Diamonds and rust.
Ash to ash
dust to dust.
Myself, I no longer trust.
Our vows collapse
into smoke,
and I inhale your absence.
Where angels caress
the devil’s face,
I tasted you~
soft and jagged,
mercy bleeding into sin.
Leather, soft and black.
Silken, white lace.
Pleasure and pain fall
into place
braided from the same twine.
Whispering your name
I call you;
the wind shouts back.
Your shadow lingers
in every heartbeat,
every stolen breath,
every echo
of a touch
that consumes me
and left me wanting more.
Even rust remembers
it once held weight
and fire, never forgets
how to scorch
