Oblivion

I am shedding my skin
like the poetry that bleeds
from your ink-cracked lips
onto the bare bones
of my anatomy

Unfold these moon shy limbs
that chase silence
and beg "Stay with me"

For you are the only verse
hidden within this labyrinth
of damaged flesh

I'm a star dweller
I fall into myself
this space within me
is a tiny infinity in itself

"Tiny infinity" is a phrase I am jealous of. And not just because it is an oxymoron, but because of the sounds of the two words together. And they are onomatopoeic, too. And look at the rhythm of that last line, and the other sounds too. They all go together beautifully. And that's just the last line! Lovely little poem, Miss Minimalist...

Smiled at the gold within your eyes, guiding us all to the limitless treasure within. And you are a treasure; a vast wealth of passion and stirring desires in endless worlds of wonder. Please let it be... forever.

I love when you write poetry like this amazing poem. Allow the reader to fall into deep thoughts and wonder.

Sometime we must become nude and open locked door to know the truth. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.
