Ever been on?
Really on
turned on
top of form
ready to go
can't do anything wrong?
I was, on March 23rd.
Ever met a girl?
a real girl
not a dolled up baby doll
not a walking supposed to be
one with substance
one you can sink your teeth into.
That looks great in underpants.
Smile like a marching band.
Voice like your own voice.
Reassuring like the Ocean
Eyes like the sky,
I did.
Ever kiss a stranger?
Not an everyday kiss
a kiss that envelops
a kiss that explodes
smooth like quicksand
hot like fire
long like summer days
soft like silk sheets
at night.
An eaten alive kiss.
A crucifixion kiss.
A boaconstrictor kiss.
A kiss where angels and demons
collide.
It happened to me.
Ever been in love?
Not puppy love
not a schoolboy crush
not a 'I want you bad'
or a 'I love you, you don't love me'
or a 'here I come to save the day'
or a 'I need you to make it right'
Just an honest outright
straight in the eyes
from the gut
I've found my equal
adore you forever
soulmate, be my wife
make me laugh and cry
everything everything love.
I've found her now.
Ever write poems
about your lover,
trying to get it all down?
I do
sometimes
and this
was one of them.
