The
Poetry Of Noah Champoux
Inamorata
I understood,
you said I should,
it's not money
that loves, honey.
I'm quite tangled,
my mouth mangled,
my arms strangled,
heart entangled,
you understand,
I want your hand,
though cannot see,
and ask, "why me?"
It's not my choice,
my inner voice
demands your soul,
else I'm not full.
Endless hunger,
yes, I'm younger,
and I lack thought,
and I'm just not
the guy you want,
as I am gaunt,
and nonchalant,
though I will jaunt
to pleasure you,
unequal to
the best you've had,
that love was bad,
the truth I'll show,
and then you'll know,
what we call love,
protective glove,
can be much more
than just a chore,
and it can soar,
divide a war,
enhance decor,
knee's on the floor
with ring in hand,
a wedding band,
the love you planned
dropped with time's sand,
though, I am here,
I will adhere
to every crime,
at any time,
as your lover,
or bed cover,
to keep you warm,
safe from the storm,
a hidden form,
sonata swarm,
a poet, trite,
who cannot write,
unlike you, dear,
my puppeteer,
who isn't trite,
knows how to write,
knows how to feel,
who, yes, can steal
me for her work,
I'll have a smirk,
anything said
unless I'm dead,
will be for you,
here is my clue,
just take me now,
on knees I bow.

Moons
As full moons orbit starless skies,
each one a separate entity,
the radiance distorts my eyes,
no longer one, there now are three,
I may not see what's really there,
now, loneliness leaves me alone,
and through my sight I see your eyes,
the only luminescence known.

Gatsby
Take me back, take me back,
black and white photographs,
a wet nose now dry,
one eye peeking, the other covered,
fourteen year constants no longer final,
a mark in ink erased with a pencil,
unused bed sheets twist faucet knobs,
our home a shadow of your life,
a burning scent clogged in your sinuses,
the dust remains from where I've been.

Raindrops
When clouds forget to float
and slowly walk the earth,
the air you breathe is moist
and sticks between your teeth,
your eyes begin to fail,
as air decreases sight,
your nose detects a rain,
depression wakes tonight.
