Don’t bitch, don’t moan, use time take it slow
What love begets and fate regrets
Haunts until your mind is set.
Us is lust but lust is a dream.
Deferred? See, it depends…
Hear what you will will be what it seems
Not to the viewer or the thinker’s keen;
Only the experiencer has the potential
To drive themselves cliffside over one word or gesture.
Strike at the world, deny love and vanity
Turn around and beg for another shot of insanity.
Shooting down droughts of their skin and heat
Clinging at arms length to know the want when eyes meet.
Looking away when the moment’s past,
Now hiding your eyes to avoid a distant glance
But all you think about is loving again…
Physical be damned, give me you.
And promise… no, just say…
When all is said and done, when you’re done,
You won’t leave me in the rain.
