Anderson M May 2017
When we first met
It’s like the sun had
Risen and it wouldn’t set
We were awake in mad
Feeling for each other
And all day and night
We would smother
Each other with light
Kisses and a myriad pecks
On cheeks despite living
In the sticks
Nevertheless we weren’t a trifling
Couple, we were the whole world
In each other’s eyes, and that’s joyfully sad.
Now,well...maybe we get too much under each other's skins

She hugs me tightly to herself
I feel all resolve ebb away from me
What with being encumbered from all sides with cold
And she offering the only surety of warmth
I sink deeper and deeper into
Her warm fold indefinitely.
Waking up on cold mornings is a war that's seldom won.

Ever wondered why
Sound’s only intense
In its absolute absence
One's senses are stretched taut
just on the edge of snapping.

To predominantly think metaphorically
is an ideal unlike any other.
One ends up being nestled
in expanses of splendor and wonder
that outstrip any literal shortcomings.

It’s raining, drizzling
I am walking in the rain.
The heavens are weeping gracefully
Their faces hidden from sight
I dance and prance in the rain
In jovial nonchalance, lost in thought
Wondering, marveling and wringing my mind dry
Why the heavens are beside themselves
In such an out-pour of emotion.
Well, I truly don’t know why the heavens weep.

Are precious accessories
That are worn on rare
Occasions, fleetingly.
Whiffs of smoke
In a variety of color
That becloud the mind.
Anderson M May 2017
Loved you whole fiercely
With every sinew and particle
Of my punctured soul.

Lived, existed and thrived
On the hope of you and I
Being united.

Inseparable
A love with so much verve it
Tends to unnerve us.

You chose to softly
**** me with indifference
An absent presence.
I see you daily
I hungrily partake of your essence
But you choose to take offense
