The Sea Is What Empties Me

Folder: 
Hambre del Alma

 

 

I cannot say what it is that
fills my grey lungs
Or what part of this wretched
machine has gone missing

 

like cold stone under thigh,
I shiver away from you
living and reliving a moment that
never quite happened
I never touched you,
and my frame never ached so intensely sweet
from not touching you
I am undone.
Prolific colors paint you
And your eyes,
mesh with the sea
where I will make love to you someday
Someday, I will shake you.
and the sea will whisper great things

 

And the sea will whisper all the
things I could not

 

fiction eating dreams and

the truth is what eats me
so what

 

So what if I pinned you against
my body and
made you kiss the wet snow off my neck
I wonder if you could taste the
mix of atmosphere and tears

 

the salty curve of my mouth
that falls inlove with you so many brilliant times
and goes so faintly unnoticed

 

like the sea,
in the dark of night

 

That is what empties me.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

the tinge 

 

of provocation 

 

that teases 

 

the mortal

 

to gaze with 

 

admiration 

 

upon the 

 

utter ugliness

 

that beauty

 

seeks to 

 

caress,

 

so that it 

 

may be

 

seen in it's 

 

completeness, 

 

and not distorted

 

by it's sweetness.

The Colors of Prolific

"Prolific colors paint you" and "fiction eating dreams/and the truth are what eats me" are among several other favorite lines in this write - soft, but sincere tone, nice imagery to float upon ~~A~~
