I, desperately.

I, desperately avoiding. . .
almost singed
by the closeness, once at hand,
of loves' heat, now turned
shimmering delight. . .
for the sum of a mere man.
the bellows seem so comforting
as they affront, ignite
loves' trivial assumption
cast upon lusts' appetite.
as sparks float upward & fetter off
amassing. . . twinkling
in the sky,
a reoccurring seclusion
of seductions' paradise.
masked & then unveiled
as something kin to vice.
the thinnest tracing of a tear. . .
the ascention of our grace,
the recoiling of our fear.
a profound provocation
of a lullaby, hushed, now laced. . .
a sound rising in some distance
with resurgence of our longing,
a soft & timid reminding of a day
when nothing could challenge
the tenderness,
the stark beauty of your face.
I cradle up this knowledge,
& struggle only
to kneel to our desire.
the fierce heat of my wanting
consuming us like fire.
not the heat of the bare moment
but the warmth of our intent
with angels' sweet, attending,
a lifetimes' love is spent.
I, desperately surrender. . .
I am surrendering
even now
to this fragile moments' task,
the humbling of the fiercest hearts.
to give up our secrets,
we must be exacting. . . discover where they start.
to take it off, this tragic mask,
to what lies just beneath.
behold truth is an offering.
can you grasp it, hold it close?
can you feel the gentleness,
it offers
as all the outcomes come & go?
a new dawn breaks, awaits
so I constitute, with will,
a gypsy relevance &
a kaleidoscope
funneling,
design meant to attempt.
relinguishing escape. . . barely able. . .
barely bent. . .
barely knowing. . .
if I'm safe
or suffocating
from the loss of innocence.
confronted by
loves' primal misconception,
the pit of needing to possess.
the dark & cloudy resemblance
of complacencies' deepest depth. . .
I falter as an offering
as each breath, I do concede.
my freedom, it is burning
all the bridges. . .
to my needs.
