Gordon D Wilkinson Poems

Sucked bone dry by love
Slapped in the face by its iron glove
Living in this empty desert scene
Colourless, just give me shades of green
...

Embracing loves fingers
Electricity lingers
Sparks flying
There is no denying
...

Each time when we meet
This heart of mine skips a beat
When we touch
Electricity stuns my brain
...

Accept your skin mixes with mine
Skins blended like exquisite wine
Two drops of colour
Stretching to overcome
...

Without warning like an earthquake
Love arrived and my heart did shake
Like the whirlwind rips across the land
My soul ripped from me unplanned
...

I got so high from ecstasy its true
It was not from a pill
It was really from you
You take me so high
...

Once into a million pieces battered
This heart fragile was completely shattered
Broken into tiny shards like glass
Piled up this bloodied tangled mass
...

Save me from this infernal pain
Bloody clots running in the vein
Warfarin an anticoagulant thins out the blood
Circulating easier its understood
...

Thinking about your body close to mine
Remembering back to a different time
Days when we were young lovers new
My first, the same for you
...

Ever since the umbilical cord was first severed
First gasps of oxygen inhaled and expelled
New birth, new life rises to growth
Death started its vigil
...
