Guest Rustic Monk Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Kiss Me Again (And Let?s Forget This Ever Happened) Gabriel Duncan Your eyes He said They touch me softly My heart was pounding Booming inside my ears We laid Touching Side-by-side I said I never want to let you go Inside, I damned myself Less seriously But still I spoke quietly Evading His boyfriend?s ears For he, Though snoring To me, A fa?ade of peacefulness While we were both consumed In the flames Abandoned long ago While his fingers Traced patterns In the hair on my chest I stared at the ceiling Contemplating . . . What? I wondered, What did I do? . . . Lying with two. How? I digressed, How could this end? Tempting fate is bad enough But jealousy is worse And now I lay between the two And now I lay between the two Darkness offered little solace While I reveled in the naked embrace It seemed wrong now How easily It came to be It seemed wrong How gripping The desire How tempting The robbery No matter How or who What fault Or intent Or even if It was meant Even if it was wrong One night together Convinced my entire being In mid-day?s light My dream was realized No. I realized I could not wake up Even when my eyes were open And I could smell the shampoo in his hair My strongest waking recollection Was the taste of his soft lips If it were simple O! If only pleasure were true logic If happiness Was neither dependent On physical beauty Or intellectual colloquy Nor involved With the inherent attachment Forged by an almost Alchemical transmutation Of my body against his Quote Link to comment
