Words melt into nothingness as I
sit to write
The magic of your dark brooding
eyes
The heat of your breath sets my
soul alight
As you kiss me purple, in sweet
reprise
Sear your promises on my lips, my
amour
And I’ll drown in your delicious
tenderness
Thrashing some, sobbing some,
sinking some more
And reborn on seafoam like some
hellenistic venus
Is my destiny love or is it your
name,
That deep red love that suffocates
in the layers of a rose
When pricked, shows but a hint of
my insides aflame
Your scarlet Juliet, that pains
and pleasures in throes
