I'M Ready

The dreams won’t stop cause I feel your arms around my Imagination so I turn expecting Your smile to greet my eyes and It does so I reach out to touch Your skin but it’s cold like glass Framed pictures can’t keep me Sane anymore memories do nothing To shield me from these screaming Banshees no ghosts left save my Sea of beautiful demons and I Can’t swim against or even with This tide my legs are too weak to Kick away these nightly mares who Share my bed masks upturned in horror Pursed lips kiss the void good every Night like our pillows can’t seem to Remember what your cheeks taste like Neither can my chest too eager to testify Against its obsession over your skin Built with bricks too archaic for this Prince so I rewrite our poems on sheet Like papyrus making love between lines And vinegar I’m deaf to your will so Curves sign to me closer penned in Prose reserved for sweaty flesh like Those behind pictures of studs on Horseback or is it horses on studs and I forget the sword stabbing me in my Thigh just wants to slay your dragon but Not kill it so tomorrow you can terrorize That tuft of townspeople below my navel Or we trade places and I can stick my Tongue in your town’s business let me Divide your crowd and submit to your Breath in violent non-protests with I Do shackle me to promises of forever; I’m ready...
