Second skins peel into day
14 January 2016
Look at me
I reflect your face
Shining bright
Sketched in me
Your inks an invitation
To discover nights
See me through
Light’s mysteries flee
From my touch
Lurching sparks
I reach within owls’ feathers
Gathering fate’s quills
Whiff my scent
Pick up on the shards
Embalming
Preserving
Remnants of sunshine and ache
As I exhale dark
Smell me dry
Of memories might
Conserving
Observing
The scent of despair and hope
Heady wanderings
Voice me soft
I fall like caress
From your lips
To my wait
Where two and two make more else
A fusion of sorts
Scream my name
In tattoos that writhe
Through my scars
Like dewdrops
On your hair and shoulders’ curve
The moon will glisten
Listen now
I speak of Beauty
Love your heart
Bless your soul
There are landscapes in my mind
Where we fly like birds
Hear me out
I will convince you
Of lovers
Who wander
In desert plains bringing rain
Like the rolling moss
Sense me bare
With lust and toil’s care
Light me spleen
Luster sheen
A repetition of thoughts
Litany’s prayers
Sixth me flare
Where shadows lead way
Light dies thin
Hurt follows
Second skins peel into day
Bright with future’s rub
