A Life Shared

Poem about love, sharing and togetherness

A life shared

 

Sit with me, oh melting bliss,

Like a kiss of chocolate in the hot sun

 

Speak to me, with

finger-tips and parted lips.  

Share with me, you.

 

Lay with me, and watch the sky when calming clouds

remind us of possible peace

Our minds releasing forced hope

 

Hold me like silk shivering upon the

skin, sliding beneath your caress.

 

Sup with me. We’ll share a meal or a mint. With hands, teeth, tongue and lips.

I’ll watch you eat, you’ll indulge me in this way.

 

Sometimes lust is a flavor.

 

Finish with me, our fingers entwined.

A tangle of hair beneath your palms.

The smell of earth given form,  

and a consensus to rule the earth,

thrust into the waves of our origins.

 

Listen with me, to the hum of the pressure-turgoring trees,

and to the lopping of rain, splashing into quivering puddles,

with slow, gentle, thumps.

 

Like a life shared, our togetherness, dynamic, trusting the time we’ve been given.
