Missing Person
Under a green light in the library
Do I look golden to you yet
With those heart shaped leaves
Glued to my eyelids?
A pointed mention of her
Vermouth please, just a whisper
Under a green light in the library
Do I look golden to you yet
With those heart shaped leaves
Glued to my eyelids?
A pointed mention of her
Vermouth please, just a whisper
Goddess of Color, the Stars and Moon,
Glides her brush across her womb.
With scarlet red and hues of gold,
She calls her Orange, her first to hold.
There is a place where rivers flow,
My fertile chest, her flowers grow.
The taste of honey, sweet romance;
Carving valleys, our bodies dance.
Vivid petals bloom and trace,
colors dance, uniquely placed.
Swirls of vibrant hues surround;
whispered beauty, made no sound.
Violets bloomed across your skin, “They’re beautiful,” you said,
“Water them with wood and sin, break me like I’m bread.”
Scarlet flags and misplaced trust,
Little pills and twilight rust.
Empty sofa, monochrome,
Skeletons dance, rattling bones.
Clementines fall from the trees
in your backyard where we collapsed
after working out together.
The first frost of the season injecting its sweetness
between the spongy white strings everyone hates.
