I Didn't Know You Well.

~0~




you passed in silence
barely did I feel your presence  
so I mourn what I never really felt
my words become a tombstone
to your pitiful demise

spiral affection

I-my pretty words for you -

liquid lips; round s w o l l e n lovers lies
      limp limbs
               words that rapture
leaking me into the creases of you
             fearful of compromise
surrender my
           thorns
I lay them to side
             gilded messiah
in-caged in your lusts
        refusal to see deeply into the r a v i n e  
chastened but unaware  
       

je t'aime

I can lay inside your eyes, sleep contently.
Lay folded within your ears, plucking waves like peaches
from a metaphorical tree.

If love were as fallen petals from dying flowers,
I'd be scattered across the remnants of my darker me ...

You make me tread the light and think of letters drowned in passion,
ink black as night, vivid on the white sheet beneath its writhing form ...
sweet emotional collapse.

I've always said I'd whisper you sweet cushy shit ...
Words that strip me naked before you, humbled.

So I have.
