My Lady's House

I leave the
fiction outside,
it belongs
with the cold.

Our friction 
makes a satisfaction
that condenses on
glass

and the windows
weep for us.

I breathe in
the sweet smell
of wine-tinted
moans

and heave heavy
a sigh.

You know, Hai Au Chu this was not a good time that I read such a descriptive piece that is so fitting to how I am feeling right now. Trouble is, my love is miles away and I couldn't execute! Great piece though!! Didn't leave much to the imagination...well said. Joy (Jew)

I saw you mention Dylan in your comment on Deborah, and said yes, another Dylan thomas fan. I came for that and found more ... a great writer on your own.
