The Lonely Road

I can feel my body on serene rose petals

The petals rubbing on my skin 

Flourishing my beauty 

As I’ve laid with lovers,

each one baring a memory.

An awakening of loss and grief 

Casting its tears to my cure

A cure illegal to a true lover’s eyes 

I’ve walked down this wet colored, street lights mirroring on this street

I can taste the addiction on my tongue 

As I taste myself on your tongue 

I can feel your fear for me

Repeated words

I pushed them back 

I keep smelling the coldness from my past 

Snow filled with pain 

Iced my entire hope for myself 

Like the dance of a ballerina

Is how my love flows through each man

Each dream carefully manifested 

I’m not sorry for many things 

I’m not sorry I’m an addict, broken, full of love, giggles, spontaneity, the longing of a lone road

The lonely road...

.....To the Unknown....
