I coil and recoil

With painstaking clarity I face my confusion, I redesign the circles Above my head A few lines appear, Uncaring, Out of focus Sand seeps into my eyes, A whirlpool of light, Clear and imprecise Seconds stretch My internal wounds Take over Scars deform my nerves As I approach you, Spitting blood This time it was blue, Pacifying Your blood engulfs me in red Your defences wear me down To brittle bones My ashes drift Into your lap Tasting your desire My spirit recoils Your breath coils Around me Your tongue salivating Over your win My spirit lies broken Pieces wafting Through the air Your smell engulfs my sense, Musky sweat Intimacy drowns me My shadow hurls Through the crowds Tasting you on others Your skin running Through me I hesitate Then dive straight into your gut Your essence completes my lines Shapes appear In my lungs, I breathe you in And out Your screams fill my veins Pumping through my body You invade every corner Imprinting history On brittle hairs around my wrists My neck throbs with the effort Of holding my head still As I look inside your soul A mocking parody of affection Your hairs twirl Around my lips I taste you inside me.
