"Red" © 2007

At my touch, you sigh.
In my arms, you can't deny,
The darkness at bay,
You ask me to stay,
No fear, no sorrow, no why.

As I kiss you, you smile.
As you smile, I feel,
Ghosts call from the past,
Echoed sorrows holding fast,
Let it go; relax for a while.

You hold fast, to the pain.
The fractured memories remain,
The lies, Broken dreams, Not gone for long.
How you felt, When you knew,
That he wasn't for you,
How could you, have been, so very wrong.

As you gasp n' sweat, fear dies,
Still your demons whisper lies,
Fed on flesh, fed on blood, fed on fear.
One by one, watch them flee, if just tonight, you are free,
You tremble in surprise, and shed a tear.

Stars explode, in your brain,
Two parts pleasure, one part pain,
I revel in your earthly delight.
Your moans turn to cries, then to tears, tears to sighs
You go limp, I hold you close, and all seems right.

I watch you fade at last, droopy eyes, sorrow past,
With a murmur, you snuggle close and welcome night.
Tousled hair, lipstick a mess,
A rumpled pile, once your dress,
Your beauty, all I know, until the light.

The End

This is an interesting line DomNe, I think most people can relate to the haunts of the past echoing to them. And also when you talked about broken dreams and lies...yes, I know this feeling all too well. Why is distrusting so much easier than trusting, I ask myself? Perhaps, why it is so important when and "IF" we ever get to the point of actually opening up and trying or learning to trust someone over time...a gift like that should not be sequestered and ignored. I really enjoyed your two new posts. You are a really good poet and writer, full of expression. Many go back in fear, so it takes a strong person to see things the way they really are.

Thank you for your reply RedBottomGirl26. I truly believe that expressing your feelings is a gift, as many cannot.
