High Tide

Lie with me in a slate blue, ocean

bed

waves of covers above our heads, meet soft

like cool waters that creep along the shore creep into my

heart

and seep through porcelain skin.

Your fingers, ships, explore each curve and shore,

and oh i adore the crescent smile on your

face

and shoulders providing a safer place

than the world outside.

For a girl, so different from the rest: the tides have been rough

She weeps at night, drowning

alone

hands clutched tight around a phone

that never seems to

receive

the call when she needs it to.

Lie with me in this ocean bed and erode my fears

away like rock beds smoothed

to the smallest, finest grains that slip

between your curious fingers.

Still searching for hidden treasures;

secret pleasures

while your smile beams bright

on your moon face, full tonight and I

fight hard to gaze long at the

stars

above the roaring, slate blue ocean, and Mars.

a pair of burning red lips hung in the sky.

 

One Month, Tomorrow
For David

"One month is tomorrow,"

you said, love as I walked out your door

down your front steps, a thousand miles away.

One month, tomorrow-

Because days with you, Love, are minutes.

Time is fleeting, yes, but there is no time with you:

there is only you and me

(not even the space between us exists).

One month, tomorrow-

And tomorrow when I wake, from a 30 dream sleep-

I’ll wake with your face beside mine, Love,

tomorrow morning, one month away.

The Chemist and The Poet

It’s funny how two people,
Who would normally just exchange
a few polite nods or words at an uncomfortable dinner party-
would ever fall madly in love.
One drinking a cool, safe import beer
while the other sips red wine as if she were born
to indulge herself in Pinot,
somehow manage to collide in this world
and spend almost every waking, and awaking moment together.


His brilliant, Type A, organized life,
complete with potato chip clips,
endless scientific knowledge
and the same nightly bedtime routine,
should have been no match for her
Type B, poetically slumped body draped on his couch,
like a Renaissance painting, pondering the ways of the world.

But, they are a perfect match no matter how many times
She will sigh and declare in a careless, careful voice
“It’s up to you, Honey.”
When he probes her about what she wants for dinner.

Maybe it is his sound stability-
Or her wild unkept hair, hanging in her eyes
that continues to fascinate them.
Or perhaps it is even the way that they breathe

Her short, scuttled pants; a sign of anxiety or excitement
And he, taking long and scheduled exhales
That somehow allows them to be one breath in tandem
Regardless of her stars blindly running
And his complete transfers of electrons between atoms.
