POEM 102

*It was the summer of ‘42,
her hair fell to her back,
streaked with sun light
and scented with salty air.
As her tanned toes
wiggled in the sand,
she turned and smiled-
a brown eyed, freckled smile,
pulling me
into a sea shell spiraling summer;
into a warm ocean’s kiss.

Aztec Warrior 12.14.15

I still want to touch you.
Punish you for what you've done.

I still want your skin on mine.
I can't deny, we've had fun.

I still want to show you things that no one else has.
I still want you to be comfortable with only me.

I want to feel your nails on my skin.
I want to hear your breath in my ear.
I want my hands in your hair.
I want your intense stare.

But it's not enough to want you.
The pain that's in my heart...

You prefer shredded paper over art.

I like the warmth of your body.
I like your hands in mine.
I like how you make me tremble
When our legs are intertwined.

I want to kiss your neck.
I want to touch you there.
I want to laugh beside you.
I want to pretend no one else is there.

Even if it's temporary.
Even if I don't believe in love.

Even if you hate me.
Even if you hurt me.

You.
Right now, I want you.

I can't be happy
Away from you
I am happy
Being YOU
I am happy thinking of you
I am happy LOVING YOU
I am happy that I met you
I am happy
That it was through YOU
That LOVE touched me

I don't mind sharing my smiles with the world
But that would be a dead smile
Without you my smiles are a dead dud

I have said you yesterday
When we were together
It 'was' LOVE

I will say it now
It 'is' LOVE

I will say it till I DIE
I am in LOVE with you

Not only the "romantic" type
That is not the LOVE I am talking about
All encompassing 'AGAPE' LOVE

I do not want you to hide away from fear of LOVE

I opened up to you
Like I never opened to any one else
Without hesitation
I told you all my inner secrets

I touched you and felt your love
You know -
I never wash my palm
The day I touch you

Your presence has brought me
Not only closer
But made me part of you
I am yours
You are mine
Everything of mine is yours
You consider it or not
You are my family and will remain so

I want you to know
I am YOURS...
And will remain so...

I care for you every moment
I spare a whole field of flowers
In your thought

Each word of your reverberates in my soul
I feel like dying away from you
When someone says your name
I want to be with YOU

YES, YES, YES
Know it...

I still long for you
Every single moment
Every Milli-fraction of
Every second

And you too know
I would give
Nine worlds & nine lives
To Be with YOU
