Transgression

I am taken far, yet far is closer,
My eyes that wander willingly;
They wander on the flesh, the skin;
Those lovely lips encourage sin.

Now rest your head upon my shoulder
Lovingly, yet for embrace;
I beckon you to take my place
Where passions love is ambiguity.

Save words, save rhyme, save saving saves,
But save me here to wallow.
Your tearing eyes reminded me
Of oh, how much I love you.

To die, to dream my past away;
I would be therefore flowered.
To dry, to blow like sand away;
I will be there for carried
On the wind and in the air.
And from the wind my love will show
By the fluttered movements of your hair.





I am the two-toed wanderer

poetic smiles to you
