Cry in the Dark
Do you ever wonder why
Repeatedly that final night
I whimpered out your name
into the darkened space
twixt you & I
Grasping for your presence?
I needed you to fill me
feared, then, that you were leaving
for the final time…
Leaving me empty
Reaching in the darkness for your touch
Even now, I cry out your name
And dream you’re still here
Filling me again
Repeatedly that final night
I whimpered out your name
into the darkened space
twixt you & I
Grasping for your presence?
I needed you to fill me
feared, then, that you were leaving
for the final time…
Leaving me empty
Reaching in the darkness for your touch
Even now, I cry out your name
And dream you’re still here
Filling me again

Nervous Twitch
My eye is twitching today & I
Remember how my eye twitched that day…
Anxiety?
Excitement?
Nervousness?
Anticipation?
You held me close
Rewrote all
to peace
my missing piece
Today is probably
Start of school jitters
Worries, etc.
now, remembering your peace
Rewrites my day to calm
Always,
Missing Piece

Rewrites my day to calm

If, My Love,
My long-desired Love,
if we again, one day, might meet
In some solitary place
Let there be no inhibitions
Hold me in your strong embrace.
Then all secret pent-up visions,
Every longing aching dream…
I desire all your passions
As a rushing roiling stream
In its pure natural turmoil
Let it all wash over me
Once the flood has receded,
Simply may I with you be?
to see & know & touch your face
Gently, oh so gently,
In the calm, on the lake
Let us simply be, My Love,
Together
Love
If…
if we again, one day, might meet
In some solitary place
Let there be no inhibitions
Hold me in your strong embrace.
Then all secret pent-up visions,
Every longing aching dream…
I desire all your passions
As a rushing roiling stream
In its pure natural turmoil
Let it all wash over me
Once the flood has receded,
Simply may I with you be?
to see & know & touch your face
Gently, oh so gently,
In the calm, on the lake
Let us simply be, My Love,
Together
Love
If…

Inside your heart
Lay the remnants of my home
You are my happy place
As I wish you
Would rest inside my heart
Would live inside my pleasure
Would have me be
All yours
Inside your heart
Love
You are my happy place
As I wish you
Would rest inside my heart
Would live inside my pleasure
Would have me be
All yours
Inside your heart
Love

Do you sense?
Have you a clue
How much
How very much
I love you
Crave you
Adore you
Want you
Need you
Desire you
Seek you
Cling to you…
Aching is the constant
In your absence…
Incomplete
Describes existence without you…
Sapiosexual I am
For you…
Your beautiful mind & heart & soul
Ever draw me closer
Yet even if deranged you grow
I will love you still
You are my Missing piece
You are my Someday
You are my forever Love
How much
How very much
I love you
Crave you
Adore you
Want you
Need you
Desire you
Seek you
Cling to you…
Aching is the constant
In your absence…

Your beautiful mind & heart & soul
Ever draw me closer

I will love you still
You are my Missing piece
You are my Someday
You are my forever Love

Travel Companion
City bustle & calm jungle lakes
Ethnic spices and sweet rice cakes
Mystic temple caves, scenic highlands,
Bluff-side hot springs & ape islands
In far-off countries where adventure takes
Still missing the joy your presence creates
This longing heart lies in a dryland…
Someday might I wander while holding your hand?
For you, for only you, I still will wait…

Memories
On a river of memories
I drifted again today
To a garden of roses
A green field dotted with daisies
Where we napped on a blanket
that I still have
Just like these memories of you
You should’ve featured
In these more current ones too
They miss you
Like I do
I drifted again today
To a garden of roses
A green field dotted with daisies
Where we napped on a blanket
that I still have
Just like these memories of you
You should’ve featured
In these more current ones too
They miss you
Like I do

Petals
Not good with words?
Me neither
Not really
But this heart on my sleeve
Scatters words
As a flower girl with petals
The scent of roses
Whispering
I love you
Me neither
Not really
But this heart on my sleeve
Scatters words
As a flower girl with petals
The scent of roses
Whispering
I love you

Torment of the Silenced
Being unable
Even to express with words or actions
These deep strong persisting feelings
Emanating aches from my heart
Throughout my body soul & being
Only exacerbates the pain
Of missing you
Even to express with words or actions
These deep strong persisting feelings
Emanating aches from my heart
Throughout my body soul & being
Only exacerbates the pain
Of missing you

Yes, I am aware
I don’t know you very well
Anymore
It’s illogical to believe
I love you
Yet I DO
It’s been too long since I’ve seen you,
conversed,
since I’ve truly known you
Yet somehow at times,
I DO
I DO want to know you ever more & more
I DO know with certainty how very much
I love you!
I DO need to touch your body
(with such electric passion)
unceasing
I don’t really know you anymore
Yet I KNOW somehow
I LOVE you
Yes, I AM aware
It baffles reasoning & logic…
Baffles the exodus of...

It is an honor
Being a safe haven
For those tears…
I’ll carry them
Close to my heart
Raincatcher
For those I love
An honor
For those tears…
I’ll carry them
Close to my heart
Raincatcher
For those I love
An honor
