absence makes the heart grow darker

[brothermarcus]

absence makes the heart grow darker

shine, sing
waste this wanted thing

press my nose
toward winter's icy close

drifting softly
with the jazz that wanders across the ceiling

you are my feelings
drunk with me tonight

as the cigar smokes
my mind's lips consumed in the fire

i can only want silently
visions reversed to see you leaving his embrace

my strewn books lift up off the floor
returning to their places on the shelf

as the red drops slowly unpool
snaking gingerly back up digits

spirit is regained
wounds close and razors return to the cabinet

the bathroom light dims
slippers again abandoned by the bed

this bed still warm remembering you
this cold heart turned black forgetting.

 

[neverwas]

very well worded. hope you're well. long time since we've spoken

 

[RareForm]

as the cigar smokes
my mind's lips consumed in the fire

this was neat. very vivid.

 

[inode]

airy, I like it.

 

[BREAKaBEAT]
