Shelter Seeker
Felt the promise of friendshipin her wistful smile
The possibilities of creation
within her bright eyes
Drawn to her like flies on honey
entranced by beauty a-plenty
Fell hard into her
broke my bones of love
Accidents happen to careful people
walls softened, opened to greet her
Shelter seeker that I am,
I broke my bread and let her in
Passion drips from her like frost in hell
rivers of captivity, I cannot despair
She holds me down, beneath earth's crust
I am a molten core,
believing in her promises of trust
Gladly would I give my meager self,
my reasons to live and my mental health
Caught for one second in lust's embrace
the smell of her skin
and the salt of her taste
Our tongues colliding
throwing off sparks
snakelike limbs writhing in the moist dark
Neither thinking we wont finish what we start
and the moment when,
our words become flesh-tipped darts
Heat-seeking twisted meanings
that never meant anything
The triumph of our union
destroyed like so many things
with the beat of a rhythm
that doesnt care about hearts
My place in her world fades
Her face in mine stuck on pause
Before we ever knew each others law's
