(started my new job today....it was dead. so i wrote this on a paper bag...)
You pick up your pencil
In a devious emotion
In etched silver imperfection
To mark down your alterations in stark white flesh
Your hands burn a brighter blue
They smell of swine and incarceration
You step with both feet in a fateless frenzy
In a dim light stereotype
I ache with ambition
To bleed your dirty touch
Do you think I’m asking too much?
When your face is dripping down temptation
Your voice in scarlet frequencies
Just above my ears reach
Just above sanity
We’re stirring conversation into our coffee with little sterling spoons
Your fingers clench table cloths
Bleeding a distinctive aura
My lips dare touch
And your lies taste more graceful than ever before
Almost like winter ballet
Resembling autumns golden leaves
Mirroring moonlit archways
My hands reach out to pull you in
You belong right here
Deep red inside me
Quench my parched thirst
We’re out of coffee
