This is

In you I’ve found perfection,

And I’m motionless

From how true you are.

 

This is a testament from

the tears that well up in my eyes

For my emotions fetch them in abundance.

 

These are tears of joy

For they do not fall but create a mirage

In which I see you clearly.

 

You’ve forged a throne in my essence

And my heartbeats are one

With the syllables in your name.

 

Therefore, every pronunciation of your name

Is a proclamation of the passion

With which my heart beats.

 

This is a testament of

how much I want to love you

Because you hold purse strings of my mind, body & soul.

 

In you I’ve found a paragon

And my soul dances daily

With a gaiety the waves in the ocean play.

 

This is the fruition of a foreseeable eternity,

And lifetimes of laughter and joy,

Because life now clicks seamlessly.

Sunrise

It’s around that time again

Just before sunrise,

When solitude sets in.

 

You have a way of crossing my mind

And pausing momentarily,

Long enough for your memories to linger.

 

At this time I’ve written my best odes,

Because you’re at center stage

And there’s a climax of emotions.

 

You’re in the way I hold my pen

And the way sheets of paper attune to my handwriting,

You embody every fraction of spilled ink.

 

I’m jealous of your thoughts,

And I wonder if somehow I’m featured in them

I’m jealous because they seem closer to you.

 

I’m looking for ways to stop thinking of you

Just before sunrise,

When solitude sets in.

– Smyekh David-West.

You are

Engulf me with your definition of love

For mine is riddled with flaws

Because my heart has never in it’s lifetime beat so vigorously

You’re a fresh season.

 

I’m often at a loss for words

So forgive my reticence in your presence,

Because my soul and heart are deep in conversation about you

You’re a blooming flower.

 

My pupils dilate to the existence of your beauty

And it’s color is synonymous to your skin

Because love is sometimes blind for the right reasons,

You’re a perfect shade of earth.

 

Your enunciation has a resounding effect in my essence

It’s either in your intonation or the voice in your laughter, or

Because I have an eternal infatuation with your mind

You’re a metaphor that is my sanity.

 

There’s a number of ways I wish to love you

And in any which way, I end up worshiping you

Because my definition of love demands all of me

You’re a confession of love.

– Smyekh David-West.

Remind me

Remind me of your insides

And remind me of our first time

 

Caress me with your fingertips

And allow my hands wander

 

Look into my eyes and capture my soul

Take me a prisoner of love.

 

Remind me of the languages

I murmur between the deep of your thighs

 

Arouse the lust in the seams of my lap

That I might return the favor

 

Let me into your heart

And hold me there forever.

 

Remind me of the love bites and scratches

That preach a thousand orgasms.

 

My lips are still addicted to

The pleasures your skin boasts

 

So kiss me with a passion

And revive the fantasies you’ve planted in my thoughts.

– Smyekh David-West.
