PUT
OUT
URE
LITE
stop trying to guide me
this journey
i have chosen
is mine
alone
u tempt me
w/ security
longevity
immunity
from having to be
me
but my love
is not
a savings bond
don’t lock me up
safe & tite
away from myself
& the nite
& all the possiblities
that await me
ure hypnotic suggestions
feed my obsessions
into believing this was the greatest time
i
never
had
becuz
the moonlite beckons me
the starlite harkens me
back to that
place where i abandoned myself
for u
NOW
I
CHOOSE
to drown myself
in deeper eyes
to seek the unknowable
beyond the skies
this thirst
this hunger
will not subside
with the quiet stains
u leave on ure pillow
at nite
I WANT TO TASTE THE WORLD
& listen to it sigh
to be held
adored
caressed
undressed
w/ no further warranty
no fraudulent guarantee
come the morning
that anything
will last forever
a
kiss
is
still
a
kiss
shared at midnite
revered by dawn
w/ no promises
no longings
no compromises
to share a lifetime
trapped
in
someone else's shadow
i’m not looking for
”forevers”
& his picture in my
locket
i
promise
nothing
&
look forward to the
”moments”
& polaroids in my
back pocket
