All to Myself

I want you close
But it’s selfish to keep you
All to myself
I am guilty
Of loving you so much,
Fearing I will lose you,
Or that I’m being tricked
Into the antithesis
Of everything you are
Please forgive me
For my doubt, fear
A need to verify that
What I am worshipping
Does not wish to see ill
To you
And all the wonderous things
You’ve made

Homeostasis

I want to
climb you
–a tree,

Feel
your branches
Sprouted,
Under me,

Feel
the pulse
of nature,
Inhale the scent
Of your animal skin,

Feel
the texture
of your organic shape,

Sense
the shifts
in your equilibrium,

As you are shaped
And shifted,
To reach
Homeostasis;

In symbiosis,
With me

Writing Her Way

They are in timeless songs
And she wonders
how many
Share
this same ballad
To love so fiercely
Defying time
And space

And others will lay false trails
To pick up
Where time
And fragility of the mind
Cut short
And she holds out
As she tries once more
To catch even a glimpse,
She writes her way
To him
