Remember Words

 

I choke

On the acrid taste of shame

As I ache with no regret

For a man

Who never knew my name

I was flesh to him

Fantastic in my whims

Wiling away minutes filling

Mouths with promises

With black lashes fashioned, coy

Good girl, bad bad boy

Caught hard like candy

Clicking against my teeth

Reach, reach, reach

Arms stretched

Pressed

Against hot skin in front of me

My own fingers

Fingering his teeth

Smooth, slick, please

Tumbling hushed

As he sucks

Index drawn in

Fingerprints singe his tongue

Climax sings

Through veins

Strained against my lips

Come quick

Figure this

All out

Down

Back, forth,

More more 

Dim lights cast shadows

Black magic

Across floors

Muscles struggle

To maintain

He takes

Handfuls of hair

With surprising care

Under hands made hard

By long nights

In this unforgiving

Life

But I like

The danger he invites

Teeth sheathed

Careful

Honey bites

In heavy doses

He closes

Heavy eyes

Sighs

Something

I can’t quite

Make out

Louder now

He begs

Chords of muscle

Play against

His legs

Tremble

As he tries

To find

The bed

I’m good

No…I’m the best

He spills the words

Red

Like wine

Drunk off

Our hours

High off our lines

As they cross

Sweet

Keep

Me

Open only

If you’re going to

Bury your secrets deep

Inside of me

Inside we weep

Bodies folded over

Molded closer

Melting of our heat

He measures

With disturbing precision

Strokes that provoke

The most sterling

Of visions

As his hands reach low

Between us

---Please no

But he does

Touches

Tender

With wet fingers

My teeth clench

And I

Die

The greatest death

Reduced to cinders

As he delivers

The final blows

The world goes

Black as a sinners soul

And quickly

Exposes

The hopes

That he wishes

He kisses

The place behind my ear

And whispers

Please

Stay

Here

And I in vain

Desperately

Do  

My best

To remember his name

To remember his name

With no regrets

I choke

On the bitter smoke

Of regret

How easy it is to forget

In the absence

of my shame 

How easy it is to forget 

To simply 

Remember his name
