"caris" poems
Hopscotch
Sasquatch
Let me see
Let me smell
Walk,
Run,
Fly through my pain
Who cared once
I am but none
Dizzy, as the world
Shaking, as our edifice
Let me hold, Caris, on fiery arms
By nothing I’d swear
If by the love I feel
Like electricity
A shock to life, and my engines are quiet
I’ve burnt my fuel
Rather, it’s been burned by others
I gather wood before
Only a few musty branches
But you, I find
Deep in the dark night of the woods
By a huge, dry oak
“Would you like some?”
I can’t tell
If you can’t chop it on your own
Or you want to share it with me
But I could use an oaken heart
To burn together
To make a fire of wonders
To warm up the night
To cuddle, rest our lips together
Where does the road
In the forest go
How many fires will we light
How many nights will we lay together
Maybe the forest will be
A kind home with you
Or maybe we’ll exit
And find a riviera of gold
Wherever we are
Wherever we go
I’m glad to share the fire
I’m glad to share our selves
There is music, coming from afar
Can you hear it?
