It's not a science

Asymmetry

Your thoughts go off on tangents;

Mine are pinned in orbit around you

Drawing silent ellipses

in the emptiness between

Everyone tells me that

what I'm tracing is imaginary

or irrational

Maybe it's radical, but it's real

like magenta

our wavelengths don't intersect

You think everyone is playing an angle

My thoughts are on the level

if a bit protracted

My interest is compounded

by the pull of the attraction

Curves and ratios

You say there is no chemistry

yet the sight of you

sends shivers down my spine

while my thoughts bubble and churn

I feel the Earth shift beneath my feet

The storm on the horizon raises

static on the line

I can't offer you any proof

There is no derivation

But it's electric

Acceleration

Momentum

A force

beyond my control

Recent poems:

I've taken a liking
To a miniature Viking
With tattoos and a radiant smile
She's had a bit of bad luck
So I admire her pluck
And I hope she finds me worthwhile

I could never quite figure

what was missing in my life

until the day you walked into it.

 

I think you’re the proof that

What life puts through pressure and fire

Sometimes comes out as a diamond.

 

And I would trade all my riches

For the more precious find 

of your laugh and mischievous smile.

------------------

The azure depths of your eyes

are truly enchanting.

And it's a good thing, too.

Else my gaze might linger

a bit too long

On other parts of you.

I spend more time imagining

the curves of your body

than I would care to admit,

dreaming of caressing

slowly, tenderly, passionately

your neck, your thigh, your...

But wait! If I've said too much

don't judge me harshly

for I am but a man.

And truly I'll have both

your friendship and your body

If there's any way I can.
