Sonnet 1 14.7.11
I lie with you in grass and pink clover
Fearful of the arms you bear against me
And creeping clouds that pass the sun over
Darkening the shivering golden sea
I'll attempt to be what I think you want
Watching each movement with my wanting eyes
Betrayed by my motions so aberrant
And the base, lustful moans within my sighs
I await the usual wave of hatred
As your hands draw my body closer still
Yet find the horror has been abated
I am content to give in to your will
I can feel the body beneath me shake
This new found yearning an agonised ache.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Something Beautiful
Closing my eyes is not enough anymore
It shuts out the worlds mediocre distractions
But does nothing for my other senses
You scent indescribable, even now
I can feel it fading from my memory
And yet it has only been five days
My fingertips clutch at the air, missing you
Wanting to be lost in the curls at your neck
Or trace the valley above your hip bone
Your taste when we kiss, lingers for hours after
But I can not remember it in this moment
And yet it has only been five days
All sounds are empty and lacking to my ears now
For they have been spoiled by your wonderful voice
Small things are the most painful in their absence
A single look, a smile, finishing off my thoughts
Making me feel more beautiful than I’ve ever felt
And yet it has only been five days
-------------------------------------------------
Bliss
A ridiculous smile dances on lips
And I have no desire to remove it
My mouth committing Freudian slips
But you’re too polite to say it
Your tangled disarray of wild hair
The thousand shades, changing almost weekly
A nonchalant fashion like you don’t care
A humility spoken meekly
My southern gentleman, chivalrous way
The Texan drawl that makes my knees weak
My reason to smile every day
You have all the traits I could ever seek.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Rath (Not Wrath)
Plagued by your blissful countenance
All things considered, could be worse
You encouraged my reluctance
Said it was part of being yours
When I blink, you’re always there
Eyes shining like ancient Jade
Southern charm and fashionable flair
I knew I’d never make the grade
But when I blink, you’re all mine
In my dreams and fantasies
And maybe when you’ve got the time
You’ll make an honest girl of me
