I feel like I've lost this, this talent
to turn this situation into words
into poetry, into ways to explain
how you pull my chest bones apart
like curtains and peer inside,
and how all you can see is you
and a bloody heart, and you,
oh how you hang
from my oesophagus,
your hands all pulsating and my organs all swelling.
The tension between us is both unbearable and
kind hearted, you touch my arse
and I want to kill you.
Sweet, curling, flickering tongue,
Amore and cologne take this dance.
Satin hues, and musk, and hearth,
Smothered by the latest romance.
Pilgrim sister, and unlocked mind
Our delight is rightness, we know;
Every thieved flash is an ecstasy,
Tell me after, where will we go?
Our virtue is true, I would give it to you,
Everything, and after, and more.
Contented and harmless and gifted to be,
This time and place, it is what I am for.
