Lorene Kinsey Poems

An hour to dedicate to her thoughts,
Absorb them, then erupt with the images
she has filled herself with, temporary
relief of the dirtiness that intimacy
...

Andy used to say, there's no other quite like me
Benjamin professed undying love in my eyes blue as the sea
Daniel used to be the one who'd whisper in my ear
Edwin used to tug at me ‘cause I could never be too near
...

Parted there across the way
Waving at the glass
Painted smile across my face
Oh, tears are coming fast.
...

Seeks to stake some sort of claim
upon my frivolous spirit
So I attempt to explain
He feels much more than me.
...

Escapes at the most inopportune times
Like a river from inside me, takes me first
By surprise wondering what I might
Have done that I should be embarrassed by
...

Make love to me I ask, beg,
melt into me, let me feel your skin
Watch you watching me, eyes
Fixed on mine, it has been too long
...

No delight in our secret,
Nor fear of what it will bring
Crashing around us,
Just feeling myself again
...

Keep seeing his silhouette standing over me,
Peering on from just past the loveseat,
Paranoid that he might catch me,
Read what is on my mind from over my shoulder.
...

Sent his thoughts in song, the words of another,
seems overwhelmed lately, emotions trying to drive
despite his historically calculated and well-planned intentions.
...

The uncertainty of our position had me giving up on love,
Accepting that I could be as lonely married as I am alone,
Wondering if the loneliness comes from within as I fear.
The loneliness is clearly not the only obstacle in my current
...
