POETRY: TASTE YOU UPON MY LIPS

Longing for the clash of traits,
To be under my control.
Under my power.

I long to change your selfishness,
While I relish your surplus of benefactors.
I long to open my heart,
Without worry of any oppressors of love.
Without the threat of losing my trust.
My faith.

My faith in the most powerful force there is.
That force?s false identity is love.
Love is a false identity,
Because love is a word for happiness.
A word for joy.
A word for peace.

While love can bring these ephemeral feelings,
It more often brings hurt, hate and jealousy.
I long for a love,
Where I am safe from hurt, hate and jealousy.
A love like yours.

A love I long for here in my bed,
Every night.
These dragged on twenty-four hours a day,
Seem more like twenty-four years.

How many more
Long, tedious and torturous hours
Must I wait,
Longing for your embrace?
Your sweet embrace.

How many more
Tears shall I spill,
Longing for your tender lips
To press against mine?

How much more
Must my heart bleed,
Longing for you?

Her lips touch mine only as a hopeful memory
Unrealized moments, long forgotten
A hint of sensual awareness playing in the neural net.

Tides of reckless recollection gambol about
As I, in my folly, remain as but an archetype on the wheel of love
A lover caught in the paradigm of romance
Spinning upon the carousel of life.

She comes to me daily, a wraith in my thoughts
Her beauty amplified by the Goddess,
Her song, a melody of her mystery.
O Daughter of Gaia, encircle me with your femininity
Even as you enchant me with your vibrancy.

She arrived in my world with a question,
Inquisitive and curious
A fragrant blossom taking root in the parklands of my being
Greeting my consciousness with her goodness.

Truly a daughter of  angelic origin,
She inhabits that region within
Where the spark that is love gets ignited
And once lit remains
As a beacon, a reminder, a guide
An illumination of the capability of the spirit.

I sense her certitude as she questions what is
Her competence matched by her beauty.
Partake of the reservoir of the Goddess within
Know that you are loved even as you embody love.
For you are a gift
Presented to those in your sphere as a reminder
Of the sanctity of a woman.

A memory of hope traverses my anima
And passes through me with a sigh
For I remember.

My love,
Oh, how I love thee,
No words can describe my love for you,
No song can be as beautiful as our love for each other,
I would sail across oceans to see you,
I would fly across the world to kiss you,
I would walk over lands to be with you forever,
My Love!

Star-Cross'd-Lovers

Star-Cross'd-Lovers                  
I was born to love you;
You were born to love me.
We must have loved each other in heaven,
For destiny chose us to be... Star-Cross'd-Lovers

How come every time I close my eyes
  you're all I see
Why is is that when I'm not around you 
  you're all I think about
I don't understand why when I take a shower
  I still only smell you
Am I supposed to always 
  taste you upon my lips
Why do I dream about you holding me in your arms
  before I even touch you
When someone whispers I can't help but
  stop and hope to hear your sweet voice again

If it's just me well I guess I will have to live with it 
but I am beginning to think my senses 
are leaning towards you...
