How is it
you are always
in front,
of my gaze,

even when
my eyes
are clinched
shut.


Why is it
when I look
into your eyes,
I can’t
look away.

Your eyes of smoke,
and distance,

godly favors,

the dropped space,
lacerated time,

a wandering horse,
the tattered web,

of broken lace.

Our time is fugitive
like footprints,
in rainy mud

like sadness,
from your eyes,
kissed onto my skin
nursing upon

fruit,

and waves.

The loudest sound
I never heard
was the scream
from your undressed

eyes,

as they swallowed
my virility,
and raped,

my passion.

Feeding on
vibrant flowers.
I devoured,

the skin
of your earth,

your waterfall,

drowning me in petals,
dripping
onto the sky,

drops of silence
falling,

like grains of rain
crying into the lost,

eyes falling back,
a soft multitude,
a seasoned wave,

the stark saliva,
of the half bitten
moan.

Lay with me,

the me in come,
the thru in thrust,
the you in youth,
the us,

in trust.

Let our hearts gather
twigs of future,
and build a fire of
memory,

and unanswered,
consummations.

We are the buried,
the misplaced,

a silk solitude,

of roots,
a fiery frost,
the bend of ecstasies

the winding night,
that lost its,

shoes.

I have no name,
I have no, shame

you are my wind.

And the soul
of our, sky

weeps, forlorn.

You're so right Linda, I could see where my writing would make someone's stomach ready to retch, and reading them at night, you'll be bored asleep before you finish the first line.

Thanks Hon, you're the best!!
