My dear, be aware.
That derriere
can cause a desire-filled delirium.

You are love,
the velvety blackness of my saturnine nights.
You are poetry,
the avalanche of pearls on my silken soul.
You are you,
and by that virtue, me.

Kiss me in the cruel beating wind,
your rubatosis against mine,
after I feel our opia.
Make me invincible to everything
except you.
rubatosis: n. the unsettling awareness of your own heartbeat, whose tenuous muscular throbbing feels less like a metronome than a nervous ditty your heart is tapping to itself, the kind that people compulsively hum or sing while walking in complete darkness, as if to casually remind the outside world, I’m here, I’m here, I’m here.

opia: n. the ambiguous intensity of looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable—their pupils glittering, bottomless and opaque—as if you were peering through a hole in the door of a house, able to tell that there’s someone standing there, but unable to tell if you’re looking in or looking out.

I writhe and wither on the first day,
at the suddenness of your absence,
and bloom over the next,
with my thoughts on you.
aurpera Feb 2014
The heart felt a certain,
stealthy beauty,
that slipped away,
in my deep slumber.

I will hurt you politely,
and I will hurt you hard.

Who said I got hurt?
Maybe I saw it coming.
Maybe I saved myself.
