In the night
I find myself
Insane, profane
Untame
As if bred
From flame

lX0st Nov 2018

Warm lips against cool glass
Subtle peach cheeks
Chestnut skin flushes
When you drink
Sly smile’s edges
Stretching toward
Molten amber eyes
Flashing that sparkle
That gets me
Every
Time

Cherry

Talk is cheap
But your lips were expensive
I might as well get
My money’s worth

Mon Chéri

Tell me I’m the moon,
Baby,
That I pull you in
That I’m only reflective
Of that shown upon me
That nothing warm
Will stay

Tell me, baby,
That you’re the stars
A vast, luminous galaxy
That your black satin backdrop
Won’t swallow me blind
And spit me out
Grey

lie to me

Imbalance

His transient touch
Taught me to love
Elusive hands embraced
Inverted beneath skin's layers,
A plastic pin point impression
That prickly sensation
Lasted for years
Hollowed hands turned every touch
Into white noise
Soft static buzzing eardrums
Burrowed deep beneath
Old memories, sneaking in
Through dopamine
Vibrating neurons numb
Until I can't sleep

Lucinda

She breathes fire
That tastes of the cremation
Of her forefathers
Their ashes grit
In her eyes, spit
In her hands
She marches
Atop marshland
Swallowing graves
Of their mothers
And lovers
Her thick, leather skin
Wicked and weathered
Wields weapons
Of resurrection
With commanding force
She breathes life
Into desolate plains
She breathes fire
And they rise
Again
