We are like two celestial bodies
On different orbits
That keep us apart
In a beautiful elliptical dance
Every now and then
We collide
And return to our orbits
That pull us further and further apart
Only to repeat the cycle all over again

I undressed you
in my mind
You spoke to me
with your eyes
We danced that way
delicately
Time after time

I lie here soaking in your warmth
fighting off the chill of reality
tracing circles around your areola with my finger
wondering how I got here
and how I will escape
love's indifference is not welcome here
and neither am i this time
Lusts veracity had been fed
the fetter of desire has been shed

A momentary fervor
Wipe sweat from brow
Think,
Think harder
Dream, daydream
Of fingers on flesh
Eyes a gaze with fire
Hearts ablaze with desire
No reading minds
Or between the lines
Just simple wants and needs
And everything in between
Just you
Just me
Warm summer night
No sheets
Just skin
I dream of simplicity

I wait

"Time waits for no one"

I watch

I think

I analyze
I calculate

Risk
Reward
Profit
Loss

I wait

"Time waits for no one"

These things take time
They don't happen overnight

"Time waits for no one"

*******, some things are worth waiting for
I wait

"Are you happy?"

Things could be worse

"That's not an answer"
"Are you happy"

No
It could be worse

"Life is short"
"You only get one shot"
"Time is precious"
"You're not getting any younger"

*******
I wait.  
Some things are worth waiting for

"Time waits for no one"

She moves free like the breeze
Going wherever it takes her
Floating high above life
Above the complexities
Her mind follows gracefully
She speaks only art
Through soft pink lips
She shapes and creates
Floating sculptures, art exhibits
They flow from her mouth
Elegantly crafted and vivid
But the real art
The best made sculpture
Can be found
In the curve of her hips

true love litters my life
my list of highs and lows
for certain the genesis
of the highest highs
and lowest lows
as with anything,
the higher the climb
the further
and more painful
the fall

love is a living creature
it needs to fed
to be nourished
but even when nourished,
it is infinitely fleeting,
dying

I've always tried
to cherish it while I have it
and brace for the loss
when it's fate seems uncertain
that's all I've found to do

it is unpredictable
it can't be tamed
or held captive
a wild beast
relentless in its thirst
