sometimes we lay there, lethargic, languid eyes half sleepy, sloping downward my legs gripping your thigh, closer the wind whispers through the cracks i walk naked when you are not there, touching my skin, to remind me of you. the feeling of your hands on my body. i smell you in the pillows, the sheets, in the sweat in my pores. i can stand for minutes over the entangled mass of our clothing. the light slants, night comes swiftly, as on gentle wings she glides. my hand slides across your face, finger against chin, i bite your palm. for tonight, let sleep devour me....as you cannot. as my heart, is carnivorous for the flesh of your body, for the smell of your skin under my hands. for the red of our blood, red across the sheets. for our sighs are dangerous, cunning, a wily serpent ready to strike. i see the flashes, strikes of lights, questioning whether you are warm still, warm against the wet skin of my legs. you lay there, inert, against our heaving breaths, gasping for air we intake from each others mouths. we fall into delusion |
