The candle goes out
Poof, like a sunburnt romance,
As the shadows roll-up and vanish
Into the conjurer's cardboard lair.
There, but not there.
Plucking up courage,
Boom, like gravity from the sky,
I fall on your lap, flowers dipped
In honeysauce,the smell skimming
Down your thighs, before
The hand arrives.
Dreaded swish, the flowers squirming
In air, gravity all too clear, fleeting
Mid-air despair, as Hello, whispers
The dust-baked ground, near, near.
Not fair,
I scream into her eyes, glimmering
Stones showcasing the birth of desire
In the dusty dark, as I gradually
Realize her burning fear; for all I
Care, I hope I am
Nearly there.
