You and me
old enough to sit
—silently
and listen to a lifelong
happiness

My words of love
fall gently
like autumn leaves
—their fate is written
on the sidewalk

Destined
—not to be loved

as I feel I need
as I deserve
as my sentimental verve
tells me I should
as I want
as my wanton
heart craves
as a memorable romance
as an everlasting dance
a roaring tide, a flood


(resist if you dare,
it's my mood)


Now —no more waves
in this still sea —silent

only a blackened
lover's soul —sunken
(I should have run faster)

the aftermath
of a permanent
love disaster

Where's the sense
in waiting?

(skinny hours
better consumed
feeding my chances)

—I only sense
my fears your coldness
mine and yours
terminal romances

Love your duplicity

(your unfolded closeness
makes me react
with uncertainty)

—you are my pain and my delight
(a delayed action)

—you are my cold passion
(a kind subtlety)

—you are my nice thorn
(a future unborn)

—you are the venture I fear
(a welcomed intensity)

You are Life, oh beloved,
in its purest form

I'm spinning around
you, my gravity
the stellar certainty
of my casual orbit

My magnetic love
—don't let me fall
into the unnumbered deepness
of this darkness

"Hold on..."

(don't let me fall
from your pleasurable voice
for that long)

...love me on
