Undressed
January 13, 2014
By:Magnolia

You’ve revealed me.
Broken flesh ripped from the bone, unfathomable like song seeping from a closed lip stone.
*
I felt the trail of your lips in deep slumber.
It bound then bled the breath out of me, like starving rose vines clenched around a brittle tree.
*
You occupy the space betwixt anguish and revelry
Crystalized, like a happy sea pearl, bathed recklessly; You move me.
*
Cremated in the ecstasy of risen dust, I am a composition made of sentimental leaves, the nights beating lights and dirt, fermented & churned to rust.
*
Molten your thoughts.
Like grapes swallowed in the belly of a hungry hand, pick, bite and swallow me whole ;
And if you abandon the complexities of pride
you will feel me with each mouthful.
*
Let the heft of your visible existence sink & die
And I will be the waves on your shore that rise, crash & cling to your every side.
*
Undressed & transparent, tunneled between softened ribs, is everything to you I give.
