… locked

Locked inside my imagination

Without limits

Or restrictions.

I savor you

Every which way.

Where you are mine

Ripe for exploration

Over and over again.

Hands gripping hips,

And lips traversing thighs.

Constellations painted across skin

Adventurers lost in delicious sin.

The air bathed in growled moans

Mingled with gasping sighs.

I’ll see you again my love,

At each and every moonrise.

… the

The love I’ve searched for

Spent countless days

Wishing away

It occurs to me only now

That I needn’t wait

For only I can love myself like that

And I suddenly felt ashamed

Of all the years spent wasted

Missing out on that love

Wandering aimlessly

When all along

I could have been pouring

It into myself

…I

I can,

Dance recklessly in hope.

I’m trying,

But losing the magic of the moment.

Why not,

When you’ve already turned to walk away?

I won’t,

Stand here on my own waiting,

Anymore.

… those

Those of us who feel deeply

Death of hope blazes across the mind

Searing moments in memories,

Locking those away behind a wall

To pull out and dust off periodically.

Each tear shed holds words unsaid

Is there anything worse?

The absence, the soul crushing emptiness

Would rewind fix anything?

Time doesn’t go backwards

Always trudging endlessly forward

So the words I cannot say to you

Pour down my cheeks in paragraphs.

… in bed

In bed and minutes tick slowly

Why not your arms that hold me?

Aching for just a bit of you

A smile, a touch, or even a thought.

My heart screams your name

Beating against the prison bars

Shhhhhh I tell it

Not his. Not today.

Doesn’t matter anyway

… lost

Lost in darkness my mind runs away

The only place I know for sure

You’d be waiting there for me

Deep, and deeper still

Within my dreams are found

Those things I wish you felt

Instead all I see is the love

I have locked away, reflected back

At me.

…I’m

I’m fairly certain

You and I have met before

Souls seemingly connected

Drawn to each with a magnetic clink

Such as the ocean meets the shore

Inevitably, unable to change course

My heart longs for yours evermore
