Gainor Ventresco Poems

I have wandered alone
Through the dust flecked light shafts
of half truths
and undisguised lies
...

Somewhere between the light and the dark
having cried, but not all of my tears
I found a shade of blue to call my own
Vibrant lemon yellows,
...

The question I long to ask you
spills over my tongue
hits my teeth
And I swallow it down like Cuervo and lime
...

How long will this go on?
Consumed daily by this passionate fire
...the way I tempt fate
tease the flame closer to my eager skin
...

Sometimes you amaze me
You with your quiet strength
wisdom, insights
You inspire and excite me
...

For being here and staying
when i felt abandoned, even by my own heart
Let me thank you now
After all the years I held my breath
...

What difference does it make now to try and be brave
every day for no one but God, who doesn't care and has lost track of my soul
Even the Prophet can not move me to some deeper meaning anymore
I'm black and blue on the inside this time and no one can save me
...

My heart and my feet long to travel
I woke at 3am and lay with my dreams
held them close
wrapped them warmly around my lover and me
...

No longer satisfied simply watching the sunset
I feel compelled to stretch fiery fingers of light
across the universe
Radiate red and orange brilliance
...

If desire, falling down from her mountaintop
should wrap herself around me
and bind my drenching
...
