Todays Poem 6/24/10

Are We There Yet?

Is this the reality of our intent
and are these days the impressions of fulfillment

we mature into the seclusion of age
upon travel to individuality
we explore the world in discovery of ourselves
and embarks of family

but I hadn't realized the expansion incurred
until I turned in your direction
I didn't anticipate the loneliness earned
until noticing your facial expression

there stairwells in your eyes towards far off dimensions
and the present is a universe away from all my recollection

the distance we've grown is chasmic
as we just further from habit

Maybe the walls comfort you
as I ache for embrace
Maybe I'm the only one who made mistakes

The secrets are more trustworthy
than open communication
We exchanged our delicate vulnerability for the quality of isolation

I'll miss the little intimacies we drew
as we journey these reaches we call adulthood

Todays Poem 6/23/10

"Something Lovely"

Reflections of nature bloom in your complexion
and tempt the caress of digits across each breath of your flesh

Darling
my home is perched upon realms of your extent

mere touch is conquest

I explore the ancestry of your element
the definition in your movements
and the manner of your difference

I'm pensively in await
of lullabies you narrate
upon the pendulum of your hips
on incantations cast by your lips

Dear exquisite

I know the rarest raptures aren't meant for permanence
my gift will be recollections of this moment

within vacations into my memories
where something lovely
accompanies
