Still
Eliana Liss Jul 2012
I still taste your sweat on my lips
I still feel your soft skin on my palms
I still smell your scent on the sheets I once slept in
I still hear your sharp words cutting through my ears
I still see your ice cold eyes looking back into mine

I still taste your mouth against mine
I still feel your coarse hair in my fists
I still smell your sleeping body beneath my cheek
I still hear your heart beating into my head
I still see your ice cold eyes looking back into mine

You Will Always Be My Lover
Eliana Liss Apr 2012
Your breath stings at the back of my neck like the
Brisk winter chill of snowy nights in Ithaca. I’m
Enthralled by the softness of your still naked body
Emitting heat upon the depths of my soul. The ice
Evaporates as we fall through the sky and my only
Chance for survival throbs through your essence and
Into mine. Complete me with your silence and keep me
Here running thick through your blood. Don’t let go
Until sunlight peers through the glass and a new day
Awakens our sleeping lust. Then forget me again
Till the timing is right as i wait in my fortress for
The kiss of your soul coming to greet me once more
I won’t let my heart believe that I’m simply your w*ore
For the princess inside me deserves so much more
Than your ice cold invitations welcoming me to war
I can never win, for I cannot let go
Whether we carry on as friends or foes,
You will always be my lover.

The One Who Got Away
Eliana Liss Apr 2012
An enchanting silhouette shimmers in the distance
She possesses a beauty so deep that it penetrates your
Soul; Sends shivers up your spine and suddenly
You are short of breath, but your eyes can’t stop
Catching glimpses of soft skin across the way

Her eyes catch yours racing over her body. Your
Heart stops. She looks away again, but
Extracting your fixed gaze is nearly impossible
She has put you in a trance without saying a word

And then she moves; Feet dance across the floor
All you can focus on is the shape of her
Body moving closer as you smell sweet revenge
Seeping from her pores. Your heart races, and your palms,
They sweat. You taste her as she glides past you
Eyes following, your head turns in tune with her body
You are numb. Can’t move. But, mustn’t let her get away.

Her energy lifts you up from your chair as you run,
Run as fast as you can after this creature from above
But you cannot catch up. She slips fast away with the
Wind. She is gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. Gone.

Your body hits the wet ground. And you are left sobbing
Like a child who has lost his dear mother. You lay

Wishing you had stopped her as she walked past you
Wishing you had gotten up to follow her a second sooner
Wishing you were fast enough to capture her heart

But you were too enthralled to picture yourself with her
For you believed you were not worthy. Yet, she will forever
Rest in the back of your mind, as the divine woman who
Penetrated your soul, and walked away with your dignity.

— The End —
