,
The Summer in all
Our Heated illusions,
The Fall in all
Our bruised knees,
The Winter in all
Your cold indifference
Fourteen
Broken promises:
The world is ours to keep
In your bed alone;
Everything you hate
About yourself
Is what I love
Give me your hands,
I like them-
I got kisses like this-
Then like this-
But now it's this,
Which I prefer
(You can't let go
of the past)
I don't know about that-
If you don't live
You will never know-
You put your legs
Around me;
I don't know how I feel
About that
Anything goes-
I can't tell if it is
You
Off-step or me
No expiration date;
I don't do flings
Anything for you-
Your happiness is my
Obligation
I will see you then;
It wont be long
(Only a lifetime)
Sometimes words don't
Do the job properly-
(Let me kiss you)
I won't let you fall
Here, see-
(Ouch)
Fourteen
