P.S. I Love You, Still

I fell into your world, my love;
And here, I shall remain, in heart,

Even if I am away,
Even if I must away,
Even if I am to be in a Wonderland of my own making…

I fell here, first, my love;
And here, I shall remain, in part,

As I have for years,
As I have for weeks,
As I shall, again, until I find the mirror-gate to you…

There is a Hatter who makes tea for two,

Who protects his M with kindness,
Who tempts Alice with long-coated horses,
Whose silver steed drives like the wildest things.

There is a girl whose land is elsewhere,
Yet finds life in Wonderland rings

With yet too-familiar courses
Of behavior with him all-too true…
And yet, we pine in distance;

And yet, you are right here;
By some grace of our natures’ providence
We touch what we hold so dear…

And you are in my heart, my love;
And here, you’ll always stay,

No matter time may come or go;
No matter how many worlds away…

For we have already broken rules
Upon us set by else-worlds’ minds,
Still: As precious as Majesty’s jewels,
Each other’s hearts, we find.

Stay with me. Love me. Be with me.
We shall never fear nor be torn apart;
For we are as Titans, as magical as gods
With all we’ve ever seen.

Being with Nick Mulvey

I don’t want to talk, any more, of pain.

I don’t want to remember all of the hurt
I’ve caused others,
Others have caused me.

I don’t want to talk any more of fear;
I don’t want to talk of being unafraid.

I want to love,
To live,
To be.

Let me be;
Love me if you will;
Live with me, if you can…
If you dare.

I won’t judge you, anyway.

I just want to be,
To be,
To be free.

Let me be…
And be free with me

If you will
If you wish
If you may
If you can

Let it be…

It’s time for the past to die.

We let everything die…
Let everyone die…
Let this die.

Let love die.

Let, this time, the past free
To be
To die

Let me free;
And die this moment
Every moment
To foreverness
Until foreverness
Has no meaning...

Until we are all free.

Narcissus’ Redemption

If you knew how I live,
Would you ever go away?
Would you ever want a moment alone,
Or would you want to bask in me?

If you knew how I see you,
Would you care to look away?
Would you fall in love, as I do,
With every thought, word, action in you?

Are you afraid to be Narcissus,
Afraid to lose your false humility,
Afraid to gaze in the glaze of waters
Afraid to be who you were born to be?

Are you afraid to be so close to me
Because you’re afraid to be so close to you?
Afraid to admit the girl you love
Because she is so nearly you?

Give me a moment with your mind.
Give me a moment in your heart.
Give me your hand, your lips, your you;
Let me put everything in view.

Rivers of Passion

Yes, I do have a mind – 
but I have a body, too
and I deserve to be touched
to be worshipped
to be admired
to be adored
as any cloud
as any storm
as any flower
as any fruit:

I deserve to have my hand plucked from my side, where it rests
like a flower, casually plucked from the ground
and kissed, the tender flesh of my hand as gentle
as any flower’s silken petals that may brush your nose

I deserve to have a river’s run of caresses up the length of my arm
my taut muscles like a riverbed of polished rocks
yearn for the fluid motions of your heart in action
for the flickering motion of lips like fishes swimming in a stream

I deserve a steady trickle of fingers slipping up my thighs
my body a heaving river fed by your ever-increasing streams
spilling helplessly over and over again 

Shadows Dancing in the Dream

Your shadows still exist here.
I used to cry, used to be tormented
by the memory of your, by the ghost of you…

But now I laugh, twinkle my eyes at your shadows,
smile at your friends who are now becoming mine,
who now love me openly as you do in your dark places.

I’m tickled by the thought of you knowing,
finding that I live happily ever after, still,
beyond the dream of you, living still in the dream of me.

You’re still you, and I’m still me;
and happily-ever-after we shall be:
you, in your world and I in mine,
forever, regardless, intertwined.

Absence

I do not know why you must be away,
But you are
And so you must be.

Instead of sorrow at your absence,
I’ll send you joy and love on your path,
And live and live happily on mine…

And I’ll beg the heavens
To bring us back, in joy and love and happiness
One day.

Shades of Light

I may not need you
To make me happy;
I may not need you
To give me beauty;
I may not need you
To give me love;
I may not need you
To show me the way…

But without you
I am without you,
Without your particular happiness
To meld with mine,
Without your particular beauty
To behold in awe,
Without your particular shade of love
That embraces the world in different ways,
Without your ways
To watch in mirthful, childish wonder and adore.

Without you…

I may not be alone…

But we do not share the same moments anymore.
We do not share the same shade,
We do not watch the same cloud,
We do not warm under the the same sun rays.

And I cannot look at you,
And it is hard to impress my love upon you,
And it is only in the ether that I may embrace you…

Is it true
That you no longer wish to look upon me,
That you disdain my ways
That once you adored?

I may not need you,
But I need to know
The truth.

You and Me

I would live to delight you,
To turn your every day to magic
As mine are turned by you
As mine are turned by me.

I would live to entice you,
To turn your every sensation into bliss
As mine are turned by you
As mine are turned by me.

I would live to be your love,
To turn your heart to molten gold
As mine is turned by you
As mine is turned by me.

I would live to be your girl,
To adorn your very side with glory
As mine is adorned by you
As I am adorned by me.

I would live to be your peace
To be the respite you choose
As I choose you
As I choose me.

I would live for nothing but love
And you would be the love I live
As you are you
As I am me.

I would live to be forever yours
To be your eternal everything
As I, already, in my heart, belong with you
As you, already, in my heart, belong with me.

Desert

I deserve to be kissed with temul,
To be loved with such a verve,
To be wanted, desired like none other,
To be pursued with the intent of a hungry wolf.

I deserve to be wanted by a man I want,
To fall in love endlessly,
To be powerfully lauded in silent awe
By a man I love as endlessly.

I deserve to be kissed, and woken up,
My every cell alight,
My every nerve trembling with joy
At forever possibility.

I deserve to rest vulnerably,
To be safe in a world of safety
To finalize my love infinitely
In a love of final infinity.

I deserve to be:
To be well in a magical way
To take for granted nothing
In a today-forever-now.

I deserve you…
For every one of you, I love
So powerfully,
So infinitely.
