I am asleep sweet-delicateI am asleep by ~lustshatters
divine-eyed
baby-new
green-minded
sun-dazzled
wake me
kiss me
press palms flat to
mine
dear-hearted
cushion-kissed
fingers-to-lips
play Chopin in my
hair
whisper tomorrow just so softly
the wind carries it away...
searching with bruised limbs deeper deeper deepersearching with bruised limbs by ~lustshatters
and I'm
falling
diving//swimming
and watching as you follow.
hesitant
at first
the water on your skin is not so warm
I am waving
beckoning
I am here
only here
to swim with you.
red rose petals fall and spill fromred by ~lustshatters
my hands
my wrists
with glistening
bloody dew
they pile and lay
in elegant arrays of vivid relief
my wrists bend and snap
and pluck at each drop each splash
and I am
cold
Line up the creases in the flesh that cover your pale skullLine up by ~lustshatters
remind that you have seen it all
you have been it all
and you are still here.
there's been mirth
death. birth.
butterflies. sunrises. empty boxes filled.
shoes tied. fingers crossed. notes written.
things forgotten.
the way your fingers twine around the cigarette
the way you draw in a deep breath of acrid emptiness
remind me that you've held it all in.
you've kept it all a vital part
of you.
as the smoke...it is in your lungs.
in your eyes. in your nose.
life.
these lines make you.
shape you.
you are lines and creases and dents and scars
hovering in a shifting mass of hum
