Poem: For How Long? by StephenP(m): 10:04pm On May 07, 2009
We lay
Eyes fixated on one another
Hearts joined as one
She smiles…traces my lips with her finger tips
Speaking to me from her soul
She says,

Kiss me

For how long? I ask

Kiss me till the pores on your tongue long for me whenever I’m not near
And every sense resonates memories of you and I love-tied and love-soaked
Drenched in our passion lost in our love…kiss me till our lips become one


And so I do as she says

Again we lay
Hands locked in full embrace
Souls melted whole
She laughs…plays with the hair on my lower abdomen
Speaking to me from her heart, she whispers this

Hold me

For how long? I ask

Till the length your arms extend are for only me and the feel of it all comes naturally
Magnetically we meet, forces beyond our control,
The pull gets stronger every waking moment till we emerge one mind, body and soul
Hold me till I’m engraved deep in your skin so when I’m not around you can still feel me within
Hold me till you never need to wonder if we belong…hold me till we are one


And so I do as she says

Again we lay
Her head rested upon my chest
She takes a deep breath signaling it was time to rest
Before I dream I have one more thing to ask, she says

Love me

For how long? I ask

Till it becomes the food we need to survive
Each moment of strife in our relationship causes hunger
Each fight brings about starvation of our minds
And so we run to each other yearning to be satisfied
We forgive and rewind just to have more moments to reflect on each sector of our lives
Our love treats life like an open mic and so we speak to one another fully,
Passionately, clearly, lovingly, critically, cynically, every way possible sometimes even grudgingly
We speak, leaving no words unsaid, no truth unheard
No love unfed
Love me without an end


And so I do as she says

SUPERB!!! Dude you should go to a live Open Mic Club with your poems. Truly, you are going to get a standing ovation. You are beyond talented.

Much love

Thanks for the love Epi. I participated in Open Mics back in college. It was fun! I probably consider doing it again. Once again, thanks for the love.
