9.25.2012

he says to me
now you can breathe

sharp intake of the heady nostalgia
tinged so slightly with the most
chartreuse of reactions

face in his hand
his firm grasp on
the control
we both know
he possesses
over me

oh, my silent soliloquy of solitude

     a breath from your lungs
     a drink from your lips
     a dream from your sleepless nights
     to come in through the back door
     of your need
     for a hand
     in your hand

the ocean disappears
lost into the night as
a gaze unfurls
rolling down his nose
to land on my soul’s
receptors for connection
that connection

and I’m the captive
unsteady
audience
for this, his complete
conscious decision
to disregard the minute nuances
of my desire
to have him
