Afterglows

"Reworking of an old one..."

Moonlight filtering in through curtains,to paint tangles of us spilled together,the sways of your body humming in the afterglow.I can barely move during the stuttering frames,frail limbs and muscles collapsed near you,unable to leave with the cold knowledge that desire can...

This isn't the last poem that I wrote for you.Perhaps those words should stay caged.a cipher sewn close to my core,there were lines about that,being faithful tethered antipodes,and how I can still be loved but you gave to let go.How you can...

Don’t call it a breakup;call it a truce that isn’t holding.Those aren’t words of regret I hear, they’re just more lies I’m done decoding.That isn’t an exit, it’s just a racing sprint for the far horizonand that’s not a farewell...

Just the taste of your skin, like steam rising from a raging river,it's a heart helplessly on fire,the sound of a star roaring through a still night sky.Whatever passes through here,I can promise this,you have woven all seasons into me.Your delicate fingers once...

Whatever guided you and I first seemed to be simple chemistry, tiny atoms immediate and forever, seizing one upon one another. Our secrets helplessly spilled, not every one of them at first, we were too careful then at what we could relinquish even though we wished to just give...
