Love

My loveless wreck is a swarm to you It covers me until the icing wind burns Curling into flakes of demonic illness I have never made love I adore and yet I never have Pushed hard with those splinters Coating me like wood Burned into years upon a clock of Black eating heartless pangs The dull nothingness escaping Like so much water and silver Heaven's coins do not speak In a simple ettiquette, a silent force Where colours fade That cuttlefish spine It burns as a wheel and evaporates I am hungered Starved like so many nations With thick Nazi thighs I have never made love My red startling heart piercing endlessly Plucking holes into damage manipulation The red flag which emblazens never white I have never made love _ For Daffy, the only person who can fully understand.

Nathaniel - You know I'm a 48 year old man who has truly seen it all in life - I manufactured meth and played a major role in starting a gang in prison - I have had many ladies in my life but it wasn't until the age of 44 that I truly understood what love was and the difference between sex and actually making love - I admire your open honesty regarding your feelings - wonderful poetry - God Bless, MJ
