The Flow of Wants

The Flow of Wants

~

I want to be your fantasy-

The hidden desire that suffocates at night

under the smooth touch of your fingers.

To be the unspoken name that lingers

between wet lips with wants your tongue

wipes away like a sip of sweet wine.

An arousing sense flowing down your spine

when images of flesh sweaty and tight

fills your daydreams in a sunny afternoon.

I want to be your full moon

with rising tides waiting to drown me

under wild desires flowing in your skin,

I want to be your fantasy and your sin-

I want.”

Dreams and Wine

Dreams and Wine

~

There is no transcendence,

dreams do not migrate south in the winter

but rather drown in a glass of cheap wine.

Sometimes is easier to declare defeat

and this restlessness quietly confine

to the corners of my lonely lips.

.

A heartbeat, all it’s left from the heat

of those fires that consumed me whole,

and a kiss, all it took to enslave

my free will and my soul.

.

What I give, what I gave

does not matter if dreams are frozen in time

and don’t migrate south in the winter

but just drown in a glass of cheap wine.

This Thirst

This Thirst

~

A question on the tip of my tongue burns

with anticipation, parting lips exhaling

words I won’t dare ask, it turns

to a kiss, barely brushing my wants

on this barren dessert leaves me waiting

while you smile and quietly part-

Vacant

Vacant

~

This cavernous space creates an echo

bouncing emotions against bared walls

that resonates in my heart,

loneliness rest on these halls,

where wandering ghosts freely roam

the empty spaces.

Red

Red

~

The color of a fiery sunset

after a summer storm,

it reemerges into passion

running through my veins.

It is seduction and pain,

adventure and fire born

from the ashes of deceit,

it is ice and heat

and everything divine

to which I surrender.

Too much red?

Never enough to outline

the shape of my wants

on your lips-

“red the colour of the rose

red the colour of your lips

red the colour of your tongue….

red the colour of your heart……

red the colour of your passion…..”

Blue

Blue

~

That blue,

a shade of sky

in an April morning

digs inside my soul

for forgotten dreams,

it provokes my wants

in seductive plays

stranded between lips

where the red betrays

her concealed desires

“I wish to stay drenched

forever

in those rain-blue eyes

in those…soul-reaching crystals

not moving a muscle

nor breathing

just

savoring

this turquoise ache

against my heart.”

A Butterfly

A Butterfly

~

Attraction is a butterfly

landing softly on your petals

on a sunny summer day,

it is you my piece of sky

calling me to spread my wings

across the blue in your eyes.
