Iodine

Just words

                          Iodine

For years I have swim in s**t and I didn't care. I dodged the longing, belonging and needy want of love. I learn love is fair. In the end. Winners and losers find the same dead-end.

The pretty girl  wanting eyes looked into my eyes. Searching for the salvation of perfect kiss and embrace. I wrote a poem for her. Just honest words to smooth the way to a unrequited love.

                     Iodine
Lace, silk sheets and long night. Make the lovers wish and hold out.
Dark is the night when lonely people confuse lust for love.
Body needs make fear of fleeing love invisible.
The sweet hard kiss tasted like stale whiskey and old wine.
Unkempt love must find  mutual place and need.
You are a ornament of beauty. A treasure for a wise man.
Dead heart and hope cannot be healed by the kiss of Iodine cure.
The dead never can rise again. Love arising. Just myth and tale for the desperate.

The pretty girl smiled. Her eyes like a wild cat staring down wanted prey. She told me. Pretty words dear Poet.
Meaningless to a dancing girls who know the truth. Sacred love is alluring and sweet, but amidst the frailness of living. We take what we need. I have heard sweet song of love and great promises. Now I accept rustic words and just enough. Promises not made, cannot be broken. We must dig deep into the well of hope and sweetness. Find safety and some place of comfort to rest and feel a warm body near. She kissed my face and neck. Held me tightly.

I have loved this woman for a long time. A different kind of love. I watched her dance for years and we became friends. I loved her long legs, long auburn hair and perfect body. I was her ride home and safe place to land. Today her hazel eyes were needy. I told her. Dear Kathy. I'm humble by your words. I know woman control all things. If you need me. I'm here. I will follow you to unknown place.

She took my hand and we went to open dance floor in the Belton, Texas and I held her close. She stirred hope and laughter with her voice and pretty smile. She whispered to my wanting ear. This is life Johnnie. We must dispose of the past leaving the echos of disappointment behind. In the midnight hour. I want you to drink of me. Make me feel needed, like I'm the only one you need.

I kissed her long and sweet and I whispered. You are the only one my love.

at the end of this poem Cayote, you become the un-poet just for an instant. The one who
elevates the sentimentalized ideas to the most central form of communication. "You are the only
one my love". Which, when uttered at the end, turns all else into an eclipse of sorts; an obscuring
of everything else this poem can be about.

It is unashamedly, the ultimate statement of devotion. Beautifully written my friend....
