Quarters

turning, slowly staring
cutting your eyes like diamonds
faceted, beautiful. 
electrically charged.
dreaming of the power within your arms
the rosy, Hot feeling in my cheeks grows
swallowing dryness in my throat
so weak from it, i stumble and choke
i sigh, laugh it off
but my cover just broke-
the front i must uphold
for this is one story
that must never be told.
all that glitters is not gold-
but you're shiny- 
and i'm sold.
hair falling-
brush it out your face
sweeping past your Eyes as it hangs
your scruff ' s  loose change-
quarters on the ground
i am tempted to take-
but dirty money-
the kind that might break the bank.
Swimming pools in your soul,
like the one we graze with our feet
vast, open, and clean like chlorine
days in the sun
only come
when we meet
The more we have, the more i believe
That who i am to you
might be
what you are to me.
diving gracefully.
water moving in small rivers,
watch me-
as i gaze into your idea.
your thoughts, your words,
magenta in your verse
like bourbon when you curse
my eyes glazed with the surf
as i see the soft decay in yours
accept my faults and flaws
my choice, and my voice
my red fruit lips hold hanging
from your poplar trees
stark like poison
sweet like tangerine
make your move
you wade into the blue
mouth under the water
my eyes fixed on you
i want this, yes-
my hand on your chest
i smile, because iv'e Never
been caressed like this-
Oh, it's magic
and this Time
i want it-
i drop off my philosophical guns
and Rip off my metaphysical vest
have at my heart-
past old scars
and bullet holes left
breathing softly
he calmly approaches me
but i have to contain myself
as my pulse steadily beats
i see all of our time 
in fabricated memories
things i yearn for
things i wish to see
as the past, the pool
and the present
surround us,
you put your hand on my cheek-
don't leave, please
let me fade into you,
almost lost-
i breathlessly lean into your touch, but
i wake up. i wake up.
it's not Enough. you were never really here.
i can't do this anymore, it hurts too much.
i can't dream About you-
this pool is drowning me in lust
thinking about you isn't enough.
because everytime i think of you-
i think i'm in Love.
