If I Could Hold You Once More

The Sun has risen and set
Not once, but twice
since I last held you in my arms.
And now these arms,
which I believed could endure any strain,
Now ache to hold you.

Those lips are intoxicating,
Pale and sweet as honey wine.
Reminiscing their cloying savour,
Softly parting with my tongue,
Feeling the heat of your mouth,
Provokes my heart to palpate furiously,
my head to spiral and eclipse into a dream-like euphoria..

When you are lying beneath me,
Our bodies undulating like an ocean’s waves,
I surrender myself to that wide-eyed gaze,
free-falling into pools of starlight,
Enraptured by the flawless curves of your ivory skin.

Our two bodies becoming one,
Over and over and over again.

We crash against one another,
Pour ourselves into each other,
Cawing  at one another
As if we could rip through flesh and bone,
grasping that vibrating luminescence

that is the human soul.

A Natural Disaster

I would leave my heart open
But fear it would change the tides.
It is not that I am
Afraid to love,
Afraid to let go,
Afraid to fall.
I fear what repercussions
That impact would incur,
What chaos those untethered
Emotions and ideas would bring,
What pole reversals, tectonic plate shifts,
And general upheaval of this frail reality

My unchecked Love would render.
