the smell of my
morning waffle
has brought ure smile
wafting
around me
browned
&
warm
i recall ure form
in my strawberries & cream
fresh
&
pink
i like to think
u remember me
too
somewhere under that
syrupy ooze
u used to drizzle
onto my lips
i sip
a recollection of u
brewed
hot
trying not to drink
too quickly
i am wholly
forgiving
all those misgivings
u had of me
finally
the intensity
has subsided
& i am guided
into tranquility
the ability
to ponder u
without pain
i maintain the same position
that fact
is stranger than
fiction
becuz
i still can't catch
my breath
sideswiped by the
unripe emotions
i culled from u
& mulled for u
into a glass of me
u'll never imbibe
i sigh
but comply
to ure wishes
u are
the talented mister ripley
who has simply
erased
the taste
of my lips
too distracted by me
to see
the bigger picture
of love
& compromise
ure wise
to deflect emotions
before they arise
ure attempt to disguise
how
memory
is
strange
an apple a day
to keep me away
hoping
ure absence will make my heart
grow colder
but
i will shoulder
the reminder
of my sweetest september
though u choose to forget
yes
these hands
will remember

forgive me
this
interruption
as i lay
naked
&
wanting
in this
daunting
attempt to
entice u
my company
is costly
& my motives
are mostly
fiendish
by design
u were right
to decline
such a
wasteful
treat
dipped
in deceit
& the obvious
mistreatment of ure
valuable
time
i just wanted
to be
beautiful
in the most
superficial way
i just wanted
to be
desired
in the most
sinister way
i just wanted
to be
the one
to see
ure eyes
wide
yearning
for me
& no one
else
i
was
impulsive
belligerent
destructive
deliberately
trying to
lure u away
from ureself
for a
moment
to be
empty
&
silent
&
tranquil
&
free
oh
such
painful
dissuasion
please
forgive me
this
invasion
as i lay
naked
&
wanting
&
rejected
&
ashamed

my sweetest pout
can never ease
the doubt u carry
inside u
did u
really
expect my lips
to change ure
mind
blind
is how i
follow u
down
onto my knees
buried
beneath the pleas
of ure wounded ego
come
smother ure blackness
deep into my chest
rest assured
i can swallow ure burdens
take me there
wounded son
to the place that bleeds
i want to mend
to heal
to steal away
the pain that keeps u
hidden
let me under ure covers
& whisper to me
w/ scarcely a hair
between us
focus on
my eyes
my voice
my love
my choice
to give them to u
what a fool
to think i could cool
the fury
u burn w/
what a fool
to think
u wanted
me to
i endure the suffer
for a kind word from u
but
silence
is my answer
silence
is my reward
this little whore
w/ her mended ways
knows no sunshine in ure days
i can't refute
i won't dispute
the iniquities i carry
within me
i know them all too well
i long for ure tenderness
i plead for ure gentleness
i can not taste
my joys
w/ out
u
soon
the gloom will fade
& u'll be made
whole again
w/ the passing days
but
how long must i stay
disdained
from the
eyes
that used to hold me
so
enamoured

i trace
ure face
to ease the space
between us
when u go
how
to stop the dawn
from breaking
this charm
we’re making
with every
muffled
sigh
we were
written
in the sky
our story
a tapestry
a history
legendary
defined
by the luminous
stars
enveloped in darkness
we cherish
these moments
in bed
tread
softly
beloved
across the wintry floor
a brisk return
will bring us more
of our
predawn
concerto
a
rhapsody
for two
welding our spirits
fusing our bones
with melodious tones
that quake
within me
long
after u’ve gone
ure
tender
vacancy
leaves me reeling
this chasm
leaves me feeling
too
much
such
unmanageable
days
to come
such
unbearable
rays
of sun
to scorch
this peace
with envious beams
just
WAIT
gather me closer
stroke my hair
collapse around me
strip me bare
extract my essence
i perfume
at ure will
i will blossom
with moonlite
&
hold
time

still

i
am
a pool
majestic blue
waiting
to brand u
let me sink
beneath the ink
that decorates
ure flesh
please
bury me
deeply
my patience is waning
like our time remaining
oh
push
me
in
further
submerged
beneath ure skin
i spread within
fast & furious
enthralled
delirious
enchanted
by ure wicked ways
i am
amazed
at this urgency
to be free of this
body
send me
plunging
swirling
coiling
twirling
w/ pitch
black
want
of u
coursing thru ure veins
i trickle down
into ure thoughts
wrought
w/ white hot
desire
a funeral pyre
set ablaze by ure
smoldering glance
i
dissolve
at ure feet
a primary puddle
colored
w/ subtle hues
that
ooze
that
sink
that
bleed
that
creep
that
flourish
to garnish
ure coat of arms
that sits so well
atop the man
that makes me swell
larger
than
life
beyond myself
a generous wealth
of bejewelled
masculinity
let me swim
ure interior
lost
to relish ure core
w/ no hope
of rescue
w/ no signs
of shore
