CHILDISH NOTIONS
Abandoned tidal pool
Shimmering melancholy
Moonlit desolation
Gravity draws me inward
Exploration of a lonely man-child
It wears me out at times
Strength slowly wanes
In the fierce battle of opposing will
Dreams of her
Stem from gnawing need
Selfish
Possibly
Forgive my childish notions
Poignant lachrymose
Killing me in drone increments
One candlelit memory at a time
Filled with intense anticipation
Her ambrosial taste
Soft supple skin
Enchanting redolence
Gentle throaty sounds
As she slumbers by my side
Hypothetical endurance
Survival
An acquired proficiency
In the relentless raw aggression
Heartaches serrated barrage
