Smile As She Sleeps

The scrape of tooth on my bottom lip as she pulls her kiss milisecs away agonise the wait ...oh the wait My breath deliberately taken Skin that tastes the flesh beneath Muscles undulate in untrained ways Truths become elusive Masquerading as the senses Death slouches from the rooms corner But pauses in politeness Or watching whose to know Those moments space is give and taken Those spluttered grunts and mewing purrs A giggled snarl words from banned books ripped Skin pierced backs as nails pull in unison Rythmed beasts Agonyistically unstatic Run the gaunlet raw Hold my gaze with unkempt fire let me kiss your slipping breath Oneness held in tempered moments For the devil to replay Echoed musks the room Ripping hearts pulls breast breath takes breath Its roaring whimpered in the cavern of our intertwined and wined stems Staring at the stars dancing in the mirrors of her sleeping sweat
