2018

Significant desire

My will and determination

The significant problem is 

That I want

You to be my significant other.

The lovers

If you see me as a willing and conscious temptress

I can’t help it. 

I know that I am providence

Offering to you

Through my imputed lapse

The way to arise ultimately. 

I want you to try painting the pictures you have in mind. 

Our mutual healing as the groundwork we’ve laid.

Becoming whole unto ourselves.

Virgins

Many endings in the past

Everytime circumstance 

Rendered apart

Lifetimes unfulfilled

This is behind us. 

From where I stand I can only see the fight.

Do I continue to try to convince you?

And myself

This is all that is 

Wholly wonderful.

Striving, wracking my brain

Trying everything

To be better, excellent.

Perhaps I am disingenuous

Vain and untrue.

Or perhaps I am skilled

Perfect as I am.

I exist in perfect conformity with nature

At its finest highest art.

And I believe you do too.

Aware of my nature

Aware of you

Faults, flaws, foibles

All recognized! 

And besides

I want to join spirits

Consciously reunite our soul.

A grand hope that this would be ecstasy

Our perfect contentment

Fearing it to be merely comfortable.

If I have courage

I could gain your affections

Trust in our intimacy.

Haste

I won’t wait another moment

For our assured felicity.

Let me be struck by the swift arrows of love 

Pinned together

Rather than split

Anxious and indecisive.
