Memories From a Muddled Mind

As I sit brooding over my tea I
picture once more the solemn
sight of a streetlamp going dim
the same beacon of hope that
previously fueled the ramblings
inside my addled mind now
a ghost a shadow of it’s past
I imagine again the clothesline 
that was once the structure for a fortress
so flimsy in it’s cottenness yet 
strong from our beliefs today it
lies forgotten in a garden ransacked by time
bleached by an unforgiving sun
for eternity it shall rot until
revived by some memory 
and brought back into the foreground
of my delusional psyche.

Heat

it is the feeling of lust
burning deep in your chest
and seeping out the corners of her eyes

it is the smell of cinder and ash
and campfire smoke
smoldering outside your room

it is the taste of her tongue
and the passion of yours

it is the sound of screams 
of both agony and ecstasy
of both love and hate

it is the sight of her limbs 
tangled up in yours
bare bodies
soaking sheets with sweat
