Fallen
If I had fallen for you then
You’d had taken me into your world like a prize you had won,
And carelessly in love I would have followed you,
Only eyes for you,
followed you all the way.
Hand in hand, all the way through sunlit lanes,
past beautiful trees and shining rivers,
down to the depths, deep into the forest
Where everything is soothing and dark,
no light that blinds you,
no sound to hurt your ears
Truly beautiful,
green moss, elegant farns,
no step is heard.
Light of day seldomly breaks through here.
Massive trees,
a dome of ever changing greens
far above, beyond my sight.
I loose myself trying to count
All the leaves. All yours.
Taking in light and air through
your eyes, your smiles.
Your touches, your kisses.
Then sinking back again into this world of ever changing greens.
Still counting the leaves above, my head is being twisted backwards
I must have missed how you dropped my hand, but you must have!
For after a while I realize I am alone now.
Deep in your forest. Where have you gone?
The wind’s turning cold,
night has come.
I have been standing here so long looking up,
my arms are stretched out to the skies,
desperately almost I notice now,
I have become part of a tree,
a beautiful tree, but still,
so still!
My feet part of the roots,
my body grown into the trunk,
my arms turned into branches, reaching out.
For you. For air. For light. For you.
And I notice the other trees around me are women as well
We are your forest:
Your mother,
your sister,
your daughters,
your wife,
all women that ever were yours
and me.
Honey
Your words are sweet and sensual,
honey, they drip from the tip of your tongue right into me.
And I feel them blooming out of my pores
with a tingling.
I feel them on my skin
like a scent, gently wrapping me up.
Lying there for me to touch.
I reach out and kiss you in my dream.
If You Were Here
If you were here
You’d probably be standing right there.
But if you were there
Would I be standing here, too?
And if I was here and you, too,
what would you say?
Hey, here you are?!
And then me: hey, here I am.
And then what?
And then what?
Would I stay?
Shortly?
Thinking about who we used to be?
Or would I leave?
With you?
To find out who we are now?
It’s What We Do
I love
You lust
He opens
She closes
It shares
We take
You repose
They distrust
I abuse
You enjoy
He softens
She hardens
It resists
We surrender
You diminish
They strengthen
I long
You repulse
He dazzles
She soothes
It repeats
We amaze
You grieve
They comfort
I silence
You arouse
He rages
She pacifies
It doubts
We secure
You fear
They hope
Let’s Go Slow
Let’s go slow,
Let’s not move too fast.
Now our goal’s in sight
Make this moment last.
Let’s not say a word,
And simply lock eyes.
Indulge in love
Being nigh.
That moment just
Before we touch
What we desire
It cannot be enjoyed enough!
So, let’s take our time,
You and I, here alone,
Let’s go slow.
