Poem Title:
Poem
I heard the clanging of the gate As wonder and fear began to reverberate The more you opened up, I ran in Neither of us concerned for where we had been I had never played without terror You had never experienced relationship without error I washed myself in the color of your desire You warmed your icy heart by my constant fire I loved the endless nights of laughter Conversations of understanding about what our hearts were after The light shone with brilliant blue and radiant red I hearkened and hung on every word you said .....creek..........crack.....crap Time rose up and cracked her whip She raged and roared with, "What is THIS!?!" I jumped up and ran, I ran faster than wind She yelled, "You whore...he's mine, you will NEVER have him!" My heart longed for that place OH, just to be in your space, touch your hand....your face But I kept my distance so that time could make me forget About love and what it felt like when you lit ......my wet wood, that no one else could .........get near .........................touch Time heals NOTHING! I saw you after a long span of dreary years I longed, still, in deep sorrow and invisible tears You seemed happy to those who wanted to believe But I saw your naked soul, and vowed to never leave ....the hearth of your heart You may be married to a companion for life She may even look like a loyal, obedient wife But she knows you saw eternity in my eyes That I saw your truth behind the convenient lies Every man's heart, if mauled by a she bear Is hidden behind briers, thorns, and tares To prevent black widow spiders from feasting on flesh Without pause or time to rest .....til she wins What!?! No matter what matter lies between us You are safety and rest, my forever home You broke all of my defenses To give me the ring of promise, I will never again, be alone.
