all night the walls cry, closing in, squeezing; enlarged hands engulf, fastening to my voice box, forcing me to cough you up and out; out of me, out of my soul, out of my knowing.
Why do you stay when you know you don't want me?
robust feet echoing, trampling; tamed boot heels aimlessly digging into my heart, grinding up the hope that I hoped for the two of us; I guess it must have been me alone doing all the hoping.
Surely you must know by now that I am a woman who needs far more than melodic and lyrical hands coasting about my naked chocolate skin, wetting the insides of my thighs, causing me to burst forth erotic rain.
Why do you stay when you know you don't need me?
Wet my mind instead; wet it with the sweet seeds that open to meaningful intentions, fascinating dialog; wet it with the fertilizer, giving root, connecting us, intertwining; wet my heart with a bugle triumphantly blowing the crystals of understanding; blow hard on it, jumpstarting what should have been by now set afire, blazing; don't you know by now I am far more than physical emotionality?
Why do you stay when you know you don't see me?
Look at me, look into me, my round brown calling eyes . . . deep surrender soul of me; touch that; fill that cup; fill it up; sweats of appreciation crown the tips of me; respect shouts "yes!" sensitivity drives me like fast purring Jaguars and Cadillacs; do that for me; pierce that tough skin with arrows hidden in the back pockets of those straight-leg Levi jeans; take the starch from that white collar Stetson shirt and knead it; make it supple; pliable, bending to commitment, oneness, mating from the inside, filling the hollow places, the dried up brooks.
Why do you stay when you know you don't . . . don't hang around don't make a sound don't want to be found don't break down don't even frown don't laugh or clown don't touch my heart but my gown don't press or hound
Why do you stay? What are you hanging around for? I . . . can't . . . make . . . you . . . whole.
This is nothing short of magnificent. Seldom

This is an outstanding write. Love is much more than sexuality and you say it beautifully here. That last line is a reality check.
