'more'.....

shroom.........

yes bastet, seriously and at nearly 3 in the morning.

(wrote this as a challenge, was given 7 minutes to complete and post it. i know it needs work, but hey, i’m posting with over a minute to spare. )


there’s a poison in you,
in us;
even if you always do taste
like cough drops.

it’s much easier for
punch-drunk lovers
and one night
pass me bys;
harder still,
for people like us.

the addicted ones.

i can’t be easy to love
i know this,

but your body warms me like
summer thunder
and mine comforts you like
a tourniquet.
(love/storm)
throbbing lightning
in a bottle.

go ahead
leave
before i do.
go ahead
scream,
loud,
in a voice only
ex-lovers can
understand.

i’ll find you tomorrow
where music and
silence meet.
where we will kiss
hard
and with a thunderous
passion
of colliding Gods
falling to earth

and we’ll laugh
loud,
as we read this note.
knowing that
in these words,
here,
we will find nothing
more
than the dried chips
of ink
falling from
the wrinkled pages
of yesterday.
