Poems about my marriage

 

My heart's level levity

Satisfied like a ripened plum dripping down your chin

Feels so good it must be a sin
Like laying on the hood of your car
Watching the stars
But wishing on Venus and Mars

I am the moon on your shoulder
Lighting the snow like the sun
Spinning sentiment sung
Floating where the restful river runs

Conned; A compromised conniption
With wine flushing your perfect diction
And finger tips feel like pages of fiction
Evergreen eyelashes crash

I am passed the fall
Broken into the wall
Click clack boom crack and I snap back back back
Roses purple black to keep track
Where I lack.
A screaming fuck, a fight, a flight and stolen insight
Indulging in gasoline to put the fire out
And I’m not, I’m sure, I’m sure what this is about
A shaking breaking taking body and a clean fast
A harboring hand and a grateful gasp
A bleeding fist and heavy eyes
A kick to the side to break the ties
And I burn for these lies


I am four knocks on your door
Ripped stockings and lips on your collar bone
A dress in the wind hair whipping around my face
I can see you there
Right there.
I am your moltave cocktail
One dangerous drink, Draga
I can feel your uniform against my skin
Like a 5 oclock shadow scratching my inner thigh
I’ll drink you in like I’m in the desert
I’m dying and so, so
Thirsty
Your jeans are still warm from when you were in them


Hallelujah

Praying for grace
From child to mother and wife
A confirmation butterflies like teary eyes
A kiss that soothes even a rabbit’s heart
Shaking in a cold sweat of what ifs
Sleepless nights for my morning moon
A heartbeat to catch my breath
Like a kiss on a wedding night
A new tide in a crystal sea
The unknowns almost as great as the love
A leap into open arms
A hope, my heart, my husband
My home like a passing in the night
A grateful Hallelujah





Away

Distance is a sharp blade in the night
The piercing pain presented in poison
That we ignore
Hugging a pillow to distill the absence
Telling myself that I don’t need to be touched
My aching lips mourn
A shaky breath to push it aside
A slow grief with hope attached
There is nothing
Only your voice
Only your touch
Only your hands
Only your scent
Only your arms
Only your hold, your kiss, your caress
Only you carry me
Put my heart on hold
To keep this candle burning
