In the Dark & Dead of Cigarette Aftersilence.

[rewiiired]

Electric skin
moving in,
a nanometer closer

and a wave of warm,
enlivening energy
charges through my every pore,
striking the coiled,
spinal snake, dragging
it out of its slumber.

Our bodies meet
without dispute,
but there's a battle there,
waging in her eyes,

and in a moment I know
it has something to do
with the way she touches
my heart when I
close my eyes and
she thinks that
I'm asleep.

I hear Pan's flute
traveling through her wind
as it ripples across my
previously-stagnant waters

a glow covers me,
I feel tingling in my feet,
moments from the bliss
of inevitable denonation

I feel so peaceful here.
So far away from questions, fears.
Deeper and harder now,

a pause,
like death,

between her sounds now,
let me hold off

forever,

I just want to stay inside of her.

Let her waves
just crash around me.

Let her legs
squeeze life
back into me.

Let her fingers
travel across my back,
let her dig in her nails
until I bleed.

Her back,
its arching again,
radiohead has given way
to enlightening
groans of liberation

and I sing along,
we sing in synch,
we crash on the shore
together again,

we bury our heads
in the sweat of the pillow
of our passionate cleansing
of our sacred flow

Still a battle there,
waging in her eyes.

Like I'm killing
her somehow,
and a part
of me dies.

In the dark and dead
of cigarette aftersilence,
words unspoken,
defeaning as sirens.

Now has
given way
to future.

To questions, fears.

A pause,
like death,
between our souls now.

Just hold off.

Hold off
forever,

I just want to stay
inside of this.

I feel so peaceful here.

 

[onetwothreefour]

this is the perfect mixture of zooming into the subject then pulling back out. ebbs and flows exactly as it should.

fantastic work.

 

[not_broken_420]

I love it.

"In the dark and dead
of cigarette aftersilence,
words unspoken,
defeaning as sirens."

Especially that.

 

[BrightEyesIsMe]

I liked that. It was worded so well.
