Believe in You -JoProgo
our bliss
If I had to state
Reasons why, knowing you
Is bliss, I could not.
I would not name things,
Simply, or on command,
Yet I understand,
The importance of a gesture.
Ultimately it’s the way our flesh
Bumps, pockets and rolls
Dancing together in bed.
Whilst we whisper, or giggle
Talking about a current injustices
Or we find romance in
Smashing the patriarchy.
Our love is woven in those remarks.
For me – It is
Getting easier to distinguish
The verticality of this relationship,
Sometimes a ride, which I never want
To end, or worse yet a ride whose
Turbulence unmatched,
Unpredicted, chaotic and leaves me
Breathless, trying
To understand what happened?
I think that what’s happened is, ya know
Those couple years ago – standing in
Doorframes. Unknown bodies pressed
Against one another and not one
Person could quell those fireworks.
They never stop lighting up the sky
Even on our darkest days.
And I know there have been
More than a few of those, but crammed in
Spaces are moments of collaboration
The fine-toothed comb we use
Over our words dissecting a dream,
A nightmare, a quote, the brushstroke
My hand made on a day
When my person was
reacting boldly.
Like the times I find you
After a spell of silence, where
I have retreated into the dusty
Crevices of my solace.
Honey, you always get to calm
Me in those saces. Honey, you
Are the best company – the best
Face to wake up to, after
A long, sleepy silence.
Your soft lips and the crook
Of your nose
Of your chin –
Nuzzling their way
Around my face as you plant kisses.
Sometimes I squeal in delight
By the force behind them
Or it’s the lack of force and the tickle
Of two soft coconut bathed skins
Landing on one another for a second.
I know there are days, when I dream
Of walking away, but I guess, it’s always
In my mind to come back to you.
To carry the stories and experiences back
To you. My most trusted confidant.
The longer we chart time together, the
More important you become.
I know that I’ve had people, in the past
But none has ever been you.
So when I falter, and fall into silence
And forget to kiss you goodnight
Or feel defiant and deny you, it’s in a
Heavy in my mind to get back there
And right those wrongs.
Where you are
Always on my mind,
No matter the state of it.
I love you endless, sharing thoughts, bouncing
Ideas around my brain, always anxious
To share them with you.
It’s hard to draw specific romanticisms
Or a heart around an “A” + “J” in all
My notebooks, as I did in my youth.
But what resonates deeply is
Knowing that either morning or night
With an arm slung around me
Your eyeball will peek out from
The corner of your face igniting
Squeals of laughter that I never
Want to suppress.
