1 Hand

If I were 2 grab you by 1 hand,
Would you grant me the satisfaction of knowing that I am that man?
Am I the 1 to get to grips with that soft texture first?
Or are you deceivingly but amiably ambidextrous?
You assured me that, that hand belonged to me and only me,
Ignorance, arrogance: A fool 1 must be,

An example of ambidexterity like you, becomes universally luscious,
A smooth brown without tampering, with the long natural locks of a Libyan,
However you are doubled edged! Ambiguous as an amphibian,
Living two lives: above and below,
Am I playing the unsuspecting? above the water flow,
Do you have another that gives you different?
Wet and Wild, while I’ve become dry and consistent,
Land against Water, Left against Right,
My Love! You unintelligibly utilise both,
Separating only by day and night.

I wonder when we court and I escort you out, holding the 1 hand,
Is this a repetition spinning uncontrolled, such as the wings of 1 fan?
Am I the only 1 spreading you? Or is this largely unconscious such an albatross spreading its span?
Are we viewing entertainment that you have before?
You jump before it occurs, whilst I await the eyesore,
This has become asunder, invoking in me something uncomfortable,
I want the other hand, but you cover it as if it were something formidable.

I have only ever held the 1, but never 2.
It would seem this is how you separate. DO YOU?
I have become the loved up and all-giving fool,
Whilst you have rested your tail on a 2 legged stool.

Was I the only 1?
Not unless 1 is doubled against 2 in a sum,
YOU WERE THE ONLY 1!

  1. This is my favourite, I actually love this poem! I can feel where you are coming from completely from both perspectives, even though it's written from yours I can definately relate to the female side on this...I love your style of writing

  3. Inspire
    Smiling
    Feeling invincible and directed
    Wanting more and more and more
    Embracing your essence
    It's caressing, seeping into every pore

    Inhaling deeply, chest full to burst
    Adrenaline coursing, feel I’ll finish first
    Convinced I’m invincible, ready to take on this earth
    Passion as red as rubies, direction more than rubies worth

    Your energy is cosmic, electric, magnetic
    I am pulled to you, drawn closer
    Each heart beat reverberates, strong and rhythmic
    Potential of hearts combined explosive, cataclysmic

    Dreams are envious of reality, pure fantasy and frolics
    Not feeling or hearing symptoms of alcoholics
    Sobriety of consciousness allows the stomach to flutter
    The slightest brush of your 1hand and I would melt like butter.
