there is something truly
enticing, about the curve
of  back, as you sit
on the edge of the bed,

lost in that moment between
being  abed and rising
that delay, whilst you decide
yay or nay, to the day.

there is a challenge in the
***** of shoulders
and the swell of good eating
that rests upon your hips

that makes me want leap into action
and draw you back
from the edgeof mundanity,
of everyday routine
and ravage you silly,
make you howl
and make you moan..

i want to taste your sleep drenched skin
and feast upon the energy kept quiet
i want wake you, make your open eyes
make your pupils dilate,
as i drink the night out of the depths of you...

but I am to slow, in my langour
i have lost the moment,
you stand and stride off
into the day
i turn and lay on my side
hoping the sun will leach
the frustration from my being

And so although shallow
The breathing
Continues
Daylight in full view
Compassed about
By unfriendlies
I sojourn as a statue
Frozen they look for me .............
Relentless...........
I begin to care.......
Less
And so i go
Under the cover of comedy
Stealhfully i follow
I mirror whats around me
Gravity
Forces me deep into the muck
Each step slow so straining
I tremble at the edgeof collapsing
As i humbly abode in my own shadow
My regrets trying to eat me
I cant retreat and hide within me my walls are so thin
People are beginning to see the real me

— The End —
