Across this system
And back

From such a place
Few ever know

To You freely given
Unconditional

And yet, I cannot
Know again

Ever.
Jack R Fehlmann Jan 2021
What?
Does an affirmation
In itself take?

So much more.

More than offered here?
Thousands?

Words poured.

In better ways than mine?
To take the need away.

Take these things.

Take so much to take
What little I fail to say.

This light I spin my world around
This day and night type design
The warmth cast upon from above
How completely the heavens hold
Every once around I get, a blessing,
a gift like dawn coming to set again
As brilliant and perfect each is
I am amazed and insignificant
Simply along for but a brief tick
But in love and humbled to witness
Our place in the heavens
This embrace of sol
She speaks of skirts and dresses
And outings by the sea;
She speaks of curls and tresses
And ribbons flowing free.
She speaks of her successes
And all that she could be;
She speaks of nonthelesses
But never speaks of me.

She looks at morning's start of day
And colours in the sky.
She sees the flowers by the way
And graceful birds that fly.
She watches children gay at play,
Amid the hue and cry;
She looks at breezy trees that sway
But never looks at I.

She thinks of odes of poets told
And relishes with glee;
Tales and yarns of sagas old
As classic scripts decree.
She ponders oft of heroes bold,
In awe of them is she;
She thinks of wonders to behold
But never thinks of me.

Fools are we,
You and I
To dare so close to embers

Glowing
as our wants are

Simple thoughts,
and touch
Heated consequence
within

A pleasant pain,
and breath
Flames fed to this

Oranges made
Devour
Salty reasons not
To, do
What you going
To do here
Encouraging the fire
Into new layers

Flames rage
loosed as they are
Burn to blue,
Violets shifting
blinding
to white inferno

As our senses
bodies
press flesh grinding

lost to all but
wanting
To know, having

yet
Our souls no longer
So innocent
Sacrificed

Offered eager
Unto this
hellish pit

As we fall in
so too
do our truths
melt

Down between
Throughout
Aching intimate
Sacred places
Glisten

Like sweat rolling
From your flesh
Tastes salty
Inviting

Feels right
Being squeezed
While holding
tightly

Trailing lightly
Traced fingers
Create such need
shimmer, moans rising

Lost in yours,
Giving my own
Pushing to
pulling
twisting apart,
spinning swirls into falling
thrusting
and writhing

Fooling
the eyes if found upon

folding in, blending
Out
licking, kissing
Biting

passionate
and
perfect

waving in and out
Our maelstrom
builds

Stretching and I
want more

The pressures howl
erupting unimaginable
delight

To be sated
We
All consumed

No more me,
no more you

only

ashes left
blackish-white

Fall apart

Carbon & Desire

Never had it that way...

Never felt that side of leaving.

Haven't heard pain,

pleading for me to please, please not leave...

Baby please stay...

Haven't made the choice to stop feeling...

On the other side of leaving

its always been me on the damaged end

Not to be, must be something.

Or is it more difficult?

How would I explain?

When I don't fully understand...

Hearts change?

Could I let you down just to walk away?

All while knowing...

Having myself felt that pain,..

I've never had it that way.

The other side of leaving

I write and through these

dreams, made always to make up

new ways, old weights hold on

To say again, in whispered pen

pressed against,
days of pages

as I, have,

to cry out the  

old things unbroken

strings still strung so tightly

unused sigh

loss, is salt upon inner most

these words echo the broken

closure, no closer to repair

All of the things that can hurt

As they have and I endure

as I must alone

I use words

To tell a world

out of reach

how it is for me

that I may comprehend

and pretend they reach you

in this accepting

my truth of loves cost

exercise my restless wants

and longings

my chosen words

to see or feel

Or love and want

what cannot be

because I need to

when I write for Me

and not just, about You
