Love...clarity pyramid
LOVE
Once found
Can’t be lost
I love you wholly
Without reservations
Even after tides have turned
“I will never want another”

Fours...Clarity Pyramid
Nonsense
I write to you in nonsense
So that you know I am still alive
And I can feel connected to
The past love that lives
Here in my present
But only in your memory
I write to you in nonsense
The words can seem silly
To the unmastered ears
Not attuned to the keen of longing
Decibled higher than a
Light flashing, wailing ambulance
I write to you in nonsense
Words, please mine
That is my only currency
To gift to you from my soul
Heart pleas touches only you
Can begin to understand

Undiscovered
Fine, whispy coats
Of sheer veneer
The shadow of your hand
Plays under several
Half way to my mask
Halfway to my heart
Each position in which I lay
Aches for someone to hold
The hopelessness of desire
Blends with an unrelieved
Taste of loss now on
My every breath
Tears preempt a cold
Consciousness
Preventing my escape
From loneliness
A great change
Has occurred here
I no longer have to convince
The manifested spirits
Who wander in and out
Of my waking days
Whispering in quick claim
Of the fear I have
In riding the electric storm
That may not produce
A sunrise
My song has been pulled
Under black waves
And I can’t breathe
Trapped forever beyond
What I want and need
And what I have been allowed
I would like to think
That the sun
Brings consolation
Even when I am found
Sitting in the rays
Arms wrapped my middle
Trying to hold the pain in
The blisters on my hand
Turn into staining wounds
I continue to ponder
All the theological questions
Of the why and the why
Each luminosity at twilight
Spreads only darkness
Into the coming sunset
I need for the anguish
To be captured in
Pewter common cups
Making the wafers
Easier to swallow

(can't sleep)
He awaits me
In corners and blind alleys
Full tilt neon boogie
In get back blues
I speak
His name loudly
Damn near scream his name
In a delta rhythm
Heel clicking on sidewalks
Broken glass sparks
Moist and hot
In a basin of water
His power over me
Strong and relentless
So I run faster, wider
My hips sway stactically
Pearls on the river
And blood in my veins
Ridiculously
Drawn towards his light
As if I didn’t know better
I confessed
To my preacher
I just knew
A longing like this
Had to be a sin
He only agreed
And wiped electric
Off his chin
In that tired knowing
Of one that has
Been full before
Has been sated
At the table
No blessing for me
Just a pat on the hand
Even he was afraid
Of a new embrace
That could start
Him to moving
Into the void, again
Still I speak
Him into being
Ordered and
Disordering my words
Staining my radiance
In a swirling mist
Allowing the water
To cover me
To fill the spaces
He left open
Cleansing vowels
My reflection
Breaking shadows
Into more shade
I’m ready
To cross over
Spitting the flavor
Onto the pavement
Rebukement
Of the taste
On the tip
Of my tongue
My flesh is weathered
And bears the mark
Of his days
Across my belly
Around my hip
I span the length
With fingers spread
Until prints
Coil together in
A nest of promises
Unfulfilled sacredness
Trembling at the edge
Of a passerby’s irises
Sightless again
And I just want
The scent of him
In my mouth
To quench this thirst
This knowing
This lightening
Scorching my breast
The dawn is near
Though I know
I won’t sleep again
Closing my door
On the life outside
And drinking tea
In a broken cup
I am ashamed
At susceptibility
Of words spoken
In whispers
Wrapped in linens
And perched on windowsills
Holding the pain
Behind my smiles
He comes to me
In lonely thoughts
But I know hear
For I no longer
Believe
In love
