Machinations

Words are plastic, 
shapeable by the speaker and the listener, 
and as such are somewhat less than the thoughts and feelings that we wish to convey by them. But here across space, 
where the silence of your smile 
and the taste of your skin are distant stars in a twilight sky, 
words carry all of the Gravity left to us. 
Thus I offer you these machines, 
these words, 
to understand, work and shape as you will: 
Cold, Reaching, Resonance and Desire.

Element: Void

Void

This is where there is nothing;

Nothing between us, nothing around us,

Nothing but us.

No space as I enter you,

No distance as you clench me,

No time but that told by the beating of our hearts.

We singular are, one from many,

And nothing exists but your nails in my back,

My breath on your neck,

My hands under you, lifting you,

Your eyes holding me, lifting me.

We are the friction of dark galaxies,

Filling what was never meant to be empty.

Frantic in our desire to be,

To create,

We have inhaled each other’s souls and bodies,

Quenched the thirst of our needs,

Reflected on our desires

Nourished our animality

Set fire to Infinity

And radiated the equations of Eternity

All with this Lust,

With this Love that we were made from and made for.

We move against, into, with one another

As if for the first/last time,

Like all that has been hasn’t,

Like we are something new in this Universe

Until your body shudders against me,

Carrying me away in its blessing

And I speak my word into your void,

Our particles colliding up, down, top and bottom,

Screaming each other’s names

As we fall spent,

Strange and charmed,

Knowing we have held nothing back,

Left nothing out,

And have nothing left.

Street Song 6: Once Again Until Once More

We stand here together,

Once again,

Hand-in-hand and everything is beautiful.

We talk and we laugh just like before.

And then I see you talkin’ to that dude

That you know I got beef with.

So now I got questions,

And you givin’ the rolly-eye?!

And we back arguing

Just like we used to be.

Is this why we got back together?!

To yell and scream once again?

Until once more we realize what

We’re doin’ to each other,

And then it’s “Honey, I’m sorry”

And love is love, holdin’ hands and shit.

Man, I don’t know what I’da done

If I lost you this time,

But I didn’t so everything is cool

Once more until once again

Ya girls is tellin’ you that they seen me

In the mall with my son’s moms

And now you trippin’

Know what I mean? Tryin to flip on me?

Don’t you see the game is on?!

And Vick runnin' the ball?!

And anyway, my cousin said he think he thought

He saw you and your hoochie ass friends

In the club, you know that night you

Said your Moms was sick?

So what the deal?

Know what, matter fact, fuck that,

I’m goin back to my Moms an shit,

Get me a job, save some loot an

Get my own spot once more

Til once again I’m sittin’ here

Dealing with these girls that don’t mean

Shit to me just to keep my

Heart from feelin’ so damn empty.

Damn, I hear your voice in the wind

And I wish I could have you back

Once again. 

Untitled

In your eyes, your smile, your arms,

All that I ever was

Became all that I ever wanted to be;

All my distance and despair transformed,

Replaced by comfort and safety.

I cannot say that my heart has gone out to you,

Because I cannot say that my heart has ever

Been anywhere but with you.

All I do know,

And pledge to with my dying breath,

Is that had there never been Love in all Creation,

It would have been born the day I found you.

Element: Air

Air

This we create.

My breath, your breath

Joining, spinning, combining, becoming

Much more than our words;

The sweet thoughts of God;

The fluid we breathe as we inhale each other,

Love-filling our lungs, as we soar

Together through the morning,

Dew drying on our skin as we part the clouds,

Change the weather with our regard,

Sweep the leaves of the Worldtree ever onward

With the exhalation of our desire;                                  

As we rise.

We move soulward, on the wind of need,

Being the air hearts breathe

As our own hearts beat to Heat-music,

Making me rise against you,

Your nipples rough against my chest,

Breath fire against each other’s necks

As we rise.

We spin this world,

We blow, we swirl,

Lifting all lovers as we fly overhead,

Winds of sensuality becoming

A tornado of passion, of desire, of Love

Taking heed neither of reason nor responsibility,

Not while we kiss, not as you lift your breast to me,

Not as I suckle as we ascend,

Lifting everything with us in a spiral

That presses us even closer.

As I kiss down your body,

You shiver at my breath on you

As your incense rises to my lips

My hands moving along your lower back

As I lick you, tasting the first salt

Of your sweetness

As we spin, as we revolve,

As we rise.

Reciprocal Identities (Lean on Me)

(I am 1/you)

Let this arm be the standard,

My soul the fortress,

The rock, that shelters you from the sky

I will take all you have to give

Giving in return comfort in the night.

I am yours, and bow to you in this,

My all given into your respite,

Your solace.

I am the shelter from the past,

The easer of the now,

Tree standing against the wind.

And if ever, whenever,

The world is too much with you,

Come to me

And know the comforts of my Mathematics.

(You are 1/me)
