just now

just now i touched my tongue
to the silvery taste
it made me think of you
that quiet night
we went to feed the dogs
and fucked on her bed
and used her towels
i remember watching you
your arms poised
as you looked out the window
and i knew i'd never forget
the shape of your frame
the butt of your elbows
the curve of your thigh
i wondered what you thought
and hoped it was peaceful
knowing that time was ending
when in the future
would the new one begin
it was wonderful
to have a lover again
i didn't care
if it was no good
that was the point, baby
holding you in intimacy
was more important
listening to you
with eager ears
was more important
living our fantasy
as bourgoisie as we were
was more important
we were just a little fucked up
but we found each other anyway
and i believed everything
especially when you said
'i love you'
within moments
of being with me
now it warms my belly
the feel of your body
against mine is so right
it's like she found
that missing part
and i think yours feels the same
although you keep trying
to find another that will fit
you are the one
who is perfectly made
for this patient soul to love
how your gorgeous smile
is a facade and so beautiful too
just like all of us
under a miniscule layer of skin
lies bloody muscle and tissue
matter and feces and sinew
organs of blue and purple
burgundy and pink
inside is what we are
a living organism
with a brain that knows
what our conscious mind cannot
and a heart that believes
only what it is told

i fucking love you, baby

    .........beautiful anatomy of unconditional love.
  • I'm definitely digging on the initial pretty foofoo nice soft sweet descriptions followed by the anatomy lesson. Sorta brings the whole thing down to earth without losing the feel of love...

    And also betrayal, I think... secular. I believe the organspeak helps nail that down.

    Excellence.
