Between here and there
Between us, now and then
Invisible walls of life exists
Our hearts beat in harmony
Tangled in the distant dreams
Draped in your intoxication
My favourite nightmare.
Julia Aubrey Jul 2016
Maybe, we were too caramelized.

Yes, that's right, too caramelized, too sweet, too cozy and warm, slowly oozing against the fire we were leaning on, feeding off of each others sugar, each others, well, sweet tooth.

There is a reason you mom tells you not to eat too much candy on Halloween or not to eat that last cookie in the jar, and it is because she knows how much you will want more. She knows how hard it is to stop once you have already gotten that sweet craving on your lips.

But, still you eat, and you indulge in these phantasmagoric forms of sugar... and even though she warned you, you are left sitting with you teeth rotten out with an ache like no other.

Rain falls quietly

The piano fades away

It's my kind of day

Sublime, subtle, soft.
When I saw your body for the first time,
I realised how you were never fine,
I saw how many battles you fought,

On your arms,
Your thighs,
Your sides,
Your lovely sides.

And I loved you more for every single mark that you felt burdened your beautiful body,

The perfection in your skin complexion and the paleness of you, only made me want to hold you closer to warm you.

And let nothing harm you, not anything, not even yourself.

Never again.
I am sorry
That I was hungry and you were weak

I was insatiable
What I had was not enough
And you were there
Irresistible
Sweet and perfumed
As coy and cloying as candyfloss
I had to consume you
And throw away the paper stick
Damp from my tongue
I wrote this poem in less than a minute as an exercise about writing from the perspective of someone whose viewpoint you disagree with but empathise with.

The Windows shivered
My frosted bitten lips quivered
By the nightly glow
Of the lonely stars wandering below
And as I sit and ponder
My open mouth wanders
Closes gently and sealed with a whisper of reminiscence

I sit, listening
The urban wetland glistening
Marshy lush - hidden by nighttime brush
The crooked smile widened as I sit with an open mouth of optimistic love
Watching the city through your window

Such warmth do i feel
soft skin on mine
feeling together
our glow sublime
your taste so sweet
so gently divine
your body a heaven
just like mine.
