unfulfilled desire
unfulfilled DESIRE
Were
squinting
cherub sleeping in misleading sleep
his head in surrender
gold drapes on hot for your hair
wet sand between the dunes of the sea
rocked and I fancy
as hourglass precious time
gently shook loose and
in my heart
sweet smell of your skin to the wind, always inebriated
you
always careful and vibrant
each iris Squance
and velvety voice modulator
wrapped desire
tense as a bow ready to shoot the arrow
exhausted
resignation
of missed strokes
and yet fair near you.
So you still would like
in this dreadful solitude
in the ruthless abandonment
while I hear from other arms
freely burning inside of me and down
a chill like death
a chill to embalm the last rays
of passion and unexplored vain
So come and set an end to this
penalty with the cruelty
know this blade sinks
so you want
last breath.
