I swim, blindfolded
through the thickness of hurt
Holding onto the dead skin; a stale scent
Nibbling on waste, in hopes of tasting
To be engulfed again
to hear his beating of the drums
I follow ghosts, believed in nightmares
to be violated by words, toxic fumes
Sleepwalking in this world of dreams
tangled up in riddles, heavy bass pounding
quenching thirst with ashes of hope
desperate until
the obsession takes hold
Unwanted, unresolved, every inch of my body I want to purge,
you firmly hold
give a breath of courage,
wholeheartedly
you remain, wait
my body weeps as you come inside
Lick the layers of shedding skin
caress the abandoned corners and curves
to shake, awaken
you strike a chord, deep in the core
through the slight opening of your mouth i see
the tongue, a nectar on your face
with the eyes, you trust, embrace
lay a gentle hand on my eyelids
the sapphires strum my heartstrings
keeping me steady, a sigh of relief
that follows a realization
a bonding made in faith
my hands play music perform with your body
a holy instrument, sculpted yet melting
on the notes I play, you moan, heave sighs
laughter spreads in peace
on the horizon of your skin
bare, i want to
plant my kisses that you will water,
love, and keep
