somebody's dungeon

0 posted 2004-07-09 12:30 PM



The day was filled
with the bitter scent
of too much smoke
mixed with the heavy
laden upon feel
of your hurt.


The leaving was hard;
the return inevitable
the pain expected.


It creeps up on me
covering me with a fog

   of memories

your eyes, your face
your breath, wet heat
upon my lips, just before
the coupling of soft flesh
       began

back then, back then
when we were in love
and death wasn't sharing my bed.

Oy.  Ouch.  Painful.  Well expressed.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
