"i wrote as i burned, i was so in love with you. yet, so distant."

(X's - Cigarettes after sex)

through myst,

i find you, wailing;

our love so intense that burns
a colorless, gray; black and white flame;

and the slow, burning wood;

let my soul confide in yours, and

letting you confide in mine.

on fire, our dancing footsteps;

the closure we feel, and your lips

getting closer to mine, every instant;

cross my fingers across yours;

rest your head against my chest, so engrossed;

in the moment of your touch;

your body enveloped in my embrace,

all of you; all of you, babe

rustling, dark leaves;

do you trust in me?

my heart, it begins 

to feel more ignited by the moment, will i

lose control?

will you let me, unfold

my wings about and through; out

into the dark, daring skies?

to slow orchestral beats, reverberating;

a pressure near my sacrals;

nerve shattering, sensing your tongue.

throw your arms in air,

rip your blouse out;

tonight, i'm blending into you;

let my lips melt onto yours, slowly;

kiss your scars, your imperfections;

gliding my hands along your body, fire burning

on my palms, slow; and the moles

across your back.

in a black and white setting, let me become one;

with your essence, your being;

swallow your soul whole; 

spit it in me, then chew it back;

softly, graciously.

whisper in the woods, that gray indifference;

paint your walls the same pallets;

by the growing beat, the growing rhythms;

confide in me baby; confide,

in deep ends, deep ends.

.

~~

"people will pass, yet we will watch the world burn;

cherish us together."

in a dark, unscathed night.

"i couldn't stop dreaming of you. i couldn't"

watching it lose its impact, gradually;

"a black and white odyssey."
