Even then love knew
Esoteric bullshit like
love at first sight
could eat a bag
of hot dick
because I’ve born fucking witness
on this ragged road
of shoulda-coulda-woulda
shaking my empty bones
in a self-sabotage closet
Lust is.
Desire is.
Obsession is.
but love.
love was illiterate
until I caught you
watching me
watching you
(watch me)
back before we twisted sheets
and made lust bleed for mercy
before my teeth found your shoulder
and the sweaty outline of my
body stained the wallpaper
like a need crime scene
before even,
the moment your lips
shocked mine back to life
and then repeated the
revivification on my mouth
but love.
love.
became
the soft moment
when a deaf-mute sentiment
trawled along the floor
craving a moment of clarity
yeah, then.
that moment was
the moment which makes
make the great poets shit
from their mouths.
love (we)
knew.
We knew
we knew as
love found phonemes
in hitching scrawl on a
wadded-up page
pulled from a
trash can that
never cared
and love caught syllables
in the way you
caught my dark brown eyes
under lamplight flickering
across sane ages
and love wove truth in flowing script
when there was nothing
but the taste of
existence in an empty world.
and love knew
love knew
as your fingers brushed my
wrist and my mouth
salivated at the thought
of your chestskin
under my nails
Esoteric bullshit like
love at first sight
pulled pages from ether
like a magician with silver dollars
and your fingertips
raised chills on the
tender side of my forearms
and we found elucidation
in poetic meanderings
and tied heartstrings.
because desire is.
and lust is.
and, yeah, obsession is.
But love knew.
Even then.
Love knew.

Love is a tricky character that can kiss you on the mouth and give a blow job one minute, than pull out a knife and stab you until it knows your heart is shredded.
Good to see you writing again.

I just like to say esoteric bullshit. It's like a lexical orgasm.
Esoteric... say it again... esoteric.... now say... egalitarian... OMG YES Let's do F's now!
Fuck!
Oh... shit. That's as far as my big cool words go.

Awww yeah, the match of the decade, the battle of the cunning linguists.
Hand me a bib. I'm messier than you are at this.

When self-sabotage can take a breather…
That’s the shit.
I’m so happy for you, girl.
I miss you. I’d ask where the f have you been, but I can see where you’ve been - living in bliss.

DUUUDDEE. I'm as busy as a two-dicked man at a gang bang. For reals.
Through the end of the year is my busiest time, so I'll be on an off for a bit.
But LURVE YOU! Thank you!

Glad you survived Milton! That bastard!!

The Fuck
I tried to get you a pardon but the warden extended your sentence. Sorry. I tried.
At least I finally got you into obsession rehab.
All that kale and vodka have a good vibe.
Glad you're back, it was hard carrying the load without ya ....

Darling, I am never done with obsession. I'm just tying it in new positions.
Kale (shivers) I will eat, literally anything. But I'd rather not eat Kale. It gives me icks. The prickly texture is... icky. But pass the Vodka!
Hey, keep carrying, Sheriff. I'm gonna be MIA more than I'm here for a while, so get the judge to extend my pardon.

That right there caused such a profound pause of breath as mind whispered "yes..." Just amazing
