How To Say Goodbye
She is the one time’s eyes cannot forget even my
Nose betrays this obsession her my dreams
Sketch in caramel complexion a Rembrandt
Oil painted blood and bone my brush her
Death resurrected and every slumber obliges a
Kneel before her lips my back contorted in
A bow to worship them as my Sun Goddess
Seventy-nine Virgin Muslim combined
Amazing faceless Venus sunset at thirty-three
Thousand feet above your smile owns a sinister
Promise honours to steal your eyes from my
Grasping at straw shadows lost in a pause
Between our bodies of words these prayers
Her body teaches itself to never remember the
Reception making love to her on the maw of
Death that Gentleman Grim Reaper masks
As our bridal bed though still she doesn’t
Know my name an insignificant appendage I
Am only husband to a Moon Goddess and
When we pray she swallows my cosmic
Dust our bodies earthquake to volcanic torture
Appears in rear view mirrors till a calm spell
Is cast by Merlin himself now I beg the
Sand man to keep me in his prison for only
In my dreams this Aphrodite reminisces with me
As her lover in the land of eye lids spread I
Am her whoring Adonis loved only by sunshine’s
Tongue speaks of my attraction to her unholy
Is it not yes but I am weak a man taken over by the
Scent of her touch her toes haunt my imagining
Fingertips whispering to my memories they
Only know how to say goodbye…
