A kiss

I can see it in the way you look into my eyes
My soul rushing into yours
Never touching
Never saying a word
But in the gentleness of your voice
In the silent sighs hidden in half-breaths
I feel your spirit reaching out to me
I feel your body crying out for mine

But we are caught in the sadness of our situation
In our helpless disposition
Yet everyday I see you
Everyday we run around and we play our games
Though we never cross the line
How could we?

How could we not?
When I tremble at the thought of you
When my lips quiver at the sight of you
When I betray what I know is right
When I lose all reason
I am frail
I am weak
I would give up everything for this mistake

Days build upon themselves
The tension will find a way to break
And through the darkness
Through the clout of our desires
Our lips will meet in heightened anticipation
Who knows where it will lead us?
Lost in this blissful tragedy

Zahir

And from out of the blue
Like an evening apparition
I turn my head and am overcome with longing
I close my eyes and accept the emptiness in my soul

And it again seems clear
That in all the days I thought you were gone
I was never without you
Like winged guardians
Like silence never noticed
Like the beating of our hearts

Beyond reason
Beyond doubt
It is as it is
There are no questions
Just acknowledgement and acceptance

Then I realize that this moment is fleeting
Treading the line that breaks into insanity
Staying afloat only for a matter of time
Should I keep you in my consciousness?
Or keep you in my sleep?
Should I spend the rest of my days in madness?
Or do I lay you to rest once more?

At what price does peace come?

Besieged

I want you
To want me
I want you
I want to
You want to
Want me
Again and again
And again

Your skin glistens
In the light
Your bareness shivers
Under mine
Flesh clashing
Slipping and sliding
Over and over
And over again

I want to be
Inside you
Inside your thoughts
Inside your hurts
Inside your wants
Inside
Every
Single
Second
Inside
Every
Single
Sigh

Rapture
I want to
Consume you
Inch by inch
Piece by piece
I want your taste
At the tip of my tongue
And your smell
On my skin

Consumed
To the verge of insanity
Of losing it all
Of falling apart

Hold me
In this bliss
Hold me with all that you can
Stay strong in your fragility
Hold on through the pain
Which you want to let go
But can't get enough of

This lashing
This stabbing
The jolting
The piercing through your soul
Over and over
Deeper and faster
Tearing you
Breaking you down
Treading the line
Between pleasure and pain

Reaching higher
And higher
Almost to
And you
Are going to
It's getting too
Too much
Oh, just too
No
Yes
Don't
Stop
It's almost
Oh
It's over
Oh
It's over
It's done
