My heart beat heavy
for your fair Adonis curls
your downy chest and arms
in youthful strength
The poetry in your soul
once so sweet a muse.
Subdued by life too severe
your beard darkened in ambition
your touch hardened in rancor
gouging away with your awl
you drove a stake in my heart
rending it too much
to hold its shape
leaving a pale and ashen sere
I strayed to infuse
the depletion and found
a false love, temporary and forbidding
turning for a moment and
sullying my soul
Returning to the rough veneer
searching for the safe hold
the wrap and cling of you
arms length from pain and not knowing
how to say the words
reach for the touch
so long withheld
My one true love
we left each other too far apart
to step the step into the one heart
that is each other.
Hurry at life's fading
relinquish the hate
that taints the spirit
forsake the anguish
that pierces the core
Hold me to your downy chest
feel my sorrow and my pain
soothe this torn and tortured breast
as my will to do the same
Let me stay forever resting and serene
In the recess of your being
