KnowingA Poem by Antonio Valentino
Knowing
How does one climb over an invisible wall, when they can’t even see it?
Its as tight as solid flesh yet concoctions succulent, can gush through its semi permeable encumbrance if you happen to hit the X in just the right position.
When one tries to traverse this constraint they can‘t seem to find the hand holds to grip onto, its like warm earthy curtains that protract and clench and then, let go and recede at their own will and prerogative.
And yet, these saturated partitions are like a two way mirror.
One can see in at her, but I don’t think she can really quite see out, at the person looking in.
How does one enter this realm rapturous, when this buttress fails to bend, or even give in, or when this veiled slit aspires, yet won’t pacify and quench its own appetite and, aphrodisia.
One just keeps throbbing away only to be pushed back; yet only half willingly.
It’s like this barricade is made of stumbling blocks, a rampart in the middle of the road, to the intimacy of her trust and, submission.
How does one penetrate possibility without complete, assumption?
And then, maybe there isn’t a wall after all.
Perhaps the person looking in, is in his own glass enclosed garrison, one that’s porous only by whim, and dampened dream light.
One where they are kept, barely, until needed, fed by sustenance of salaciousness and, drink of crush and yearn, that is to say, when she allows him, elixir.
Maybe she was on an, emission to save herself.
Or perhaps, he had his chance, and, he muffed his opportunity.
Maybe, its just all in the eye of the bystander.
And yet, here that person will stay.
Because, he wants to understand.
And, he knows that anything worth having, is worth struggling for.
And because, he misses her, dearly.
He misses how the sparkle in her eyes reflects of the moon, and back into his heart.
He longs for the way their souls embrace, and never let go, when their together, and happy.
But most of all, he craves for her smile, on his.
Yes tonight when he sees her face in the contour, of evening’s beholding, he will look within the slender of reasoning, and think, and then pause, and then, know.
He'll just know.
