Couple Couplets

I’ve got to admit it, finally, that

The sneaking round’s got limitations


I’ve never been one to lie too tough

But I can’t deny your invitations


They only see the aftermath, not the birth

And it’s like with you I ain’t got reservations


And I can just do all these things

That usually cause hesitation


I stare into your sleeping face

It’s like meditation


Then you open your heavy eyes

And I find my elevation 


Because really, if we dig deep

It’s been so easy since it’s formation


And it’s like every time is new

Like each worn touch is creation 


My inhales press ribs, I take deep breaths

But they ain’t for bracing


I get these checkered beats

As my heart starts racing


So I will waffle out of it if it means 

I got your strong arms embracing


Tonight I’m home though, I’m alone though

I’m pacing kitchen and chasing


My belly as it’s lacing air 

Heavy as it’s grabbing organs and devastating


This brutal rush flushes cos you ain’t here

Then in my imagination I’m tasting 


The flesh that was present

Now past, (say skated, not skating)


Along mine, all proud and kind

As the moon was hating


The daylight, keeping it at arms length

In our nighttime playing, saying


Stay Back, as we were fraying

The edges of each other, praying


On breaking knees

With toes and tongues interlacing


But now I’m waiting each hour

Wasting for collaborating


I should hang on the promise of tomorrow

But I’ve never been one for capitulating


Learn how to go off and on

Let absence and union start integrating 


But I was waiting too long for this

I’m a fool if I give power, situating


It as something so casual

When I’m seconds from salivating


Soon as a desire gets fired

Through my nut, elevating 


The deep cuts from my ruts

As they run nails, hallucinating 


That tight bound that goes right round

My past that’s emancipating 


In one another’s final scene:

-I used to be all dream

(I don’t want anything bad to happen to me)

(Anymore))

I deplore

-Those fantasies.
