SUGAR (A POEM)

I used to write poetry. When  I was in 18 it was all I desired to write. I had volumes and volumes of poetry written. Hurricane Katrina took them away and I have not written any poetry since.  The other day the bug to write this hit me. It flowed out out of me naturally and at the very least it is a raw and as true to myself as I can be as a writer.  Feel free to tear it apart.





Sugar

I stand lost
yet 
found in the thought,
Your breath on my breath
Your thigh on my thigh


We meet descending 
 you
 showing me where .
Me 
realizing that beauty does exist

My desire
to caress, 
to care for, 
to breath, to live
All rest in your beating heart

years,
a kept secret.
life needed to be lived.
Timing, Timing Will it ever be right

Awhile

My arms wrapped around 
falsehood , one
after abother

I was alone
Betraying myself
Betraying you
Thinking of you.

I can't
I won't
live this way
trapped in an ever evolving dream

I adore you
no matter who you are
I want you

like breath
