white truths
Peter Bonvoisin May 2018
i feel
Complexity
oft times guilt that I can't hide
or abstain
on things that should, for the moment
stay
hidden
Released in peace
Sometimes I need to be careful about what I show, not overload you with some of the inner workings of myself. Careful seemingly controlled release, talk of happier events and thoughts will bring me forward. Wallowing is not the way.

pushed
Peter Bonvoisin Mar 2018
I don't want to work

to force clothed words
out of the hole in my
skull

I want to draw

to worship reality
with
my mineral fingers
the days of boxed in minds

Can you see
Peter Bonvoisin Mar 2018
Maybe I'm selfish and mean,
but I require more than passing phrase,
more than 'I miss you'.
I feel slighted and set aside
in your happiness.

Maybe I'm not able
to without bias,
consider what is best for you.
Taking a step back might be
the right way.

Just don't martyr yourself
in the search for
her happiness.
Am I there in your mind? Or has all territory been lost?

parallel
Peter Bonvoisin Feb 2018
time is meaningless
yet ultimately
all that matters
runs by time

we race time
in the search for each other
without intention
running
side     by     side
looking the same way
it is my fervent hope that we're going the same speed

on out
Peter Bonvoisin Feb 2018
push my up
on out, foot first
after my body but my mind stays
behind
wrapped up in sweated luxury
lost without your body to cling to

used to this comfort
both easier and harder to start
our timings normalize
the awkward body movement of the first light

Entitlement
Peter Bonvoisin Feb 2018
Sometimes I worry
That I've said too much
too little
Cut over             Or out
Used the wrong words
Hurt you
With bumbling use
Of my native language

The paradoxical irony
Of feeling well read
But unable to write myself
To be read well
It's easier in person

Hands
Peter Bonvoisin Nov 2017
warm or cold
I want to hold.

observed posture
A cup of tea
that seemingly inconsequential physicality
Too warm
let go

missing intimacy
seeking You out
The small moments that build up, an instinctive response

my words to you are true
Peter Bonvoisin Nov 2017
the dishonesty of honesty
when do we lie to ourselves
when do we lie to each other
intoxicated mutterings
differs between the indulgence
of substance or body
both result in doe-eyed appreciation
eyes attached
i mutter returns of your honesty
Excuses to talk the way we do, knowing that we brush over words when what we mean is clear.

why I would
Peter Bonvoisin Nov 2017
a glitter
of your neck
distracts attention, focusing imagination
charming your sworn thrall
brings thoughts of what’s within
your mind and heart
let us make that bedroom art
My motivation

Cold
Peter Bonvoisin Nov 2017
Outer surface of cold hands
holding thoughts in my warm palms
listening to thoughts through my cold ears
warm breath leaks into a frigid room
warm thoughts of skin to touch
I wish I was in bed with you.
A cold house without company

music
Peter Bonvoisin Nov 2017
mood changing
calming
focusing

when you profess sadness
or loneliness
it lessens mine

true a crutch
used to organize my feelings
and my emotions

at the other end I know myself better
a cross examination of humanity

sampling the samples of
a mind in a moment

making me feel
sorting complexity
a shiver on my arm

you provide context
clarity
The effect of music on my mind

Recurring
Peter Bonvoisin Nov 2017
I've wasted time not kissing you
But that thought is not new.
Your being truly captivates me;
Your lips, your hips,
Your thighs, your eyes.
Lost in a sea of our activity
My mind losing grip on reality
In the face of your intoxicating personality.

I've not wasted time in kissing you.
A thought that spins around in my head, when I see you and didn't say anything. Time that could have been better spent

Anticipation
Peter Bonvoisin Nov 2017
Fingers tracing the back of your hand,
Slowly, barely touching
They travel up your arm,
Down your back,
To cup and pull towards me
Hard bodies against each other
        Soft lips against each other;
Each skip and caress
Played out by your hands
Sets fire to my body,
We move together,
Writhing bodies,
Hastily
              We undress each other
Heat of our lips and mouths meeting,
There we stand naked;
A pause to drink with my eyes,
The full figure of my enhanced desire,
We reach forwards
       Quivering
Writing to you when I can't be there, promises of the future.

— The End —
