Addictive Rouge
October 5, 2014
When can my love
Unfettered
Rejoice beyond the glass
This existential membrane
Our earthliest impasse?
For years I’ve bidden
Journals, and in their pages
Mused
Of opal eyes like tunnels
In shades of starlit blue
Yet! Not since June have I savored
Or even welled the
Bliss
Of melting on a biscuit
Jams of blush, of the kiss
You offered me all but a hug
Like butter colder than its
bread: You!
Now all that I have left are
Two abyssal eyes of blue—
And even those
Have shut in memory.
