Nail me to the floor like a butterfly with your eyes. The hammer of your smile curving white.

Nail me to the floor with the thorns of your hands. Press your finger roses to my tongue.

Nail me to the floor with the blades of your words. A shiver shadow dug among your soil.

Nail me to the floor with the darkness of your song. Stony trees take root within my heart.

Nail me to the floor with the grace of your touch. Undo the heads and free me to your arms ...

Nail me to the floor like a butterfly in your eyes. My wings are torn and light up in your sun.

Would it be inapropriate to still insist that I'm not listening?

God, I love you and your amazingly disturbingly sexy words.

The loneliest words you'll ever know:
if only, if only it were so.

Sexy words, huh? Thanks, Lori. I think all creation (whether poetry, song, dance) is sexy. Even nihilist stuff!

I love you.

Love you too.

And if everything was sexy, more people would be nymphos.

Thanks to both of you. This poem, like me, is a bit on edge. Just a bit tired from helping my friend move large segments of his home from one apt. complex to another.

Great write, Mikey.

At first, I was thrown by your new style (in this piece), but, I ended up loving it!

Sincerely,
Titus

Devina, not a packer, just an achy, aching, ache-filled, ache-ish mover of sorts.

Titus, glad you enjoyed. Now gimme a brownie! Heh heh.
