Your skin is silk
No matter how rough
I love the way you stare
The way you move
When we ****
Your hips have mind
Your legs have life
In this moment I know love
In this moment I'm alive
Passion is a drug
And only you can get me high

Your ghost haunts me daily
It looms over my head
Fills me to my feet
Overburdening and overflowing
Melancholic love
Consuming
A smile would give life to an apparition
A moment in your eyes
One moment before the rest
A touch can soothe the burns
A moment lost in caress
One moment before the rest
The spirit fades into memory
And you in its place
I lay down my arms
I prostrate at your feet
My fears laid open before you
One moment before the rest

A man covered
Shadows for sheets
And little rays that pierce the protection
Pillows of hope
They reek of flowers, feminine
Stiff with the mortis
All seems to be alive
Yet there are no beats
His skin is warm
His face is wet
All outside is booming and thumping
The incandescent lights shine
Door creaks closed quietly
No one comes to him here
Not one bothers to break this illusion
As a picture reel runs over memories
The Flowers permeate
Inducers of emotions
That glow violently in his mind
This room, his room
A mecca for all that’s gone
All the relics lay scattered around
Visual stimulation
Stubs and papers, Poems and pictures
Remind him
Music plays softly
He can hear it in the background
The songs of his faith
He is in love
He knows this now
She is nothing
But he is always there to jump
He is always there to run
Manipulate everything
To make the world hers
And now this is only place she lives
In comfort alone, under cover
With pain to release her
And water to ease her
Fermented drinks to cease her
Like the one I sip now
To write horribly
With this tainted mind
I shut the door and press play
Its time to remember
Its time to pray

The Sampaguita Bloom

That soft aroma

It encased me for days

Kept locked in your aura

The flickering candle

Kindling in your eye

The pink curve

That beauty, called your smile

It lingers here

A memory forever

The future now

Who knows what will whether?

I keep my words whispered
Though I'm screaming inside
These feelings are punishment
To keep my heart in line

Embracing you is masochism
Writhing and feeling alive
Encased by you
The body's natural high

Legs lock
Mouths dance
Hands pull
Eyes glance

You reside inside
That girl laying next to me
I'll be gone
And you'll never hear my whispers
I took them with me
Though I left something behind
I'll swallow words
Till I can say them to another

Ash
You poke the ashes hoping for some heat
Your eyes fixate on the gray
But there is no red
Consuming cold
These coals have long been dead

There's nothing here but the corpse of a fire
But I'll smile for you
If that will keep you warm
Stephen Norton Dec 2015
You aim for everest
With only the skill to cross a hill
You wait for gold
When silver is handed to you
You **** your head, bewildered
Offended I'd reach out to you
A corpse sitting quietly
Ready to decay
Delay, postpone salutations
Till a ring would have no place to hang
Keep waiting on prince charming
No one wants the farmer
Every peasant girl is a princess
And every man is a pauper
