solis

Spiralling into unselfish passion
Lovers embrace eternal deisres
Enslaved by her every word
Haunted nightly by the ghost of this love.

A crack in the sky reveals stars at night
Curls of smoke rise to a high ceiling
The light illuminates a passage of flesh
I welcome wakeful nights
Fighting fits of possessiveness.

Caught in a web of memory
Replaying scenes of blissful moments
Wishing for resolution of a torn mind
Placing hope in the hands of ancient texts
Passing time in the habit of a drunkard.

I fall through dreams of white skin
Wrapped around me like a soft mist
Falling into waiting lips
And waking with an emptyness
Thinking that she won't be back.

Obsessed with reproductive flesh
The preoccupation of the ages captures us
Innocence is a veil for unmade love
We join with the intention of conversation
And leave with unknown pleasures.

Evening light blinds me by the hour
Songs blend in musical memory
Words reflect a thousand feelings
Instruct me along a thousand lines
And ignite hope in a desperate mind.

Flaming hearts beating loud
I take her hand in madness
Kiss her red stained lips
With a love that will not die.
