It falls to you
That place last night
Remembering a past life
The moment a chemical was released
Nicotine in the air
An Orgasmic coffee
The sip to stay up all night
Ruminating on your shape
The wetness of lips
And a pause of Sativa’s breath
The moon’s fullness desired you
Worshipping the instrument of my birth
It’s ok to die now
It’s ok to die
Sometimes
I can still remember
It’s hard to let go of such thoughts
To be obsessed with your repression
And maybe after my consciousness is gone
Then I will forget
But for now
It’s there
It’s always there
Your face reddened
And your body a map of teeth marks
Triangle etched on beauty spots
Strands of saliva dripping from nipples
Irradiated
Stares
Longing
Another cruelty
Summer brings a new style of fucking
Throat burns blue smoke
King of ash
Tap the last strain of smolder
Cum with certainty, and transcendence
Recreating myself on your belly button
An eyelash juts out
The thighs offer a refuge from the coldness
And these fingers will make contact
“You’re dripping deep oceans.”
Womb or watery depths
There is no dispersion of oxygen here
And no distraction of life
Just darkness
And whatever it is I am.

This is perfect, just perfect
Wow! Thank you so much, your comment made my day. 🙂
Mission accomplish
“You’re dripping deep oceans…” I feel you create such intimacy with the reader through your poetic voice.
I was recently thinking if orgasms are nothing but little deaths, from which we come back, perhaps unaltered or more humane. Who knows?
Either way, this is a fantastic poem. I may have died a bit when I read it… I hope it’s ok 🙂
It moves me a lot that my poetry resonates with you, and I’m able to communicate with you across time and space but also on a personal level. I think that should be the goal of art– just communicating a shared feeling.
You might be onto something, I think ‘little death’ is a euphemism for orgasms but also if you get gripped by ‘the sublime’. It’s like getting an indescribable feeling from a piece of art, song, movie or a book. I think if you get that it truly changes you.
Ha-ha, that’s okay by me as long keep on reading my stuff. 🤗
