Soulmess

The heart a beat or two skips a bit; lingering memories drag their thorny fingers through this pierced brokenness! Quit; why be it screams Trust! What’s that word that has let your kind wickedness rock the vessels that pump life giving bloody platelets into the stream of my being In the currents of your lies I swam, blinded by stevies’s glasses Wonder perhaps I would have felt the waves beneath. Gently reaching peak magnitudes as I waded in false gratitude of the comfort of your breast: breast that comforts another head so different from mine. We were also meant to be fine like something getting better with time; old wine sweeter. In those lips laid promises like two sides of a coin; heads and tails Tales that will begin like whispers and die when mine met yours in sensual deceit. Listen; shhhh; quiet we made love that actually couldn’t make love as your lover wasn’t in bed with you and me. I’ve gazed into those eyes and thought I heard them speak my name but alas, You are a cheat! Weighed on a scale and found short of true substance; perhaps like an empty promise, full of words and cocooned in sweetness yet just a caterpillar underneath! A master of two worlds till I guess you belong to none!
