My Lips

(Alternate title: BRUCE)

Breathing hard,

we swam in our oceans of skin,

bodies hot,

flesh aflush

as you fall  beside me

feigning to be tired.

I close my eyes

and think about the darkened beach

or if it will be you or the moon

walking alongside me

In the crepitude of twilight

with your consequential manhood...?

As our Friday night breathing Slows with silence of regret

you get up to towel down;

Yet I still

allow your power to dry on me

but you come and wipe away our sex

as you kiss each place

where you had landed

yet you never consider

my lips...

This was actually written back in 2007 and then submitted and I assume published on this site in 2008. I do not understand why writers café would change the date in the first place. Makes me angry and wonder what the f**k is going on ???

Bittersweet...nothing like lip smacking kisses to warm your heart. It's a sad truth you've brilliantly shone light on in your poetry. Nice.

[Janyce Helen Van Es]

Gee, if this ain't typical of a love affair these days. Seems like the romance from one person stays alive while the other just looks for self indulgence. Sooo annoying.

I love romance; my partner...convenience and self gratification. I sympathize.

[QuietPoet]

Its beautiful. I like it.

Sensuality at it's best...intensity of words penned and the imagery ...has risen from the page into the magnets of my mind...Cheers:)

This is beautiful and sad.... You create great imagery and feeling and just thinking about how that would feel makes it heartbreaking. Wonderful write. I can't wait to see more from you.
