Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2004-05-14 04:53 PM


you were always such a messy creature,  
dancing a halo around my cage
spun of lucid and the tangible evaded our lullabies
where we strewn ourselves peacefully, I dwelt
within this wineglass, and you mouthed
a word
or maybe two, broken apart as your tongue lifted
a despairity of hope until it could taste
my chardonnay
I fed it by the fingerful
in exchange for delicacies from a foreign place
in possessive shades of white and silver, my lips
abhorred and tantalized your spices
in linens unmarred by the liquid I sing
you brought me heaven in shades of blackberry skin
the juice stained deeply, my wrists never healed
and the scars of ebony, they spread
in between us
like eternity imbues without color
a fragily sated interim.

If I were to touch you, would you bleed a velvet river, running miracles through the sodden ground? --Moi
