Lady Labyrinth Poet Romanticism

Milk

"MILK"




Thirst comes at 3am
a wake, 
you are immersed
in an Ocean



Dreams broken 



Thirst calls you 
Heat takes you



3am 
Milk 



A cold tall glass
chilled
slowly
swallowed 



Face fronting a fridge
coolness runs it's length 
of you
naked,



door is open 



3am 
Milk 



sculled



it's coolness drips 
down your neck
past your heart
to you know where...


there, 
yeah,
right there


Time turns you around
fully naked, words form to sound
up against a door 
freedom found



3am
Milk



Vanilla
He takes you



Heat calls you
You're an open fridge
coolness wraps 
its legs around you



You cry out 
with your lips swollen around 
a neck, the bottle frozen
melts 



He says, 
“Providence, 
Trust is a token"



You say, 
“Love, trust is not a token",
safe word, 


“Broken”



Thirst comes at 3am
Awake, 



You are fully immersed
in 
THE Deep Dark Ocean



Love
Trust


Bonded
Broken

Joseph P. DiMino May 11, 2019 at 8:14 AM Captivates the reader from the very start. Excellent poetry! Original! Lady Labyrinth May 11, 2019 at 10:41 PM It's way out there for some, I'm afraid. lol...I was thinking after reading quite a lot of the short stories here in Poetry Soup over the past few weeks, why the short story section is shunted out of the awards categories. There are some brilliant writers here, whose genre is not specifically poetry, but leaning more towards novella/novels. It's quite stunning the calibre of short story/fiction writers I have read so far. Thanks for your comment. Directing now to Joe Dimino Short Story Section. L x
