Longing
arsenic kisses
on bruised lips
poisonous dip
into troubled waters
biting my tongue
lest it betray my heart
sugar coated love
leaves a bitter aftertaste
I long for rich chocolate
arousing my palate
the intellect
of the deep
causes me to
convulse with pleasure
though you're not for me
I am beer on the weekend
you are bourbon on the rocks
Bukowski after dark
for one caress from your calloused hands
I would bring down heaven to taste your hell
I tread your depths with deftness
so as not to disturb you
turning out the light as I depart

"though you're not for me

(Wow, simple statement, yet...packed with [struggle for appropriate word] awesomeness)
I relate to this sentiment, though I feel it when I read the works of some of the great poets here. Like my words are chintzy dime store toys masquerading as something more in Santa's workshop. [see struggle above]
Beautiful!

You've got genuine class, Crim, and a taste for the finer things in life.
"you are bourbon on the rocks
Bukowski after dark"
Sounds good but I'd be more than satisfied with beer on the weekend. "Longing" goes down like champagne...

Sweet mercy. "I would bring down heaven to taste your hell" really captured the longing. And a great visual to boot!

"you are bourbon on the rocks
Bukowski after dark" ... maybe a little pink bubbly to boot. Wonderfully artistic, Dear Crim. Your ink is gracious and ambiguous within. Savoring a brilliant mind, blue angel

Re. Longing!
AggRee most certainly with T Crowfly,,,,you my dear one are a vintage a discerning pallette instantly recognizes as rare one of a kind and to be appreciated,,, suck in and taste layers of flavour...breathe in through the sip and find aromatic bouquet of cherry rose and something undefined and pure surprise!!
But hell!! A nice cold beer with perfect head....well that's a treat any man or WOman savours!
Brenda, you are that unique blend of both...
Not many can make that claim.
This is a great piece.
Love
Jennifer

A masterfully written piece Crim...open and tenderly raw
"I tread your depths with deftness
so as not to disturb you
turning out the light as I depart"
An absolutely lovely piece of ink dear.
