Untitled Poem by me

A poem I posted a while back... It really is one of my favorites.


flushing past sins down
and they float away
on a dirty little river
of my indiscretions
nobody saw my mistake
more up close than you
with stubble and a backwards cap
scraping your teeth against my metallic skin
smearing any black left
across sweaty cheeks
my love sits on my chest
so heavy I can't breathe
I never could
that's how you caught me
made me feel small
made it loud and messy
full and empty
cold and dark
graffiti littered through
my sugar coated smiles
god pulls this deep red velvet
through miles and miles
of brightly colored hopes and dreams
floating and watching down on me and you
shaking his golden head
laughing merrily at all my wrong turns
shaking pale knees
stuttering stilletto heels
moving in time to the rythm of saints
lipstick tastes like wine and
the stain of my devotion
shows on your shadowed face
flowing beats that resound inside
my empty stomach
and my pointy shoulders gliding
far from your sandpaper touch
snagged silk
soft to the touch reminds us
where that burning path took us
and how much it ached
and we part slowly
soles shuffling distances
palms trailing down arms
waking up on the floor
with the sun shining down brightly.
