Make It Hard (to Think of Words)

lyrics fail me, lips take center

stage as WRAP their open quiver

round about your WELCOME, enter

two as dip ourselves in river

christening with holy water..

sweat that lends its WET to slipping

tween the muted stories, author

finds no RHYME than savoured dripping

make it hard for BREATH and secrets

make it easy, flesh and falling

under spell, am SILENT, SLEEPLESS

words that make it hard, is all..

-

I heard a song, a singer viral

RAIN and KISSES, laughter spills

like gaze that follows jeans in spiral

downward tugging, MOUTH with skills

when humming tune.. the MELODY

escapes a one endeavours craft

the verse and chorus floating free

ungathered as UNMOORED, my raft

so here I dive and SWIM to shore

where caught in reeds, a bather snagged

by poetry that makes me yours

an author WORDLESS, writer gagged..

-

if wake me up from fast asleep

and take me down the roads AFAR

LESS TRAVELLED, mapless, diners cheap

for miles desert, night and stars

to let me DRINK WHILE DRIVING in

a motel room, the beer is flat

as seated on our bed.. your GRIN

still leaves me speechless, moments fat

with what we say in tacit din

of PILLOW QUIET, rubbing pieces

sticks together, fire, SKIN

your candy-coated hills and creases..

-

kiss me low my trunk and limbs

and lick me where I SWEAT IN POOLS

as CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, the film

that dares to eat a peach as jewels

BESPARKLE round our heads if tripping

hippies years ago.. we feel

like teens who find in SKINNY-DIPPING

loving hearts and parts that heal

as muzzle me with OVERAWE

when ravage in your voiceless tongue

NO SINGING, inking, flapping jaw

unloud as you and me among..
