Fire Pit

Topic: oops

How soon those eyes of yours
stretch across
to grab me by the soul
and squeeze
til heart drops drip
drip drip
and my knees
clank away
shaking.

Each time I say
I will not let
these feelings sway:
my common sense
turns away
abandoning me;
my helpless self
my angry self
my begrudging self
all line up inside me
and caterwaul;

leaving me exposed
to fiery Excitements Touch
poised above my soul straining
against Respondment's call
but l am losing the will
my soul fluid
dripping away.
.
Where is the key you have
which unlocks my door?

Where is the silent heart switch
which clicks which turns on my heart?

Where is that definition of love
that here fits?

What is the core of that mystery
I share with you
even when I don't want to:
when I want really want to hide or run;

when my tent flap is closed
it opens
by my own hand
against my will
and I am always surprised
wondering what part of my brain
worked that hand
despite the other brain part
saying no,
don't reach
don't go
but I do;

streaming
in my wake
abandoned regrets
and doubt;
as our silhouettes merge
in this holiday tent;

I hear
a night owl
go hoot.
Hoot.

Amy's in the fire-pit
soul aflame
memory gone.

Heart spent
recklessly
on another night
with you in the
warm summer
souls joined.

The first three paragraphs were gripping.
