passion alights my veins...like wildfire
eager to ignite the night with every glance
aching for delivery, i tremble with desire
each breath a scandal...a silent caper
in the quiet, our bodies speak in magnitudes
words unspoken but known in every touch
tranquil, the vessel for our love's blooms
where every pause is a promise, a clutch

Love me even if life tries to steal me away from you. Love me in this silence and in the distance that are none of our doing but which we suffer all the same. Love me for my heart only beats your name. Love me without ever harboring doubt in your heart. I am yours from the marrow up and my one true desire is to be in your arms. Love me while you wait. Love me without words and with every breath. Love me till we can be together again.
e.v.e. (Letters to my love)

whispering
The white butterflies, those
Heart-shaped sweets
And my daughter - the one my body
betrayed - her precious hands
The moment's creatures, all
Strands in my braid
I do remember dreams
My hair does sometimes
Cover my face, and yet
Space can only follow time
One way, not another
So who am I to
Keep looking behind

Let's fall in love
and live our days
as if they were our last
and as we grow old together
and until the end of life
be assured that to betrayal
I will remain like water to oil
for loyalty is to my nature
as a wolf is to its flock

And You taught me
that maybe, I shouldn't be shaping myself
to the expectations of others,
just for a morsel of love
And you?
You taught me that no one could ever
really react to what makes up who I am --
we are all just guessing
at the shape and place of all the edges
of each other's souls --
And she taught me
that the ones that accuse you
tend to perpetrate the very things
they worry you do --
And the last one, You?
Taught me that I can't trust the words
"I love you,"
because even when you mean it,
believe it with your whole heart,
you can be wrong --
and eventually, when you realize,
I'll only be left alone again.
Why do lovers have to be lessons?

empathy in c minor
pleading can you hear
i'm
in the wrong bath, i stare off like a soliloquy
pacing hallways and kitchens
i have a voice, somewhere i know
but i lost it in the mirror
the Most Capable of sharing songs and art
(nothing more)
how do i say to you i'm unwell, sick
like a natural spring, without
folding my arms, leaning back
crossing legs, measuring wingspans
how do I say say say
King Night is here, asking me to be a person
when it matters less
How do I function? Buy groceries?
Talk on the phone?
how do i live in my Name? with it,
bastard thing conjoined to my hip
radiation and coat racks labelled poetry
I'm breathing a spark of fire that never lights
and I am to the rain a dancer interrupting her landing

Poem To A Friend
There's something astoundingly tender
in how you deny your own softness, it's
okay, I get it; there are holes in the sky
again, it's another lab-grown season,
hard to love but twice as necessary to
do so, in light shows and total ambient
darkness. You're worth keeping. I'm
hitting everything in the house, just
trying to make it out alive. I know how
this sounds; it isn't your problem; you
are careful, patient, quiet, and lovely.

Sorcerer
who says there is
no magic in the world
the first frost glistens like
delicate spray paint
shining in the morning sun
leaves crunch beneath
my feet like crackers
bird song still
heralds a new day
not everyone gets
to go south
for the winter
I stop along the trail
and take it all in
the quiet whispers of life
the elegant beauty
of the season
the joy of truly being alive
all I had to do was let go
of that incessant need
to keep moving forward
and just be in the moment

if you are not willing to stretch your heart
to fit the things about her that normally would not fit
then you know nothing of love, of what is real
do not be afraid to stretch and expand your love
your heart has a magic to it, allowing it to envelop
it can except all the good and the bad of her
real love is comprised of both…

I love waking and feeling you in my soul like a river that flows through my being, leaving love everywhere on my shore. You are the smile of my dawn and the prayer of my stars. The bubbling joy of your presence, the oxygen that fills my heart. I feel your life in the flow of mine, and as my heart embraces you, my thoughts kiss you, and my soul blossoms, I murmur a prayer that I may always be held in your arms.

May it taste like wild honey suckles
And feel as soft as petunia petals
This life that you are living.
I wish you light and laughter so real
That your smile reaches your ears
Let the years be kind to you
My Darling.

Throat, heart, brain
Make no mistake - those
Baby teeth of his
They never stood a chance
Against the porcelain of yours
Can you guess how a dream is born?
I will bring you some flowers
Of my happiest summer
The dewy dawn and her treasure
Lights like eyes
-
Sculpt yourself anew
Leave doubts in hell

I no longer want anything,
not your hand to hold,
because its warmth will not
vanish my cold on the distant horizon,
nor your embrace, because its peace
will not cure my ill sleepless nights,
and nor your smile for my happiness
index will not rise to its fullest extent.
so all I want to do is wander into
the depths of my depression,
for love will not color my insides white.
