Lost Pages

Into the bubbling blue bath of my bliss

my body breaks free of all bounds;

enchanted melodies cavort across my tongue,

unchained continents of merriment.

Shooting stars; cool satisfaction coats me completely.

I have lost all curiosity for torture technique,

while this melody bounces across the cosmos.

My imperfect lovely: Perfectly fractured,

all my shattered pieces fit your holes,

and even now, I glue pieces of you into the slots they fit.

 

A singular petal glistening with dew,

Deep crimsom; long stemmed tulip.

Black eyes, its stamen. Shedded insight,

I lowered my body before you, as offering.

How will you devour this dream of desire?

It is a feast to be consumed, in small bites,

and copious servings of seconds.

Do not allow this flower to fade,

it may save you from yourself.

 

Blessings bestowed before bedtime

often fade away by dawn,

give thanks for the present,

draw strength from the past,

take heart, what is meant to be

will always last...

in the end.
