Petals

Use your tongue and spin enthrallation
to my eager heart that at once
does Not,
but – does hear.

Whisper grandiose gestures of love
grand sweeping actions of admiration
that do, 
but – do Not happen.

Stare into my eyes and summon
all emotion you wish me to see
our souls – you say
are  (are Not) 
connected forever.

Tell me how you burn in my presence
(kissing my neck)
and yearn in my absence.

Confide your inner most fears
with actors precision
and solitary conviction
that may,
or –may Not be true.

Express the wonder of a deep complex love,
Emotion that you cannot contain or restrain,
Experience you will live to remember,
which is true
but does not matter

You love yourself far more than I
which is true
and all that matters.


 
**(please note that I know enthrallation is not a word but I’ve decided I like and I’m keeping it, I feel its definition to be quite natural and self-explanatory)
