Scream in my ear to silence my head

As it floats through the ecstasy of your hand

And dances in the waters of your cruel heart

Where destiny is a word meant for those who feel

The noose tightening

As toes flirt with ground

Like a dancer on point gliding through a shadowy veil

Concealing that which destiny hides from

A dancer whose mere posture dictates the weeping truth

You always knew, didn’t you?
Even when it was just a smudge on the paper,

You knew.

Lingering breaths exchanged ignored,
Keeping supple lips friendly.

And when the crisp night blends with the gore of morning,
Poets trade poetry for coffee with jokes and two sugars.
And while her name lies sensually between your teeth,

Your transparent blindness engulfs the table.

For you know, i know, you know that I’ll be here tomorrow.

You used to consume my every thought,
Now I’m begging you to stay.
To weave yourself into the cortex of my mind,
And allow me to keep a little misery in the pocket of my chest,
Burned images of familiar hands upon my breast.

While the grass grows between my fingers,
Time reminds me we have grown up.
But how I wish to lay there and breathe in our youthful scents,
How I wish the memories were enough.
