I just want you for one night
need to run my fingers down your spine
one time
kiss your lips
for one lingering moment
controlling your time
and space
in this brief second
need to lay wrapped in your arms
talking that love talk
words that mean so much
then
quickly forgotten
in the morn's light
I just want you for one night
I know that you are not
really mine
need to borrow you
just for a moment's tenderness
banishing my solitude
in a self induced amnesia
feeling safe and secure
in our lies
for awhile
because once the night is over
you'll be gone
and I will be alone
with the memory
of our lies
from this physical ache
that follows me
in my dreams,
with walls cemented
and reinforced,
I turn away
shall I scry you up with a magical incantation
ink you onto bamboo with a fine calligraphic hand
etch you into scrimshaw after our nightly sojourning
forever immortalized?
when we laid, together
you see, this unbidden fire, it burned
inside
leaving no scarification
but a calcification of longing and hunger
the embers, they lingered
oh they lingered
inside
never doused completely
satisfied, merely momentarily
I have been burnt and branded
aroused and kindled
I am needing to scry you up with a magical incantation
ink you onto bamboo with a fine calligraphic hand
etch you into scrimshaw for endless nightly sojourns
forever immortalized
in me
