her photo before she knew me
she keeps me company on the long, sleepless nights,
as I dream my dirty dreams & write poetry.
we met where the curious go to find poems; to reflect
on broken hearts & loneliness. she gave me her
intimate secrets & I gave her mine. we fell easily into
the pits of decadence.
I knew she wanted it like I wanted to give it to her.
she has a name, but we brand ourselves with whimsical
identities, more befitting of romantic nomads. she is
temptress & coquette, & I am the savage who takes her
on a bed of scented oleander & blue flames. mostly, I
call her baby.
so we rendezvous in the shadows, my hands reaching for
the hot spots of her skin. our kisses are sparks that ignite &
fade like fireflies. we taint each other with the urgency of
our lovemaking, until the moonlight intrudes, & chases us
from our transmutable garden.
she can find me in my poems when she craves my scandalous
art; & I can summon her seductive, beautifully naked images
in the deepening Cimmeria. sometimes I regale her with the
furious sex of the wild things. & sometimes I beat her.
on abandoned nights, she may look for me in the noir veil of
the fog. but I am on some foreign shore, tangled in the arms &
legs of a rhapsodic woman – dominated by a violent lust
that I can’t control. while she weeps, knowing.
in her photo, she is nude. and happy.
that was before she knew me…
