emme-1 - Hello Poetry

I lie on the grass and tell you, over the phone How the sunlight warms my skin into smooth honey The low drone of insect and airplane Lazy sound of a summer day Scent of warmed earth and green as I shade my eyes The sun does not make me drip, sweet and liquid Any more than you do

I want to talk to you aimlessly Like I would on a warm afternoon Lying back looking up at the sky Through the mulberry tree in my yard Artless and unselfconscious Chewing on the white end of grass coaxed slowly from the blade Lazy observations in a distracted tone Scent of sun and sweat

Do you want me to love you? Why do you want me to love you? Isn't it enough I was willing to overturn my life for you once? Isn't it enough I bore your scorn, undeserved? Isn't it enough I cried for a year over you? That I spent hours ranting at you and reviling you in my head? And yet you've come back, after a fashion, turning my world on it's head yet again. "What I want is the opportunity for ME to love YOU."

The show of looking in my eyes to see how they are different now An excuse for eye contact, because you know it will draw me in You cast lures for me I know this Almost a stealth campaign First curiosity Now covetousness You have so much already Why must you collect me, as well?

Cat sleeps innocent in my lap His paws outstretched Possessive I shiver when your finger moves down my spine

I did not know your eyes were blue Small suns ring your pupils perihelion As you come closer You become significant light blurs my vision Polarizing sun Perpendicular conscience Horizontal will ~~~ Eyes wide Ingenue again You make my toes curl ~~~ Apollo is come Dionysus cuts loose Cassandra moans

I don't have a playbook for this love. In every other relationship I have or had, there is a decoding: • If he does this, it means... • When this situation happens, the correct response is... • When he says this, it indicates... There are timetables and destinations stages that must occur in sequence things that have to happen before certain conversations can be had milestones goals And here I am I have no expectations I have no game plan There is no strategy I am I love

We sat on the floor of a quiet corridor in a mall Listening to a tango He translated the lyrics for me Disillusioned, heartbreaking Spanish into English Searching for the right words My own heart broken open, though I did not know it at the time
