ageing


will this kiss still be
will it last ‘till our hair is grey
will keep thy warm lips
                                     thy lips warm
our lips smoothly wet
will our hair be gray
                                     together
will this kiss be
will still kiss
will we
                                        be

I grew a garden, gave you my all
you ate the berries and took the seeds
my dreams vanished, awoke and cried
you shed no tears and broke my heart
the garden dried, my cheeks did too
you took my all and kept to you
I shrank and rot and almost die
you took my soul and left my life.

Surrounding, wandering
feeling blue. Eyes
Looking at words flow rapidly
Letting go.
Crying out my name,
                              your letters.
Give thy hand, offer thy heart.
Give you back my all
Give you back me all
Letting go.
Free to fly.
Way up, way out.
Letting free thy voice.
My all.

look into yo’r eyes

                                               look into your eyes


lips glowing


                                               lips damp


tears sliding over


                                               salty cheeks


took yo’r tongue


                                               let thy warmth


open my heart


                                               dagger held


stabbed I die

stand still
                                               so f’king still
                                               flesh roten
                                               falling apart
from flesh
from life
                                               standin’ still
                                               thy tears droppin’
hill down
in thy very hole
of flesh
                                               lost my soul
                                                  taken life.
