Like a Name You'Ve Forgotten
"Like a Name You’ve Forgotten"
A strange storm has arrived
flexing its muscles
around me its arms
wrap electric life, hot
rippling veins of light
you can hear its heart beat
like yours is thunder
as the sky makes love to you
as if to say, earth bound creature
I’m here to enrapture, fully take you
you think that I’m your
Dark Night
when I’m through with you
you’ll feel my hot tears
on your cool skin, wanting more
as the other you
leaves like a warm mist
to walk in the ether
in your sleep
I’ll kiss your eyelids
and you’ll wake
in my arms
a sensuous cornucopia
breathing fire in your shine
like a comet burning
like another fallen star
my sky is peppered with diamonds
I pick one from your indigo
like a velvet lover
chooses a wild flower
from the weeds
I’ll slip it to you gently
like you’re a new bride
as I whisper your name
on some foreign shore
waiting for the sun to rise
like a name you’ve forgotten
(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
