careless kisses
fumbled apologies
clumsy hands

parched lips
thighs craving
eyes wandering

she thinks your lips
drip liquid gold
words like
gilded treasures
meandering between
the soft curve of your shape
drinking your nectar
Persephone's tether to Hades

working her way
inside
she knows
it works

for when the gold
fades to ***** grey
your eyes
speak lies
yet your lips
beg me to stay

husk of the seed stale on my tongue
I do not move
El Jul 2018
I feel honeyed lies coat my tongue

And I lick my lips, hungry for more

Where is my guidance?

Where is my reward?

There is no saviour

Only salvation

But when the path crumbles with every heavy step

How can I see the light with your fluorescent haze burning my eyes?

— The End —
