“the difference between Art and Life is that Art is more bearable” – Charles Bukowski
I want to keep all the seconds
minutes, hours to myself.
I want to revel
in the magic
of two glistening bodies.
I made a list of things
and created poetry
from chandeliers
and hotel lobbies.
Pinot noir and club sandwiches
with no tomatoes
who would believe
the poem?
My notes of you?
skin and sin, you said,
two peas in an ipod, I said.
I’m not afraid to eat
or to love your body.
I can caress too
I can feel your insides out
and your pain.
I could be a Real person
no frills
orchids on my skin.
Set alarm to sundown
and kiss some of your freckles
hello and goodbye.
Mohawk on your head
cause you’re the warrior
I’m too busy taking pictures
of chandeliers
being cozy in your arms
in my jeans.
I wonder if all the having
covered all the wanting.
I wonder what you were thinking
when I said
what was on my mind.
I am who I am.
I say the worst and the best
all in the same line.
You probably liked me still
do with me what you will
make my body sore
I will never complain.
Turn me anyway you desire
I like what clearly
makes you
want me like a teenager.
But I know how to lose people
by not knowing how to hold
on to them.
I’m always saying the wrong things
or staring at your lips
I’m banging my head
my heart
my body
my soul
my mind
up against your squeezed up chest
I can’t breathe
but I like it
being under you.
Sometimes you follow your heart
destroy your logic
in the walk
to the elevator.
I water my soul
with your kisses.
I’m fine.
Don’t know how to behave.
So excuse me
for this poem
that I’ve been meaning
to not write.
I always feel it’s
never good enough
for you.
Water the soul with kisses is just amazing
