Your brightest hours yet
May these hours be
Candle-lit
For when the dark reminds you
It is the eleventh hour
The day is waning
Your heart is longing
And you haven’t met me yet
We say we trust us
So bring donuts tomorrow
Sprinkles and creme-filled
Not taking no for an answer, She
Dressed up sexy for the crimes of He
Master-mechanic motivating, She
A fine-tuned engine emerges, He
Speaking in the same tongue, You & Me
Ascend from sorrow’s basement, We
I will gift you
Machine man, me
Eyes clear now
Future-ready
Take your Soldier hand
Study, journey with you
This trip around the Sun
We familia
I will gift you
Speed demon, victory
Bodies torqued
This skin, yours
Time trials completed
Finish line, Westward
This whispered promise
We checkered-flags
I will gift you
Sugar boy, pie
Feed you tenderly
Sing to you
In perfect pitch
Make a wish
This catch-me vision
We with lights on
Where is the ether of you
You cannot be nowhere
Yet, I cannot find you anywhere
Never by my side
Never to my rescue
Never where I need you
Always, those days and these
I live as a void, a vortex
Forever, a you-shaped yearning
Your heartbeat, heartbeat
The last truth you said to me
My ear to your chest
Piece of some screenplay.
Hoped it was a script, I did.
But no — it’s your life.
I won’t be provoked
A lonely man once said
By her solemn words, as Cupid’s arrow flying, from those lips he lived for to kiss
Of her, his thoughts were consumed
I won’t be convinced
He’d determinedly decided
By her clean heart, the last of its species dying, from those feet he’d planted in defiance
Of what it is to be loved
That native language
A foreign-love affair
A promise to live
Always and ever
For the first time
After all those years
Best friends building a home on a hill
Perfect ingredients grown in a garden
Kitchens and dance floors, garages and road maps
Weary-strong hands holding fast in the night
You talked that talk
Juicy
Miracle from God
I met my match in you
Which of us has the quieter lips
The longest green stare?
Mechanical
Bastard, but not exactly
Father-figure to everyone, you
So help me now
Let’s dance, like you said, damn it
