I want~

to lick the butter

from your hands

                       and

    drink the wine

that

trickles from your lips

                            and sip

       your delicate elixir          

                                                      I want to touch

                                                           your mouth

                                                     or do you doubt

                                                     my intent

                                                                  or are you

                                                                  just spent

                                                             on definition . . ?

                                                                         Can I mix

                                                                         my soul with yours

                                                                         and taste the kiss

                                                                         upon your tongue

                                                                         and feel you in my skin

                                                                         like sweat in my pores

                                                                         I breathe . . .

                                                                         I breathe you in

                                                                                           like the air

                                                                          you take for granted

                                                          Y e t  .  .  !

                                                          I  feel

                                                          You’re choking me

                                                                        and know

                                                           I can not breathe

                                                           you know

                                                           I can not be

                                                           B l i n d e d  .   .   !

into ~

not seeing myself

               anymore

                                                            but for

                                                            the reflection

                                                                    on the floor

                                                            of drizzled tears

                                                                                                         Instincts . .

                                                                                                         mask

                                                                                                         the mask you wear

                                                           deception dance

                                                           along your sleeve

                                                            in single file

                                                            in order of the lie

                                                                                                       and

                                                                         that drop of saltiness

                                                                         that wanders

                                                                         down your cheek

                                                                                   is not a tear

                                                                                 that I believe

                                                          yet . .

                                                          in my stupor

                                                          in my daze

                                                          I’m still clear enough

                                                                  to make my way

                                                                                 through

                                                      your complicated maze

                                                you masturbate my senses . !

Still . . 

I want to kiss

your lipstick

painted purple lips

                                                      I  want to caress

                                                     your full and swollen hips

                                                     that calls me slave

                                                     that calls my name

                                                     o u t   l o u d  . . !

                                                                                         and

                                                                              is familiar

                                                                           to my touch

                                                                                     I raised my head

                                                                                         that’s perched

                                                                           between

                                                                                      my tired hands

                                                                                            and peered

                                                                     between my matted hair

                                                         L o c k s  .  .  !

                                                         that fall like rain

                                                                          against

                                                            my wetted face

                                                          S t a i n e d   .   .   !

I gaze

into a darkened daze

            your nakedness

against

the early dusk of fall

                                                          like a virgin

                                                          that takes a lover

                                                          for the first time

                                                                        you call  .  . !

                                                           b u t ~

                                                           I refuse to hear

                                                                        and dare

                                                                         my body

                                                        N o t   t o   L i s t e n
