You gave me words.
You stole my breath.
You lingered lovely,
Such empty tests.

I lost my footing.
I gained my sight.
I couldn't draw you.
I say good night.

The stage is set.
Time de-compose.
To leave me at the door.

I'll find such sleep.
Short as life.

Dreaming,

On the floor.

Please turn me, lovely,
Such wretched figure,
Swaying, laced, and coy.

Please, lay me, lonely,
Trade flesh for peaceful,
Compulsion's little toy.

I'll write nocturnal,
Though feel full daily,
This ownership you've made.

I'll fight desire's
Sweet, dark fires.
My dues are all but paid.

Engage the linking,
And free the fray.

The cuts, the blood, the dues.

Deepen the giving.
That rooted loving.

Embrace the roses

....however blue.

Breathe your dreams.
In reach the self.
Sideline all debate.

In/As God's design,
You will spend your time.
Allow the created, to, create.

A water surround,
A tilt of the head.
I know well enough:
A tub's not a bed.

A leak and the drips.
A flooding of thought.
The temperant time bomb's-
Wet medium watch.

I'll sleep with intention.
After dry-rise, *****.
The luxurious freedom,
Of bachelor bed.

A clarity won,
Expressable whiles.
The nocturning wisdom,
Of fallover smiles.

Verbose as the Sky,
Heavy handed I,
Released to the thoughts of the seen.

Pneumatic in-tension,
A flexible mention.
Meaningless,
Emphatic, and
Green.
