In Retrospect

A Poem by 4ammonologues

finally cranked out a poem after 2 whole months of writer's block. I'm not too sure about the ending, but other than that I think it's pretty much complete.

Feeling nostalgic?
How would you like to
climb into my mind;
and I'll show you
how last fall made me think
of your fingers running
up and down my thighs;
the way you traced
that single delicate scar
that wraps itself so snugly
around my ribcage.

We were static then.
notice the way your lips
hinted at a sneer
even as they planted kisses
all along the subtle creases in my neck.

And in retrospect,
I did catch sight of
the bruises
skulking behind your eyes;
a subtle masquerade of
perfunctory serenity
hanging from your lashes
like droplets of morning dew;
barefaced in the attempt
that incessantly threatened
to die out as the day wore on.
