Your melt in my mouth melanin lingers
Like the bitter after-taste of longing
I keep searching the contours of my skin
For the remnants of your kisses –
The atlas to my dotted line desires.
Tongue like a felt tip pen
You bleed through my flesh
And stain the innermost
Like a ghost
Phantom touches on my chest.
Where did you go?
Midnight imaginings tick- tick- ticking the time away
As I create your vision in the mezzanine of my mind
Crayola dreams
‘Cause when I think of you, I tend to wax-poetic
But this mosaic of memory falters on the precipice
So I let my eyes lay in the darkness a little bit longer
And feed this hunger
To the resonating rhythm of a heart drummed beat
Where did you go?
Tiptoeing thoughts maraud my body
Snatching emotions from the depths
Hopes crash against my lashes
And lights ricochet off the lens
The sky raises its diadem, mocking a defeated night
And I sense my soul’s mutiny wading in the waters
Waiting
Waiting
Where did you go?
