SHARE DU’s MOST IMPACTFUL~MERITORIOUS LOVE POEMS(4anthology)

 
a half smoked cigarette  
that you snubbed out  
deciding I wasn't your brand  
 
still I desire you  
the gravel in your voice  
rattles my soul  
shakes me to my core  
 
where did you come from?  
 
demon, angel  
or something all together different  
so unique to anyone  
I've ever crossed paths with  
 
your smoky brown eyes mesmerize  
of course you would say this is all silly nonsense  
that I should concentrate on myself  
yet into my dreams your visage comes pounding in  
 
escapism is at the heart of the matter  
I'm not happy  
you are my distraction  
five years now I've danced on your periphery  
in that time you've picked me and put me down  
 
you are the tangible in my unsure world  
I'm crazy but you always knew that  
 
reach in and touch me in my dark places  
feed the fiend in me  
pour gasoline on my fire  
burn me down to the ground with your ferocity  
 
smoke me with your poetry  
then put me out  
 
 
 
 
 
 

 


And when that song comes on
no matter what's happening
or what's going on,

I'll always crave a
slow dance with you.

               
               
               
she wrote our tapestry                
in stars that stare down      
São Paulo streets                   
singing ballads to                
Rufous Bellied Thrush'                
composed Samba steps                
through paving blocks                
her soul passionately                
kissed my consciousness                
               
he carved Ceibo flowers                
in flaked rainbow wall paintings                
etched finger hearts in fogged              
panel glass sheets                
counted Tango steps                
on marbled window sills                
drinking calabash tea from                
a steel straw      
breathing "ame"      
in early morning autumn mist                
his body warmed my heart                
               
souls entwined, plaited French                
"je t'aime" like tails of hair                
breathing duets, singing "amore"                
physically there                
though it's been 8 beats, 6 steps                
from windows frames; sit to stare      
               
breakfast laid bare                
the emotions shared                
each morning; from first rooster                
to hearts and diamonds                
in bright morning beams                
of prismatic light              
        
               
perched bodies peeled from          
the home we've made there

but every moment  
with you feels like    
a new adventure  
   
no matter how    
big or small it is,  
   
as we watch    
many climb up a  
golden escalator  
throughout both    
our lifetimes  
   
i'll turn my head  
towards you, slow    
blinking our secret    
little message with  
a smile on my face  
   
knowing I will never    
finish falling in love  
with you, as your    
name leaves my  
mouth warm    
and tender.
