Ode to the love that is not

She toils in the ocean of my love.

And yet, she knows not.

The stars proclaim our love.

And yet, she cares not.

The past speaks synchronicity to our hearts.

And yet, she listens not.

Our future boils with possibility.

And yet, she dares not.

Our hearts are wed.

And yet, she consummates not.

She has become the love of my life, my soul mate.

And yet, she is not.

My heart cries for what is not.

My soul languishes for what is not.

My body yearns for what is not.

What is, is what is not.

 

Moon-Wet Dreams

My heart leaps with all deer

Upward towards your spirit star

The world bathed in lunar night

Afire with ancient light

This love that cries divine

That first writes “beyond”

Such grace my fawn

Enchanted glide o’er all that’s earth

We dance together

Two deer in love

Enchanted thrusts in moon-wet vulva

My emerald soul rests quietly

In you’re glimmering diamond spirit

Your diamond star

My emerald earth

We two deer flying between

In our dreams…

 

Charmaine 2

Was it last February?

I think it was.

A year of moments

In the fullness of her absence.

 

She pinned me against the wall

In that parking garage

And kissed me as if the next moment she would die.

I watched as she drove the wrong way out of the garage

And in that mystic fog, drove out of my life.

 

And, yet a year later

I walked down those stairs that lead to our kiss

Behind a shadow that moves from the fog

At the foot of the stairs

I call out, “Hey Charmaine”

She freezes for a moment of eternity

Finally, she turns and devours my sight

She compliments my long hair

I tell her “thanks”

And once again we are enveloped by that mystic fog

 

I cry once again in the face of the stars that night

I thought I was over her, I wanted to think I was

But once again the silence of the universe

Reminds me that I have no other choice but to love her

And once again I curse her celestial beauty

That gave me a love that can’t be

Except in a mystical fog.
