Deadly Rendezvous
Seasoned in street-wise thoughts,
yet young in the expanse of time.
Picture framed against the barren wall,
rabbit-eyed in street lights glare.
Counting the grains, silver wrapped,
Anticipating getting lost in dragons smoke,
(can she conjure a phantom lover
in these tattered shreds of dawn?)
Diamonds trapped in black ice,
light to the cars high beam.
Dipping, as if to hide embarrassment,
on this escape from suburbia.
~spark of conscience greets her smile
So much like the daughter left at home~
Released from their prison,
tongues of partners scent dance away
on back alley breezes.
Cold air battles with hot through open door,
as a glimpse of sanctuary holds his gaze.
A porcelain whore, emotions wrapped
In frosty glaze of virgin ice.
So easily broken.
Toothless smile, gaping from ear to ear,
bubbling crimson onto alabaster flesh.
Deathly breath accompanying,
sighs of ******.
Liquid pearls,
draped across soft ermine pubis.
And as the sky drips wet dreams,
onto tinted sun-roof,
dawn rips away nights shroud.
Discarded in the gutter,
eyes wide to greet the light,
legs still open, as if waiting for her phantom lover,
she sleeps.
