She's Out There

I'm ready for the way that things will be
Once we have finally found each other.
I'm ready for the time we'll disagree
About the funniest way to bother
The missionaries at your door until
We finally compromise, deciding
That I'll wear the sequined thong and you will
Wear the gorilla suit. So stop hiding
In the potential and come out to play.
I'm ready for the inside jokes we'll share.
Ready to hold you as night becomes day.
Ready with the touch that will take you there,
      Remembering fondly when we first kissed.
     I'm ready to believe that you exist.

True Romance

The most romantic thing I've ever heard
Escaped from her lips during the orgy,
Her voice raspy, shuddering every word,
"You're the only one I want inside me."
And it was as though pleasure suddenly
Had its own gravity, and we became
Mere satellites in orbit around the
Hands he used to take hold of her hips. Flame
Filled up the ever-diminishing space
Between them until it was smothered by
The collision of want and need. Her face
Full of joy, new clarity in his eye.
     Years later they're together, no regret
     Though they don't tell the children where they met.

Becoming We

I want to mature in your aperture
Like light landing lovingly on your eye
Becoming, in your mind, a sight so pure
The whole world fades away in one deep sigh.
Then all that there will be is you and me
Exchanging energy, inventing our
Private paradise for pleasuring the
Mind and body, heart and soul. We devour
The sweet sunlight reflecting on our skin
And sleep when we are sated, holding on
To each other until we wake up in
Reality again, to smile and yawn.
     I will learn your smile like a holy song
     Sung in each other's arms, where we belong.
