You creep up on me
An inveterate stalker
A ghostly presence
A firefly somnambulist
(Shadowing its prey)
You wrap me up
(A Christmas treat)
In sunflower petals
An itinerant limpet
Squeezing me senseless
You take me down
And bleed me until dry
Subcutaneous showers
(That eventually leave me)
Drained and serendipitous
Now we entwined
Seek a sunlight sojourn
(In darkness we are)
A tattooed compromise
Until morning arrives
I write a lot of poems, some from my head, some from my heart. Many don’t appear on this website. For more of my poetry, check out The All or the Nothing, my first e-book, available at most online book sellers.

Oh my. I had to read this three times. So good. The word choices are very very good.

Thanks so much, Tara! Some poems just call for fancier words. This was one of ‘em. It’s just because my French is limited to “Can I have a kilo of pineapples, please?” lol 🙂

“Je voudrais un kilo de ananas, s’il vous plait.” My high school French does wonders for my romantic side. NOT! 😉
