Amontillado

Amontillado

A Poem by Kala Benfield
"

I love you until the cask's run empty.

"
Our silver silhouettes 
dance on the walls.
Hushing sounds begin 
to escape our skins.
Leaving lust to be
our only sin.

Tense and beautiful.
Gritting teeth,
shaping my physique.

Shaken from collision
being brought to
my attention.
Shattering my bones
from every binding
grip you hold.

Touch me with your 
gentle caress.
Quivering lost tastes,
and your lifeless embrace.

I'm in love what can
I say ?
Beauty is an unlawful
construction molding
into ones only prey.

Complexity will permit
fragments of obscurity.
And I will remember
the footsteps that 
you and I have once taken.
Disregarding all my misfortunes 
that I will one day mistaken.

Enchanting to be an aquatint.
Even more exciting to be apart
of something quite more pure.
Words have been held against 
my will. 
My love will be your account 
to make you a sure.

Libating Amontillado.
Dissipated in all since
of unnatural terms.
String your lights
in all of your
brightness,
you will earn.

Cask of Medoc and De Grave.
Mainly unstable. 
Grasp the flambeaux,
to guide you threw
the catacombs;
placed in the way,
crouch the shifting silence;
its much to low.

My connoisseur,
precious.
My love.
My conical cap. 

Place me in a crypt.
Pour nitre around my
cold descendants.
Let it flow currently
forward to withhold 
when you chisel and carve 
my script.

We'll live in a vintage
setting.
Bring along our barbaric actions,
and we'll live forever
like no other.

I promise for as long as
my lovely bones
still progress within time,
I'll wear the raquelare
for you are the 
various air.

Screen in our vaults.
and our carnival will
burn bright.
I will be the death when
we fault.

The casks will run empty
and we will sleep.
Endlessly I will 
love thee.
