Love’s Trance

There is a wind that blew by me today showing me who I was and who I am. Resting only on the shoulders of yesterday but walking with today’s beauty. If I were to dance with the devil and I have, would you find me leaving the love I long to honor.  One moment I can add to my shoulders weight while my spine buckles and bends, soon breaking with the lack of structure. I waltz with this unknown. Embracing only a trance of inductions. All chemically enhanced by lust. Riches only exist in trust. How can I? We can’t dance with the devil and not be steeped in excrement pouring forth from the center of our insides. I run just one step in front of the wind, wondering if it will ever catch me.

I’m walking through night’s energy

Calm sweet repose begins and ends

Completeness as I breathe

It has been too long

What holds me back

My touches forbid forward motion

Imagination is not enough

Trees that touch the sky

I open my eyes to you.

Each step walks with weight

Your shoulders sag

Like tree branches 

Weighted with snow bending to touch my hand.

These are worlds I do not know

Touches I’ve never had

Dancing in the Night

There is quietness coming over me

As if blanked with a newly fallen snow

Earth frozen, storms as winds shelter

The warmth of home still the chill

The air needs fire and spark

Wisdom found in a dance

Alive in the retreating

My mind wanders

Marveling found in tranquility

Repose exchanged for passion

Still stopping so I can sleep

Incredulous and alive

The touch of a hand

Power grasps and slides

From ribs to hip

Slowly gripping

Hips awaken

Arms rest 

Shoulders beckon 

One sweet kiss

On a bearded cheek

Lips brushed and bruised

Nothing more, nothing less

This is what we had.
