Escape this amnesia.

Coral evening sky casting a warm glow, in this lightening claimed dusky sky

Your shy smile bursting into a fit of giggles as I tickle you, my fingertips pressed to your belly, lingering

Starry eyes mirroring this evident desire,

                                                                     A melancholy lullaby crackling into a fire laced ballad

My lips meet yours, and here we are lost in this fragile moment, like a flitting darting bird

Savoring it, tongues dancing across the shorelines of my molars, like this is the first and the last time

You pull the curtain, unbuttoning, yanking the shirt off my body; solace is your only quest

Your lips licking my earlobe, whispering verses of ******* addicted musicians, but you prefer ecstasy

Your fingers tracing the raven tattooed on the nape of neck, trailing down needy kisses along my spine

Your trying to blur it all out, I’m trying to save you darling, from yourself,

                                                               I need this too more than you know, but I love you more

Disasters have a tendency to reside in your ribs for a longtime, striking often-

                 Causing violent tremors

                   Leading to noxious EARTHQUAKES.

Your cat stopped breathing 6 months ago, she had punctured her lungs

I remember you screaming, trashing all the memories so that it stops hurting,you repressed it all.

You loved that furry little brat more than you hate fate.

Your grandfather expired last month, his led zeppelin, bon jovi records drown in loneliness now

Wrinkly smiles told stories of cosmos, aliens, he was a crazy man. The best nonetheless.

Chemotherapy drained out all the money and smiles, leaving your brittle heart suffering from paroxysm.

When he died, you kept shouting for hours straight, they had to sedate you.  You blanked out.                 I know you are sinking in the abyss of hopelessness and you’re trying to escape, escape this AMNESIA,

                                                                                                                                  that is running after you.

But love, let me in, I know you’re afraid, but I vow, I’ll prove to be sempiternal.

And I swear I’ll be there cupping these rare innocent moments and preserving, holding you close, kissing you even when the rainfall doesn’t seem to stop.
