They are ours.
The still small, smiling, crying
laughing, angered, forever hungry
Except for when its time to eat
Children.
Your children from your hips
My children from my *****
The answered prayers.
That flit to and fro
Fast and slow.
The sleepless nights
And late mornings
And causes of worry
And constant delight
We made those.

Why should they care
To be up in arms
When I'm in yours?
Shouldn't we wrap us
In dreams, music
and pastel horizons?
And if must let them
Be ignorant of who
We be together.

I awake
Having not slept
As the moon sets,
Soft light nestled
Like warmth and draped
Over your curves.
My sons you have birthed
And patiently you've waited
For my slowly unraveling heart.
I am inwardly old and slow with these things and so you walk, not run with me.
Together
We reside in a moment
Of soft breaths and peace.
Should I not work till death creaks
In my bones to provide you
A mirror of heavens peace
Here with me?

My ten toes down.
But I walk as though
The very ground
Upon which the sky stands
Cannot touch me.
I sit, stand, walk, run...
Eyes forward And
Too aware of what's behind.
The past for now not fleeting.
Breathing down my blindside
When I reminisce
Should I revisit
Your memory.
I look to the hills
The horizon over which
My past is withered away
And forgotten

Between rest and peace
I slip.
The memories of you drip
(Sweat between your thighs)
into my dreams, and ink
the effervescent sighs
of my soul with the colour
of you.

Do you feel the hunger
In my embrace?
A ravenous deep pulls you into me.
(Darkness clings to the stars
the ocean laps, crashes, and slips
Into the sands)
I sip, and sift you slow
through my desires.
How does it feel to be my need?

12 am.
I ghost write in your dms.
The hidden side of me
Comes out to speak
Descriptions of soft weekends.
Fantastical phantom words
That weave together our beginnings
We balance on a lie
If anyone found out we'd end
So
Delete the messages
Or press unsend.
Solely between us
Our secret sins.

You're saccharine smile kindles
The wordsmith within me and
I alight with desire
To please you with words
In ways that no touch ever could
To weave dreams from ink
Into emotions that sink into your deep
Like fingertips drenched in nectar.
To give a pleasure
That burns fierce as the sun
that peaks over the Namibia desert.

I
found one hundred ways
to say your name.
I gathered all the titles of royalty,
And the forgotten gems
Of dead languages,
And wrote them of you,
Attached till the end of time
To your every inch.
Oh.
Fool am I, forever.
How I wish I could
Reach into the past,
Steal my poems,
Seal my pens,
Hide deep within, my letters
For a one in the future.
To tattoo her with e’ry character;
Rhetoric kissed into her skin
With phoneticized thoughts,
Communicated, like electricity
T’ween she and I, synapses.
Oh.
She deserves my thousands of
Insights gathered in the palm of mind.
And I had given them all to you.
Forever, and in hindsight
And passive reflection
With soft of exhaled breath
Past lips goes,
Oh.
