The Dock and the Full Moon

Let this moment lapse
like so many others before it,
and let it not be wasted,
but multiplied with great love.
Let this moment hit the
waves of my soul,
causing it to stride and
slip over the cautious
capabilities of my character.
Let it never forget the
being it touched,
With much oblivious escape.
Let this moment patter
over my darkened skull,
bend my fibrous brain,
and allow it to break my chains.
With great abandon and
senseless awareness.
This person is not affected
by the dings and mechanical
music of masquerading idealism.
But by moments that smash
through my optimal defenses.

Nothing much better to have

Taking time to rise above
our natural instincts,
is harder to do than to say.
I'd have to take the time
to keep my doubts at bay.
I'm not sure I'm ready to do that.
Tendencies toward perspiration
are not a signal for you commence.
It's never that easy.
Because while you have my body,
There's nothing for you
from the rest of me.
If that's truly what you seek out.
there's things I don't ever need to share
nothing I can say to make you care.
So I leave you at my gates
with nothing your heart has to bear.

Kiss and Tell

Something so sweetly
implanted in the earth of my heart.
So warm and friendly
imposed synthetically
the promise of absolution
and annihilation.
Tag my earthen heart
with another poisoned promise.
Oh please, lie to me
and tell me this fits perfectly.
Taste my tender wilderness
and let me go all the same.
Or at least imply that I wasn't
meant for what you had to offer me.
Your fears are wildly
unpronounced and open.
I looked down on you the entire time
and
to be completely honest,
didn't buy what you thought of me.
Perhaps I'm jaded.
Perhaps I don't speak the truth.
Is that what you assume to be?
You'll never know
and I never kiss and tell.
