we were in different rooms more often
than together in anymore places
folding our envelopes with elbows
wondering if the mail would come
on our own special holidays

kicking the music into mouths
of old style smiles
the kind from next door windows
we had seen fast moving
but seldom from stop signs

we wore each others skins like shirts
with tattoos on the sleeves
rolled up to maintain originality
but we knew what was there inside
each others secret finger folds

like it was our own saliva we tasted
when licking our thumbs to turn pages
hoping the books would never end
or get boring enough to close
even though we knew the endings

like yesterday's horse race videos

Deep and mysterious as always  Love the lines "we wore each others skins like shirts
with tattoos on the sleeves
rolled up to maintain originality
but we knew what was there inside
each others secret finger folds"  I could relate and they seemed so quintesentially you.  Thanks for the pleasure

Alwaya a pleasure to read you D.  
That stanza was my favorite but

Oh, dear D., there is something about "feet on glass" and "boredom" that makes me feel slightly uneasy ... there is a touch of melancholy in this one. "Endings" should never be considered, but then we do fear them, even when we are at the peak of joy, we can never completely ignore the endings ... good to know there will always be new beginnings! ... as well as new books to be enjoyed!  

POET, I love to read you.

Love,
Margherita

hmmmmm

and

ummmmmm

It doesn't hurt that I'm listening to
Rod Stewart's Stardust album, does it?

and that it's raining outside?

and that I see fog on the windows?

This one makes me feel kind of sad Mr. Daark… In a reminiscent sort of way. Beautiful as always…

Maybe my melancholy mood is floating over your poem - but it made me cry.
