Sonnettics

Don’t cry with tears that melt on cheeks of bone
But if you can’t withhold the sobs you own
then give them to your love to break your heart.
A soul in love will tear itself apart
without the bath of tears, the saline mock
of real imagined pain of which we talk
with cracking breath try hard to understand
that love is mostly true when it is banned
Then ban your love and cry yourself to sleep
With dreams that will consume your lovely weep
And kiss your lover’s ghost; her body shakes
it gives your mind the images it makes
you won’t make love with someone who is ill
And if your love is well, you never will.

Come kiss the kiss I’ve saved all day for you
I like to kiss the woman who is mine
If she can kiss, we’ll kiss the whole night through
Her kisses and her love are more divine
than some divinity to which men pray
And in her lips I taste our Riesling wine
I have a quiet mouth to turn her way
I love to kiss her when she’s most supine
Our love is something that I love and care
“I love you baby, you are who I kiss”
when I’m in dreams and need the love we share
We share our love more often though than this
Forever is too short a time to feel
Your kiss which let’s me know that you are real.

To be in Mari’s life it’s when I feel
the love she has for me; her love is real
I tell the world she saved my life; it’s true
And I would love to tell her what I knew
the moment that I felt her love and skin
I felt my life begin, my life begin
And now my life is hers forever more
I’ll keep her love and mine I’ll hold in store
for Mari when she needs my love the most
I hope the most is always; I’ll be host
to anything she wants, I’ll give it all
to Mari; I’m in love; I didn’t fall
in love to be a small pathetic thing
To Mari there is much that I can bring.

I hate to sleep alone, but dreams will come
My lover will be in my sleeping sight
I love my lover dreams; I sleep like some
new vision’s beauty guides me through the night
I touch her perfect skin like she is mine
I know I’d never touch another so
My mind with lover dreams will help refine
my broken body misses her as though
her flesh compels my balance to be good
I never want to hurt again like now
I’ll trust myself to loving like I should
She touches me with songs of us and how
our love is pure; a love we always need
I love her song and how my soul is freed.
