Linda M. Crate- Three Poems

swan to the jackal

 

laughter 

like silver bells

dance on your lips

sings me sweet orgasms of love

your hands dance me

spasms of ecstasy,

you 

dance over me

sweet tulips of laughter

whose fragrance spins me smiles

that never fade

unlike those tattered spider webs

blowing loose all the

misery of your

soul;

let me help reconstruct

everything you've lost and kiss

it all better—

always i've loved you

then and now

i won't stop so never let me go

don't make me stay away

because you're the

only place that's ever felt

like home,

and i've wandered to many lakes

before finding your romance.

you're the music of my heart

 

you strum my consciousness

with lust and desire

a dangerous ocean of emotions

threatening to drown me in it's melody

a pleasure that sometimes

seems too good to be true,

but i'm glad that is

for you're the only song that

sounds good to my 

heart fluttering it's threadbare

wings to an unforgiving world

harsher than it's own

realities; i love

how the sun bends even a 

sparkle in your

magic hair

or how your brown eyes sparkle

in the moonlight—

love the way you can make

me smile even if it

terrifies me that you hold

my heart,

and i only hope you never

crush it because i may be your

one but you are mine as

well; i love how your laughter makes

it seem like someday we'll be okay.

 

 

the making of forever

every moment without you
hurts
a knife in the chest
twisting and turning until
i can barely stand it
anymore,
the silence is what i love most
slipping between us when
you're sleeping,
and the lull of your heartbeat
sings such pretty songs to me
and everything seems okay
before the chaos of
the day comes in with it's wrecking ball
decides that craziness will reign
i just like the quiet moments
of you and me,
the precious things no one can take
away from us
the memories that last: forever.
