Poem For Beverly

1.
i sit down next to her
& our toes begin a love dance

i think
how beautiful
her dark smile
her brown skin
& i touch her arms
          her belly
our legs touch
& i realize i
want to see my white hand
  on her dark breasts
  and i cant do it

i try but my eyes
disappear
& all i can see
is beverly, beverly
tired & laying next to me

i get very confused
i dont really want to do
anything but be next to her

my hand touching
the small of her back

i cant do anything
except think love thoughts
to her & flash lights in my
head & wonder if she can
hear me loving her

2
in the 9 dimensional
collapseable universe
waiting for some one to
do it

i ask her what
she really wants

she knows!

she wants security

& i am so old and silly
in my need
i tell her the truth

    It seems to be a 'love' poem with consequences and he lays them all there and though it seems not directly to her but directly to him, the accomplishment still stands erect.

    I feel this is lovely, with all sentiment and regret.

    A good piece that Levy has written here.
