A SWEET SONG SHE SANG, AND OTHER POEMS, SEPTEMBER 5, 2024
a sweet song she sang
as my lips paid her homage
and filled her with words
-----
tongue darting dancing
my pen writing words inside
as she turns pages
-----
come to be amused
point at the poet and laugh
in his cap of bells
-----
why must i feel love
when love just brings betrayal
more layers of pain
-----
my eyes upon her
beauty in light and shadow
willing her to smile
-----
oh how you touch me
just by letting me see you
love you for a while
-----
you're stripped of the past
words pouring down your body
fitting poetry
-----
his words frighten her
the way she appears in them
all her truths exposed
-----
bares herself freely
nudity she understands
but expose her mind...
-----
she can't help but bend
to the pressure of his gaze
power of his need
-----
riding endless waves
cries out at the crest of each
she waits his next words
-----
rips secrets open
exposing truths long hidden
offers them to him
-----
lovers don't matter
past or now or tomorrow's
you are what matters
-----
to know you read me
that your mind approves of mine
smile because you do
-----
my words first mere echoes
become real as you repeat
celebrate them
-----
she is so fragile
delicate within my hands
molded to poems
