Undo
Crossways
There is nothing but silence
The macabre, gruesome, horrifying and most unsuitable (24)
I feel so good
Breathless in my passion
You are such a tease
Luring me away from
My ultimate
All the other
Lives still to live
All the other
Waiting in line
We need to follow
The process
Score the skin crossways
Then stud with the tips
Of rosemary sprigs
Braise both sides
Put it on a slow simmer
Gently bubbling
Until it falls away
From the bone
We can both share
In the feast
While we are here
In this moment
In time
Listening to the screams
Of death
Time space reality
We are all on a journey
That never ends
Do we want it to?
Never-ending pleasure and happiness
The reason we are here
Every time our eyes meet
I can hear the sound
Of a thousand fluttering wings
Our unwilling symbiosis
Silence and song
Crisscross over the skin
The line is drawn
The point of no return
Crackling in the fire
And brimstone
Unable to sleep
Lest they come during the night
And take my soul
Your eyes
Are nearly translucent
Like the light of all
The ancient oceans combined
They change colour
When you lie
When you are not sincere
I will have to punish you now
Until you have learnt
Your lesson
Breathe
There is a steadiness inside you
A knowing
Of all
That is important
I know better now
Not to get my hopes up
Too much
To not try
Too hard
To not tire myself out prematurely
There is nothing
But silence
Personal Note:
Vengeance only makes you crave more vengeance.
