yes
by exclaimation
you declare that he
does
your exclaimation
and all that thou art
drewj2thomas
grasping for it would only let it go,
then you are gone
leaving only footsteps in snow
and now clothes are never clean
thrown about the hall
all thoughts obscene
standing propped up against the wall
half-naked from the bottom down
what a magnificent scene
and now writing this poem for you…
or maybe that’s where the ax
got buried
in the sheets and covers
the dirt freshly unkept
it’s not hard to imagine
where you buried me
a little taste of rotten morsels
a little bit of fun
just make sure your have something for the morning sun
that maybe you were real once
or maybe you were only my dream
or something that invades
our reality from time to time
just to fuck with me
they are your fountains
and that makes them more
then just cheap plastic toys
they are what flow in your little soul
the same that flows in mine
with their dusty skeletons and marble floors
birds stuffed with loving hands
like well scribed epitaphs
that no longer are read
and pick up the pieces of fur and blood
lust and tongues wrapping around more
tongues with words with no sounds
i can hear your laughing
no lush tropics or wet remorse
just arid valley
dry and invisible caverns
love is full of what
one wants and what you want too
all those gordian knots
drewj2thomas
and love is wanting to
and death’s it,
stopping
