Distant Land

Your words
are like honey
on craving lips

Write the words beautiful
a thousand ways
I come undone

Time tenses
inches away
from our lips
ready to seal us
with a kiss

Come closer to me

Now come
and walk off
with me
into this sun
for the sake of
shine

You set
the distance
of miles
I must travel

A dose of truth
light and flood
of lies heavy
send broken minds
to the horizon
but heartful matter
materialize
the broader aspect
of what love is

Where each pen stroke
dances with perfect
rhythm and harmony

In each line
where metaphors
could take place
and personify time
and use similes like
heart beats

Beat as drums
of their sonnet's vanities
and haiku's commodities
lifetime's work
of emotional
outspoken
calligraphy

From the paradox of love
to the tentacles of lust
to poetry of devotion
friendship and trust
we break the monotony
of nights and days
by weaving a fabric
of feelings and phrase

When I hear
your creative soul
speak fathomless depths
My heart's a depthless ocean
feeling the pull of the tide
and the waves of emotion
crashing up against the sides

It's the return
of the spit maker
that conceptual
can't you imagine
it shaper

Brush
them out
in flows
of artful
thought

Write me
write me a poem
where the taboo word
is Love instead of Sex
where foreplay has been
replaced with word play
and the only thing
I lust for is your
intellect

The silent
and illusive
try to stop
the fleeting
hand of time

Twisting
through veins
And pouring
from mouth

Another emotion
fills the well
d
r
o
p
p
i
n
g
to the bottom
of my heart

These feelings
are barely
touching the surface

Like the dime
traveling to make
ripples in the water
skipping through
with an unmistakable flow 

The stars
are barely
shining
like their light
is s-l-o-w-l-y dying
the wind whispers
beneath the trees
loose leaves
branching off to
be limitless piles
of burnt tragedy

You have me floating
oxygen depleted

Love is a nameless man
whose far away
in a distant land

He seduced me
with his words

He made love
to my mind

He commands me
with his tongue and thrust
visions of our passion
and burning lust

Wishing you were here
becoming one in the groove
of the moonlight

Breaths
between
pauses
fail not to gel
that harmonious tune
you spill
ascend upon
these winds of verse
until we drift
into Jazz

"A dose of truth

"Beat as drums
of their sonnet's vanities
and haiku's commodities

calligraphy" The complexity of this stanza warped me into your "distant land". You really have a unique and powerful way with words so congrats on this lovely piece. Very refreshing read:)
