Together


Watch the dewdrop bead
and roll down the shadowy cleft
then see the gleam of need
coating every layer of skin

eyes that follow one�s every move
see more than the collar of sin;
a soul that hungers to join, to linger
where a heart is encapsulated, waiting

every stroke, well intended,
is equally given and received
searing a bond, a possession
two ensnared in a momentous rapture

there is a knowing
in the gleam of passion
shared by two
a sense of belonging

together

Haunted

Your omnipresence surrounds me

invades my thoughts

heightens my senses

so that I see your shade

beside me, shimmering,

throughout the day

and I am driven by the desire

to reach out

and touch your warmth

but my hand passes through you

and I am given only

the illusion of heat.


this is

what being haunted feels like.

�2009 Mysty Johnson
When

grievous utterance
with a grimace of anathema
and I was supposed to keep loving you

jabs and vocal blows
contempt dripping with each spoken word
and I was supposed to keep loving you

what happened to us?
we used to dance and laugh
we used to go out and come back in
to spend hours loving each other tender.

when did the hating begin
and the loving end?
when was us
over
?
