intensely burning hot behind iron gates.
Me, the me that wishes to be heard screams
out, or would.  I, the I to connect the dots
between  me and who I found.

Can you surf the emotional wave?
Or will you drown in the depth
Of what I can’t yet say?

A fire that burns too hot.
The smoke gets in your face
and makes you cry and cough;
sputter on; ashamed,
nervous, wanting, confused
at an imaginary problem that isn’t you.

The answer is hold me.
Let me believe.
Let me know that you
want my intensity.

Tick – My nerves click.
Tock – My eyes rock
back and forth
from keys to clock.

Tick – Not yet, I sit.
Tock – My heart a lock
of bundled feelings
jumping in my throat.

Tick – What if?
Tock – Maybe
I pissed her off.
I sure hope not!

Tick – Stop thinking.
Tock – Stop imagining.
I’m starting
to really hate this clock!

words sit
like bricks
with your name,
a thick weight
dragging thought
to you.
I don’t speak
the dreams
my tongue seeks
to scream.

On the tip of my tongue
would be,
could be,
if need
I should say
what I pray
were real,
instead of fantasy.

To touch lips to lips
(both high and low)
caress so slow
from thighs to hips.
Fingers,
eyes,
linger
nigh your heart
until it starts
away at the drama of parting.

On the tip of my tongue,
but still unsung
words wither,
fantasy dithers.
Too elusive,
a shadow reclusive
I chase with the murmuring
slumbering, senseless
tip of my tongue.

Sharing me to u would push the brink
Of terror in my cloistered soul,
But it will until worms come slowly.

I choke.  True words stop my quick thumbs
Pressing buttons to my heart, dumb
txt in the dark. What do u want?
Not from u, not that hurt, I can’t.

U crush sweet dreams and bitter hope.
I have nothing but a black hole
Sucking my face to godless breath
Without meaning, no hope in death.

Way too intense. Too hot.  Too fast.
But don’t calm down, it won’t last.
Sliced like fingers cutting onions,
Only tears stay with rejection.

Don’t u get it? My greed calls.
“U”, it screams at me. I need all,
Each drop of your soul shaken,
Stirred by my words I can’t say.

Tolman http://www.darnuthkeep.com/2011/02/27/cybersearch-a-sonnet-by-kelly-d-tolman/ http://www.darnuthkeep.com/2011/02/27/cybersearch-a-sonnet-by-kelly-d-tolman/#comments Sun, 27 Feb 2011 15:40:33 +0000 admin http://www.darnuthkeep.com/?p=921 A world of people, a world where you
Are invisible and intangible;
Where my eyes scan bits, bytes, pixels for truth
Of your beauty unimaginable.
An idea, sturdy as hot shifting sands,
That has ricocheted from cerebellum 
To cerebrum; that forces heart and hands,
And pushes passions silly momentum.
Do you exist at the end of these bits?
Are you a bot? A not? A deceiver?
Time, that merciless maddening mistress
Will make me a cynic or believer.
When love is lost with the click of a key,
Think kindly, twice, before deleting me.
