Self feeding loop

Pain soothed by love
Love gives strength
Strength eases pain
In return gives back love
Love to sooth with...

Both of us so "broke", yet have the richest transactions.

Hesitated seconds of breath with lips barely touching. Breathing in as they collide with passionate exchange.
Tongues explore and articulate wordless desire.
Fingertips trace from behind the ear, down the neck...one finger added at a time as they run along supple flesh to the collarbone,   hand making full contact to the chest, finding the beat of pounding heart.
Another hand crawls from waist to shoulder,  up along carotid with synchronizing beats of the heart, up into hair where fingers spread and grasp with intentioned pull.
And so it the challenge shall begin...
Though it seems we both win.

Each night lulled to sleep by the sweet tick tock,
Of the steady beat from my bedside clock.
Longing it to be the rhythm of your heart,
Yet echoing in my own as we're apart.
I dreamt of being held tight in your arms,
Though woke lonely to ringing alarms.
I quieted the dancing bells with distain,
Facing reality I'm without you again.
I reach for you the only way I have known,
A message, reminder, picture or poem.
One day, some day wishes will come true...
Nestled up close I'll lay next to you.
I'll fall asleep to the kind beat of your heart,
Embraced in your arms wanting never to part.
In the morning we'll wake still holding tight,
Just as we remained throughout all the night.
I'll give you sweet kisses to start your day,
My eyes telling yours all I need to say.
Alas each night, my dear clock I shall wind,
To dream of your heart beating next to mine.

My heart craves the most bittersweet taste of your poetry...

Connection since effection
I constantly crave
Your affection
and your...

I long to fall asleep to the readings of Poe.

I dread the bitter taste of nightmares when consuming sleep.

Maybe it's time
To let go
I don't know

Maybe it's time
To let myself cry
And be alright

Maybe it's time
To say good-bye to the maybe...
No more out of place,
don't erase or deface...
Just embrace me.
This time is borrowed,
from my birth til I die...
stop wasting away,
held back with the why.

It is time
To move forward
Time to move on
Let my worries drift off as old song

It is time
To stand up
Time to rise above
Let go the fear so I may feel love

It is time
To grow strong
Time to unfold
Let myself warm from the bitter cold

It is time
To let go
I know
It is time
To let myself fly
To be alright
It is time
To say hello
Let myself get back
to the me I know.

You reach into your chest,
then with hands outstretched,
Offering your bleeding heart for me to savor.

Like a fiend I devour my ration,
each supple bite of primal passion,
Lick every drop from your fingertips, addicted to your flavor.

My art is my heart with he.
Yours is ours without the why.
You'll never be the same without me.

As a child innocent, I briefly knew love.
I grew up, quickly tarnished, and in my years lost the companion of myself, my shadow.
I gathered pieces through my life, to fill the void, yet never whole, never complete. I surrendered, satisfied with the best I could do.
You flew into my life, through a window I thought I'd sealed tight in the stable structuring of my world.
As I was looking into the mirror, I caught a glimpse of you behind me, my shadow. I turned intrigued by your familiarity, only to find you curiously staring back at me.
You stepped forward, I stepped back. You stepped back I stepped forward. Left and then right, and we synchronized into natural dance as if it had always been.
We laughed, played and cried, settling with a sigh into sweet embrace.
Reflections mirrored in one another's eyes. Entranced in awe we drew closer, tasting exchanged sweet breaths of serenity.
I gave you a thimble, eternally filled with my passion. You returned to me with an acorn, radiating with your deep rooted love.
I vowed never to trap you, you vowed never to leave me.
We live in a land of the never, savoring the bittersweet reality of our fantasies.
We shall know never what would've been.
We shall know never what will be.
We shall know never apart, never an empty heart.

Dearest Kidnapper-
      You broke in, took my soul captive, and stole my heart, destroyed my fear and inhibitions.
      I should feel need for escape, recovery and rebuild my defenses...Yet here I am, with no will to run.
     Quite frankly you are the poorest excuse for a criminal. Actually you have been more than wonderful, doing nothing but filling me with your own heart, warming me with your soul, singing your sweet poetry to occupy my mind, and ensuring I'm not without affections.
     I think authorities were notified, but I've seen no sign of them finding us, as you've tucked us away so well in your secret lair.
I realize now, I shall never leave, let alone find my way out even if you released me.
     You may keep my heart, for I have yours. I promise to take gentle care of your soul, as you have nourished mine.
      Any ransom you may have thought to ask for should be considered paid in full.
Though I think I have fallen ill with a condition...
Is it so strange I tell you I love you?
Eternal regards,
Willing Hostage

Tired of this work.
I had an escape route in place, but alas it escaped me.

Rush or wait, love or hate
Commit or betray, leave or stay
Fulfill or tease, flirt or please
Be strong or be weak, be humble or be chic
Embrace or isolate, **** hard or *******
Listen or confide, shine or hide
Deny or accept, withdraw or connect
Speak or write, falter or fight
Crumble and grow
Ebb and flow
Laugh and cry
Live not die
Let go to hold tight
Be wrong to be right...

Words put just right make for a pretty visual...
The scene of their reality is pretty messy.

Whether near or apart
We are always one heart
You together with me
Forever loved we be

Parting kisses saying until...
Relighting fire, you give me will.

I'm FINE
****** (up)
Insecure
Neurotic
Emotional
...
Now please, stop asking me.

Nine wasted words to say one that matters most....love.

I said you said I, as our hearts feel synchrony.

Pavement punishes my feet, running harder, feed it my pain.

Restless night now face the day
Cue the master puppeteer

I hate time with you...
It never lasts long enough.

I'll never tell you good-bye,
always awaiting the next...until.

You hold me
Upon a pedestal,
Though I tremble from the height.

I know you
will not let me fall,
Yet I still put up a fight.

You love me
unconditional,
Give me hope and confidence .

You show me
I am beautiful,
That I can laugh and sing and dance.

You calm me
with gentle whisper
That I'm meant to be up high.

I realize now
what you strive for
Is just to see me eye to eye.

I love you
no hesitation
As I have from very start.

I show you
My eyes reflection,
For it is mirrored to your heart.

Pressed against the wall tasted better pressed against the door.

I bet you can't stop, must read to the end because I wrote this for you.
You, yes you, sitting there scrolling through poems. Do you like the style, the words, maybe the message?
Does it call to your mood today, or would you have loved it more yesterday, live it out more tomorrow...
Because it said something, said anything to you?!
Maybe you're looking to relate, or for inspiration.
Maybe you are inspired, but just drawing a blank?
Depressed, in love, happy, mournful, angry, joyous, betrayed or elated?
Doesn't matter...though it ALL matters! Otherwise you wouldn't be doing it, feeling it, denying it, any of it....reading it, hearing it, writing it, singing it...
So you, yes you...don't hover over if you like or don't like enough, you gave and had time to be here, sharing this EXACT moment with me...And all I have to say, is thank you. Thank you for spending one moment with me, making me a little less lonely.
