I walk forward and speak

Words come out oblique

Volcaburic insecurity

Words from obscurity.

Words from another plane

Somewhat arcane.

That be said, not vain

Although a bit insane.

But wait, let me explain

I tried to refrain and restrain

Just needed to ascertain

Climbing your mountains with my tongue

Twirling around your peaks

Trekking down to your valley with my lips

To keep from falling, I grip your hips.

Reaching your summit as my lips plummet

Tasting your waterfalls as your voice breaks

Exploring your sensual landscapes.

When I see you

I feel a sense of fire

Within me

I feel higher

I close my eyes

Let's feed the desire

I lead with my heart not

thinking that it’s too much.

Write what I feel, emote

Unapologetically as such.

Some may think that this

Is some sort of crutch.

Write in the moment

Don’t hold back

Here I am, take me as I am

Never hold back

My heart skips a beat

As you come into my peripheral

Close my eyes for a moment

Your beauty triggers something visceral

Lights flicker from the intensity

Of your incandescent glow

The fire within me combined with yours

We’re going to explode.

Am I more than

These words?

What comes to

Mind first?

A desperate man

With a thirst.

Need to release

Before seams burst.

Is it a curse?

Or obverse?

Flip side to the coin

Emotions I can’t avoid.

In a void but devoid

Attempts to poise

And rejoice

Ends in noise

I sit on a lonely road

But don’t take me home

For there’s too many

Memories I can’t hold

I move forward today

To try to let things go.

Trying to climb up

And out from this hole.

Shivering

Quivering

Body withering

You’re snickering

I’m considering

Light flickering

Now reconsidering

Re positioning

No longer listening

No one’s listening

Words and images

Unsure what touches

No telling what blushes

When discussions.

Cause necessary repercussions

What crutches?

Sensory censoring

Who’s the one doing the

Measuring?

When something’s not

Worth censuring.

Words, words, words

Do they become verbs?

Stillness disturbed

When action occurs.

Backward, forward, then re-turns.

No lesson or no exercise

I’ve never learned mine

Letters exit my mind

Leave my “Friendly Confines”,

“Cubbies”

Took the keys

Felt the breeze

Release

With ease

Appease?

Please.
