Caress

Calm burning hands
caress me
tell me that I'm alright
and you lay there
blonde tresses spread around you
your nightmares make you feel as if
you were nothing but a dream
wayward angel
do you know your path?
it leads to me
I've been waiting here for you
for days it seems
and all I want to know is
will you answer?
will you tell me I'm not crazy
that you feel it too?
wayward angel
open up your hands
let me slide into them
let me hold you
still you wait
telling me you want me to slowly
carefully
enter your eager body
and all you can do
while I fill your space
is tell me
silently
you wanted it that way
I'm going to New York
where the streets don't know me
and the people don't care
I'm gonna get spit on like trash
I want to be
I want to lean into the city
breathe life into it
make it whole
black berry phones
do you want an answer?
yes
I do want you
your soul is so delicate
I want to touch it
hold it in my hands
I want to breathe you in
the angels said
"she is yours"
but who is she?
where does she live?
"far away"
and there I stood
silently waiting
angry poems
the world divides us
I am the warm gulf wind
blowing at your sails
waking up your dreams
making you whole
a capsized ship
crashes into the water
and I'm underneath
drowning
