Poem Title:
Poem
Teeth on your neck, Warm breath And the kind of heat Only another body Could create When it touches you- Fingertips colliding In the darkness, Folding lips Devouring, Dividing and conquering Everything left to be Discovered- We are quickly running Out of secrets…. Paper skin that inks Red For days before fading, Waiting to be Rewritten; I've never known A love Not defined by A purpose For pain, A tolerance to give So you can take In return- I only know how to Devour, Divide and conquer A body, Sweet talk the guards Of that glorious Temple So I can kneel At your altar To pray, Say amen in your name, Whisper words In darkness like A firm believer, Light a fire To teach you What if feels like to be Burning From the inside…. So let the flames Lick your Eyes, Gleam In the street-light Outside That was our only witness- Oh, God I roleplay a mean Servant of deliverance- No one has ever Bothered to study A religion such as you…. And maybe I can fill myself, Go home And feel whole The next day, Body Like a live wire In the wake Of a Hurricane That blew, Fiercely, Through the night- We are only in the eye And I can be your Sleeping Beauty In the sunlight- But I've tried Happily Ever After And if you can climb Past my magic defenses, Of roses and walls So tall a giant Could not scale them Then I will knight you And make you my Queen… But like a fairytale I don't last Forever And only Disney Managed to make my Story Look pretty- Let's remember This all started With Whispered discoveries- Teeth on your neck, Warm breath And the kind of heat Only another body Could create.
