VERSE: Wanderer, From In Between

My dialated pupils say

Bliss and to

Whisper sweet nothings

For nothingness begets itself in me

And we rise as one

floating on my feet

but everythings seems as though

It is from a dream

My vision is blinded

Yet I can see

Yet I can see and I scream in realization

Awaken, conscious with what erupted under

While I was under a spell

Bliss is wearing off

Wearing away my matter

As a stream of thoughts

Collide and I wonder

Am a wanderer

I’m rising to the surface

Blacked out and came back again

The haze became so great

So great I neared the point

where real and reality

Became two different things

To bear

VERSE – Our Next Arrival

When you

At a distance

Long before your next arrival in my life
Awaiting to hear the voice that renders me

Vulnerable at that very moment, open heart and woes bare

Disintegrate

I hear…

“I love you” uttered in between kisses that open doors

I make mention of “more” and the appetite escalates

To unusual octaves and tones

The hard rain against the window pane

Makes melodies drumming

As fingers keep thumbing the small of my back

Rather be here, right now than anywhere

Stare as you glance and moan with each pairing

Daring, secreting away last kisses and caresses

Hoping its not our last one

And when departing still reaching out for bliss
