Mimi - Mona Poetry: Your Kiss

I protest.

Your lips are much to mobile

as they graze over mine; they’re

too warm and too hungry. My

shoulder rises, not with rejection

to the way your lips lay claim—

possessively, blatantly, tantalizingly—

but in defense of my sensibilities,

which I seem to lose as those twins

press that sensitive place under my

ear and onto nape as they seek a

favorable response, as they cause my

knees fold, making them unable to

hold me erect under your mouth’s

continued incendiary demonstration.

I demur.

It ‘s never been my experience

to lose control of my breath, not

until your mouth would accept

nothing but submission from

mine, until I accepted the promise

of a conflagration so intense

it would promise to consume me,

seize my lungs in a grasp of

desire beyond words, beyond thought,

beyond heaven. And when your tongue

found its sheath in my throat,

my world fell away, the room

ceased to exist, and there was

only us locked together in some

unrelenting drive to assuage a

passion suddenly more powerful

than the two of us.

My hands cavil.

Shocking me, they take purchase

of your cheeks to maintain our

mouths in bondage while I attempt

to rein in my desire; but, instead, I

lose what little clarity I’d retained.

Ensnared by the white heat of lust,

objections to your copious kisses,

which trail paths from shoulder to

bosom, transform to ash. I quell an

unhelpful, appreciative shiver.

Breathing...it’s now a secondary

consideration; what breath I

manage to draw comes from you.

All propriety is lost when your

onslaught continues; any will

to resist your predatory smile

is vanquished as you devote long moments

to showing me — to lay before me

a landscape of what is to come —

I respond, gasping into the kiss.

I let my reins go.

I am yours.

I surrender.

It was a horrible moment when I couldn’t breathe because I was crying too damn hard, couldn’t breathe because I heard something that broke my heart. It was one of those inexpressible moments when I wished I could scream, but I couldn’t because there were others in the house who would be awakened. It was one of those frightening moments when I could feel something was wrong and I knew it was coming and it was going to hurt when it finally hit me, but all I could do was stand there — paralyzed.

It’s never been part of my character to hang onto anyone too tightly or too long; I’ve been the one to walk away. So, I cannot guess why everything suddenly stopped, why you wanted me to feel it was necessary for you to stop all communication, to push me away, to make me wonder why you wanted me to feel like gum on the bottom of your shoe, (laughing—like some gumshoe covertly searching crowds for your voice). You are the one who said Go ahead; see if you can find me.

Not for validation would I love to hear that baritone utterance, but for the slightest hint of reassurance you still exist in spite of all lack of those calls you used to make when you couldn’t sleep, those texts when you were thinking of me, and especially those “pocket calls” your cell made when subconsciously your mind wanted me.

Not for your a dull voice when we did speak a few times, a voice that offered excuses like I’m tired, I’m too busy, I don’t feel well, and I have to go that would leave me unknowing how I should end the conversation and wondering what the hell just happened, but for a smile with a hint of interest and desire to share the way we used to share almost everything.

The icy crunch beneath your feet is your frosty heart; it has lost all warmth when it interfaces with mine... as though it’s forced into an unwanted connection. I have never been the type of person who is afraid to feel too deeply, to say too much, to let people know how much they mean to me. Knowing that expressing to you how special you were I made myself vulnerable, I was never afraid or ashamed of what I did or how I did it. I found something breathtakingly beautiful in those moments of honest sharing when the brick walls of soul protection were stripped away. I learned to draw people out by asking questions and never did anyone say to me, besides you, that I ask too many questions. Never did anyone ever tell me to shut up when I opened myself up boldly in love.

I am not some EBE* that will invade your space. I’m a human who desires to know you want me around...or not. I’m getting older and this being invisible to you and your friends is getting old. I never learned that ability to turn love off with a blink of the eyes, to stop all forms of communication, the trick of making someone invisible, to convert a lover to a friend, to someone who no longer in exists. You gave up someone who you tell others was nothing more than a friend; I lost someone I love.

Your betrayal stabbed me; grief engulfed my heart; the flames of sorrow charred my hope. I asked you if the fat lady had farted or had sung. You chuckled and said neither, she’s just tired. Does anyone ever get tired of picking up after you and your deceit, because I cannot see you picking up after yourself, after you have crushed someone like the way autumn leaves or puddles of thin ice are crushed beneath your feet. Our story never had an ending; you just stopped writing it. Well, without your loving words, I cannot finish the painting of us. The fat lady didn’t fart and she didn’t stop singing on her own. You killed her mid-aria and the opera stopped.

I’ll recover from the heartbreaking sadness of your walking out without a word of explanation, but never from your loss.

Mimi and Mona's Poetry: He Became Nails Down A Challkboard

She was the thief who watched his holy war

on long affairs and marriage long before she

stole his heart on the battleground,

a heart with a No-Return policy.

He might have held her one last time

the way a miner embraces his gold.

Never saying a word, he walked away,

and she lay there and bled.

Did he know he left her like a church left in ruin

until there was nothing left for her to feel,

her heart barely beating?

Did he think of her?

And him, with his crackling smile?

He was a match stick boyfriend,

a puppet with his sex afire

who made women feel disposable.

She had to know: Would his wood burn,

darken, and quickly turn black?

Would anyone treasure his torched remains?

She had to know because

he had infiltrated her clothes

like the smell from some dump or

that shameful shit river.

Her crown hadn’t slipped around her neck;

she warned him:

stay out of my garden—

unless he wanted what was hidden

under her reckless tongue.

No, you can’t lift my skirt and look under

it as though it is an AstroTurf rug, she cried;

she didn’t care he was trying to find his balls.

No, you can’t paddle your canoe into my

my tunnel of love to bury your

fertilized seed for it to burgeon.

She dusted off her dreams, 

the photos on the mantel and scattered around

the empty room, the bookcase with that

rule book for loving him.

She jumped off his sated, artistic tilt-awhirl,

but like the tonsils he’d lost, he forgot

that custom-made feeling of her love.

The question, then, was, how could he touch

another woman

with the hands that touched her

without telling that woman the truth?
