I suffer you rightly
Oh wrongly accused
Recuse myself nightly
How blessed the muse
Sicken me sweetly
I tasted a stain
A blemish so wonderful
Never attained
Adrift in a dream
And transported away
My skin and my bones
Will wither and sway
My slumber sings promises
Sweet to my soul
To love and to cherish
To have and to hold
The white sheets are folded
No need to take form
The air is her breath
On my neck in the cold
Fingertips begging
My brain to be fooled
Her smell parallel
To each thought that unfolds
She rocks me and reels me
I’m slipping away
It taunts me, this feeling
Like tears in the rain
Captured, enraptured
And tortured the same
The walls won’t stop laughing
The drapes are insane
Forlorn is the darkness
With shimmering lust
Wanton and wayward
The path in the dust
Trust me this once
To wrangle you lightly
Silken red ribbon
With ankles bound tightly
Hopeless position
Unites underneath
Untie me if only
To caress my cheek
Seize what you want
With mute affirmation
Everything once
Was a wistful temptation
Hazy reflection
And flickering screen
A fistful of flesh
A mouthful of screams
Seventy inches
Of ground are above you
Everything once
Was the way that I loved you
Take anger and passion
And gasoline fumes
Mix them together
And burn down this room
So long as I’m living
I’ll surely be dead
My heart’s turning black
But I’m painting it red
