CHILDISH NOTIONS

Abandoned tidal pool

Shimmering melancholy

Moonlit desolation

Gravity draws me inward

Exploration of a lonely man-child

It wears me out at times

Strength slowly wanes

In the fierce battle of opposing will

Dreams of her

Stem from gnawing need

Selfish

Possibly

Forgive my childish notions

Poignant lachrymose

Killing me in drone increments

One candlelit memory at a time

Filled with intense anticipation

Her ambrosial taste

Soft supple skin

Enchanting redolence

Gentle throaty sounds

As she slumbers by my side

Hypothetical endurance

Survival

An acquired proficiency

In the relentless raw aggression

Heartaches serrated barrage
