we talked silently
& without repose
under the blood red sun
of our sunken desire
my eroding heart
beating with each breath.

& laughter - falling out of love
& time

i clench every word in my mouth
red and seething
down my face

i can't find an excuse

breaking the silence
of the hyacinthic beauty
its pristine value charged
and buzzing at my
hip

Very raw emotion and passion is portrayed here; I applaud you for that. "i clench every word in my mouth" is an amazing line to use. The only thing I would say is to keep 'hip' on the same line as 'and buzzing at my'. Other than that, well done!
