My heart is on a platter in this large expanse of banquet hall strewn, festooned with banners on the time-stained, whitewashed walls
My heart is on a platter ****** beats so red contrasting the bright-white tablecloth so elegantly spread
It sits and claims its place as its pulses fill up the room and the cutlery shakes, reverberates from its understated swoon
Napkins folded so neatly Best china laid out fine it oozes through the arteries in crystal glasses meant for wine
One wonders, as one gazes upon the forks and spoons and knives laid out in rows so properly… Just when will they arrive? And when they do, those honored guests will they be shocked to see this beating, pulsating mass that pumps out feeling in endless, reaching streams
Like a delicately-cooked animal, exposed with flesh so raw this ***** keeps on throbbing whetting saliva in the jaw No apple stuffed in mouth no need for garnish or temptation the heat's already there even in this subtle transformation It's so slight, the change perhaps obvious a bit bizarre but despite themselves my eyes are drawn, in wonder, to the stars
My heart is on a platter almost cut in slices paper-thin now all that's left to do is check where one of us ends and one begins Just take a slice place it on your tongue and let it melt within Let it enter softly your bloodstream let it boil, let it soothe no one can be one's everything but the soul's frequencies might groove
My heart was on a platter in this banquet of desire but, to everyone's amazement it has turned to flames of fire it billows up to the ceiling sizzles like a steak and even though I am reeling I hold my ground, won't break
See, I don't care what they think those diners with wagging tongues and fetid minds I grab your hand and we run to the coolness of the pines Looking back, we see heartsmoke rising up into the sky in the colors of the northern lights blinking in beats like an ancient, mystic eye
And as you place your hand upon my chest where this heart was once submerged I so do not give one flying **** when dinner will be served
Yeah. Well. Vulnerability with some ability not to care what others think ;)
