Poetry list
rebellion and submission
I want you back
as we were I still
live with you
entirely completely
as I can but the
terms of reality have
changed because of
time I struggle as
I miss your beauty
in touch and sight
and voice your
ethereal caress makes
me long and hunger
for the senses of the
flesh as much as the
you was and is your
essence and soul
melded into mine
and burning beating
billowing and breaking
in my solitary today
your presence and power
has not gone but my
purpose has my body
is rudderless becalmed
and careering over time’s
changing seas going
nowhere till I fail
and fall caught and
raised by the one the
only that can bring
me to you
completely
my rebellion and
submission fused
merged obliviated
to be one
