His words ring out across the room,
such physical distance for intimate talk
and I, I recline and seem to hear, enmeshed and still with fierce dismay
I try but I cant hear the words he has to say
My eyes, them(not mine to control) run over/into His --- until they flee and flick away
then, down his strong neck and across strong shoulders
to puissant arms so taut with promise of his inescapable embrace
His face shines in my darkness, gives me light to see
to see the perfect trace of line on him, the perfect lay of meat to cover
my own stripped and weary bones
and I find myself imagining his flesh upon my own and that words were said to free my love from the oubliette it fell in so many years ago
Still my senses, still applied, feed my fantasy, the Lie, more and more and more and I-
I feel so sick now, all twisted up
inside, my hunger turns upon me now,
far too long denied
its eating me
please!
its teeth are ice
I wish I believed
in angels
or Christ
but I never dared for I prefer
the ice
to fire

Very nice, i like it very much.
I can see what you mean about my poem 'Cosmetic', we seem to have made the perfect juxtaposition.

Love the poem, powerful lines to say the least... your words gave me goose-bumps...

Some say it's better to have 10% of something than a 100% of nothing...
...But I'll only settle for a 100 thank you...
