/dev/heart

I will this missive unto you bestow
mine heart will always weep should you be gone
whose anguish does cause me in sleep to row
yet be at peace while I to you belong

your scent is sweet just as it’s lavender
it’s heady fumes do me intoxicate
to dark and naughty thoughts you do me spur
and lay you down and slow luxuriate

my life to you I give without a doubt
my love devotion and my soul please take
and keep them safe against the night’s ill clout
so I may next to you this morning wake

these words I do in truth and meaning pen
for I without you fear my life should end

Jewels are your eyes, a grace
Green emeralds fair light your face
A merry twinkle forever fixed
A smile always upon your lips
I love you

So many words fill
my head like bees
they swarm round
and round
and round

and each time I…
I hold them in
on elastics
they can’t leave

they anger
and sting
eager for that sweet
sweet release

dare I let them
out of me?

I fear the thought
the words
the questions
the rejections

so I sit content
to hear the buzz
and wait for that
that fateful day
for sweet release
