Lovers Not
"Lovers Not"
Lovers Not
Games we play
hard edged
tongues
where no word’s safe
ecstasy to abstain
blindfolded
to begin again
saltwater stings
where you lay
bound to another
never-slept soul
worshipping her
alabaster shrine
your dream
prolonged
spent legs of this journey
spread on your Dante cross
submerged
you willingly
drown close
washed clean
by her rolling ocean
sans perfume
to taste the essence of skin
in shattered shards
of moonbeam
reckless in your
loose agency
a small price to pay
where the heat
from her words
blow your
pages
wet and hot
black feather quills
well oiled and cut
blood written
no escape plot
Purgatorio and Paradiso
Beatrice led
you don’t beg
to stop
tied up tightly
wanting to remain
mind-stripped
no slow soft rope
Games we play
Lovers Knot
