Soul At War
Though you have scars Though you have wrinkles You are so beautiful Though you live in doubt Though you speak in violence You are so brilliant Though you hurt yourself Though you sell yourself You are so lovely Though walk in darkness Though you dream in pain You are so flawless I will love you everywhere. ~Jacob Reinhardt, 20/1/2019
Head Over Heels
Head over heels, I fell in love With a pothole. Twirling through the air in total weightlessness, Spinning out of control, skateboard watching from the sidelines Until Crack! Head first onto the pavement. And my whole world Shatters. Mind to tattered Remnants of Question Marks along my back and neck. Spackled lights glittering Images fluttering, color Ricocheting through my brain Thought stained. And suddenly, 1 plus 1 equals sidewalk. A minute saunters by And 2 black eyes peel open To a faint outline of curves. A polka dotted yellow dress, Brunette hair falling beside her shoulders, Green blue eyes set aflame: There were galaxies inside her. And in that timeless moment, Gravity ceased to exist, Golden leaves hung in midair, Suspended rays of orange sunlight stood, motionless Framed by the blossom of clouds in the background. And she stared into me with a mixture Of concern and compassion. And in that timeless moment, I thanked the pavement, I thanked the pothole, I thanked the lump bulging from my head. And as sight turned to black, And gravity flipped it's switch I passed backwards into a state of pure bliss. 7/11/2015 Jacob Reinhardt
A Departing Soldier
I know you. Candles lit, incense fuming, You like it when I bite your neck, just hard enough. Blankets thrown about the room So recklessly, they refold themselves. And we roll down a hill together, Kissing the leaves, tickling with our eyes, Laughing with our hearts. "Once you get on that plane, You're not coming back, are you?" "No," I say. Because only Nothing Lasts forever. And it spills through the cracks in your hands The moment you grasp it. Like water from a stone. She bites my neck, Drawing lines of ecstasy down my back With her fingernails Spilling into me, fighting my words. "I leave when the sun sets."

For You I Persist
Nothing keeps me from you.. Besides perhaps 5142 miles And a string of moments Quietly ticking away in my clock. For you, I persist. Soon, the space between us will cease and we will be one. And an ocean of yearning and imagining and craving will at once evaporate and transform.. Into skies of multi-colored fireworks, finger-painting the canvas’ of our hearts, Into a galaxy of grace waltzing at the intersection of our lips, Into an atomic eruption of irresistible feeling, bursting forth from our inevitable touch.. and at last, we will realize what all this waiting was for. ~Jacob Reinhardt 3/7/2022
