Steven Aragon Poems

We're best in the rain when our bodies have something to do.
Our arms might brush up against each other,
and we'll pull away.
Eventually, we just let them stay.
...

In the dark, when its just us,
We feel safe.
The day's cares are left on the floor with our tshirts and shorts.
And our hearts unfurl and lay open for the other to enter.
...

Have you ever heard a poet write out loud?
Its words and phrases that dont make sense until they do.
Its kinda like my loving you
Its hard for others to understand or get.
...

My muse has smelly feet
A smell that can keep a good horse down
Perhaps fell an attic's demons
But we just laugh and he turns a little pink
...

I hate when you disappoint me.
Its a let down.
I feel it in my chest and shoulders.
A weight that won't let me look up or forward.
...

Mon ami learn to eat slowly.
Meals in the shack by the sea will be lazy.
The salty smell of the water below,
And the pinon burning in the woodstove will feed us until the buttery pancakes are done.
...

Come lay down by me as I read and write.
Rest your weary body.
Relax as I read out loud the tales I create from dreams.
Put your hand on my belly and close your eyes.
...

Time is not so rigid with us
It meanders when we see each other
Perhaps seeing something we cant discern.
It doesn't matter to me
...
