Blue shirt
I can’t trust a boy like you.
Sectarian sympathiser,
driving brothers apart.
I see a glint in your eye
whenever I
lean in for the unanswered kiss
self-assuredness is your favourite
amuse bouche. Nice with a fine wine
tastes a little like shellfish.
Picpoul de Pinet
for a girl that’s hardy on the outside.
Just when I am starting to turn
purple on the lips
you breathe air into me
and hide again.
----------
Believe me,
there’s red in these veins
and flames in my lungs.
Your eyes
eye me up, river blue.
Chip fat and *** smoke
make out for a foul cloud but
girl, you’re the pearl of the night.
Your mouth is the glossy phone
I should answer,
wanting love on a tongue
like a pillow of wine.
When you grip my shirt,
expect to connect, I end up
pouring out puddles of nothing,
your lips apart like violets.

Explanation: A collaboration piece with fellow poet and friend Molly (https://hellopoetry.com/molly-5/). The first four verses of this poem are written by her, while the second four are written by myself. The poem deals with intimacy - one person wants it, the other is a little reluctant to give it. My piece is intended to reflect elements mentioned in Molly's piece. Feedback is very welcome and appreciated on this. The poem should also be found on Molly's own page. I recommend you check out her other work. A link to my Facebook writing page can be found on my HP home page.
NOTE: Many of my older pieces will be removed from HP at some point in the future.
