lust itself
kisses me
while a bag of desires
it throws carelessly at my feet
no actual affair could ever dance for the'
mind you
'tis but a mirage coaxed out of
such testament ere tantrum
to the brevity of what can only be called
a cumulative defeat
so to stage this protest
draped in poetic dare
I commend ere condemn you to repeat
for even in the great lungs of hope
lurks the tiniest breath of despair.......
