Oh you want to catch my hair,
pull me near,
mutter polite indecencies,
and want me to quench a moment
of empty pushing out
the part of you... you call full.
I may blow stardust in your eyes,
move a moment like Salome,
and lick my lips to catch your eye-
but we both know the dancing truth.
You have no wish to touch this skin,
I am simply the moment's portal
and you'd sooner have me
without the heart-
a Fench version of the Stepford wife
once the priests finished their job.
And I will not have you
in the messy of my life,
so we both know that when you reach
all you will touch is the cobweb of a dream.
You cannot be my lover-
and all I am to you
is the Slip Away Woman
you wanted for an instant
in a lifetime of wanting.

Damn DeaDi, I think this is wonderful, in that darkish longing wistful way that you have.

Missed your writes, glad you're back

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

Fench, or French? I love how you turn lust back in on itself, wondering where the love is and finding only disgust. Your poems are like little novels.

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?
