intertwined,
with a lover,
tender kisses,
curled in the curves,
of skin and skeletons,
a duo,
a pair,
together.
scents,
creating perfume,
sheets,
twirled like a tornado,
body heat,
an ember,
erupts into fire.

beating hearts,
the same pace,
breathing slow,
speeding up,
pulse racing,
sweat,
dripping.

inside my love,
the expression of pleasure,
colours her skin,
watercolours,
burst into flames.

my love inside me,
his energy,
powerful and strong,
explosion,
a volcano.

intertwined,
eyes locked,
laughter,
kisses so tender,
and
love is the only
thing found here.

two poets, four elements

the mountain on which i perch from
stains the horizon like a coffee mark on crisp linen
i'm like a shelf collecting dust
musty books line my weathered surfaces
knowledge spilled across yellowed pages
age contributes to my value

wrinkles on pages

i don't know what to say
i'm actually putting this in here
clutching at straws
tossing errant thoughts on paper
like a two year old gratifying a fresh painted wall
all the things i want to say, i wish i could articulate

in one word

like a boat on troublesome water
waves crashing
i surrender myself, let the tide pull me in
let me lay with seaweed and bedrocks
heart strings be my anchor in the deepest seas
and the serenity of the beach of your thighs

be my respite

star glitter crackling on kindling winds
campfires cast faces in the midnight still
moonlit lovers sparks passions ablaze
skin on skin warmth out-burns the sun
burnt marshmallows like black holes
cool, charred and bitter

no longer sweet

"we should write something together"
& so this poem was born.

forest.

the word i identify
with the most
is
loss.

like a seed, 'loss' is planted into the earth
and will soon
be flowers.

x

the second word i identify
with the most
is
growth.

like a tree, tall and strong
'growth' will stand for 100 years
longer than ill ever be alive

but will adventure with me
until i die.

despite it all,
never lose sight of
what makes you feel alive.

J.

All this time I've been looking at it
Through a victims lens
Oh poor me
To have lost you
No longer an opportunity
Only felt your bed once
Sang in front of you
I never do that for anyone
We kissed and you never
Had the pleasure
Of meeting my curves
Caressing my grooves
Your skin never on my skin
You never will hear me laugh again
At your similar humour
We won't record a song
I won't watch you mix it
I saw this all
As a loss to me
Poor, poor little B
Alone again
(And without you).

But you
Are also alone
Again
Chose aloneness,
Rather than togetherness.

It is you
Who has lost the most
This hurts me
I feel sorry for you
I think this says,
A lot about who I am.

Most of all,
I am unsure if you even know
what
you
have
truly
lost.

week one.

may the sunshine
find its way into your heart
clearing the debris
leaving its light
in the holes
that were empty
with blackness
birthing new life
into old wounds
forgotten but not released
from the cage it sits
nursing cuts and bruises
tourniquets wrapped around
like lolly wrappers
tightly
the bleeding stops
the skin begins the
repairing process
the heart pumps
the light into the body
from head to toe
attaching itself to every
fiber of this being
the harshness vacates itself
leeches no longer *******
the pureness of innocence
the small amount that she still retains
taken was everything else
except sanity
she kept that
despite all of the insanity
she was immersed in
of others, not her own

its almost a week since you said "you can't do this".
in that same amount of time, you've consumed my waking and sleeping mind and will continue to do so.
do I yours?

surfing.

(you are not mine)

I ride this wave alone.
surfboard.
crash.
drown.

up for air.
breathe again.
eyes open.
sunshine.

feet on sand.
i escaped the pull of pain.
within the waves.
of heartache.

i long for you.
to wrap me in a towel.
your arms.
cradle my small body.

strip out of wetness.
step into heat.
water washing away the fear.
i felt in the sea.

------

(and if you were...)

crawl into sheets.
mattress underneath,
you on top.
all your weight.
pushing me into bliss.

rise.
from slumber.
your body against mine.
warmth and wetness meet again.

chew. swallow.
nourished by grains.
tea,
brew.
wake me further.

my day begins and ends.
with you.
i find my way.
back to your love.

troubled.
over-thinking.
you quiet the noise.
crippled.
you caress this soul.

i meet the sea again.
and you pull me free.
from the waves.
of a scarred brain.
that has seen evil.
and monsters.

you love me regardless.
of my foibles.
and.
you set me free.

riding the wave alone in this life.

you.

the type of love that you seek
is unconditional.
available as you need it.
will never reject you
or abandon you.
will not walk away when things get tough
and tell you goodbye.
hold you as you cry.
lift you up when you're down.
carry you through this life.
make you feel whole.
treat you like a queen.
see your beauty and
kindness.

fill your cup until it overflows.
a river that never meets a drought.
love you so hard,
that you soften.

love is not weakness.
it is the truth.
universally, every single day,
love you.
even when you can't see what makes
you so special and magnificent.
will still love you so.
until death do us part.
until you breathe your last breath.
until you close your eyes for the very last time.

will love you from the deepest of the seas,
washing waves over your pain and
cascading down a rock face, a waterfall,
to shower you with my light.

where does this love come from?

..
you.

love yourself.
