sweet sweet words
whispered so softly in my attentive ears
I love you so, so much
in hot breath all tones
he said hushed by his very own awe of
the moment
and I'm sorry too much that I want you
and it hurts
I'm basking in your love
my tears themselves replied
absorbing the fine sheen of your confession's
frank essence
do I turn your tattered heart to cinders
upon the winter's hearth
and make your breath back up on itself
do your hands itch
to skate up and down my bare pale cool
soft woman's torso
is avid their sole path
to pleasure's thick forest
the road is quite clearly marked for thee
in my delicious ramblings even sleep
harks to me
come treat your battle weary scarred heart
to that of a journey like it has never
truly known before
but I must do so
I fear right now
but only in my dreams
mon cherie je'taime
I love you beyond the scope of all
imagined moments
why, even into the grave my love shall
companion you
and be glad to rest its thankful appendages
gently across your now far too silent heart's
cage
your love is at last free
and with you
know that it takes a part of me
one of the most important parts anyway
all I ask is
let the ashes of your love blow back to me
tonight
with the evening's regular dusk
and rest upon my trembling lips
just as silently as my own shall speak to you
once you are gone forever
through every moonlight's shadow to come
and each unfailing morning's mist..........
