Rings Of Desire

You cut deep and counted my rings
each one a stamp in time
desire driven
from ignominious to sublime
 
looking for a flaw
you saw it all
 
disdainful injections of pain
palpable but pure
sugar no cure
as the wounds were already deep
 
you carried me and dipped me
gently into solemn waters
my pulp softened
my bark transcribed
your name etched upon my eyes
 
parchment peeled from within
words written of every sin
you forgave then forgot
 
I sit now upon your shelf
bound to no end
chapters closed as dust settles in
 
open me and let the fantasies begin
