Withered

Written and published on September 25th, 2007 at 18:03.



Revved up lattes and chocolate
Sweetness on my lips
Taste buds excited beyond words
But not beyond compare
Of the taste that leaves me gasping
Breathless and poisoned by the touch
Of an angel whose skin is so sweet
So elusive this perfect day this heaven
Inside you is something wrapping me
Like taunting gossamer ivy leaves 
Falling all around me from purple skies
Possibilities endless leap around like sparks
Stealing the lightning from the storms
Leaving only the thunderous echoes
Of shadowy figures standing on the sides
Stealthy voyeurs refusing to be seen
Holding me up and tearing me down
Running fingers along my insides pervasive
Reading me inside and out everything
Laid bare draining the magic you took
Seemingly impossible to retrieve
The hole you once filled once dwelled within
Refusing to be filled with the waves of empty
Nights staring at the ceiling paralyzing me
The ivy leaves fall to the ground one by one
Darkening like souls gone black and withered
My gaze dances along nocturnal diamonds
I dreamt the world was mine and yours was ours
