cherry lips

ive been spinning mysteries and fiction in my mind

from a spool of fabric weaved from an abundance of time

again i cook the cabbage,

dreadully see magic-

its clear that while i had it, its become no longer mine

 

~sigh~

 

stuck in static, weekdays bacchic, simply

smell the acid a second before you pass it

these back rooms start to blend

but eyes adjust

you start to see her in the dark

she has seen you, undeniably

she is the temptress with cherry lips,

a heart harder than bitten cherry pits

remember how hard she bit your lip?

remember the scar you flirt with?

 

your tongue knows that groove well

 

you think of her

you do not want to

so you think of her

 

the dreams, not really dreams,

poor attempts to sedate seduction

you give your nights to Hypnos,

still

your mind sleeps with those

cherry lips, from the moment

they loved you

the mark of sin

of life
