Glass Lips

Lee Renard Caspian

Back again

Always back again

Right back here

Thought I left this behind

But here I’m back once more

 

What threw open the void?

Thought I was fine now

What have I done?

 

Was I too happy? Too careless?

Too myself?

Tempting fate with a smile

Whispering into the dark

A brazen challenge

 

My old lover returned

Holding too tight

Glass lips brush tender skin

Dripping with ink

 

I promised once I wouldn’t take him back

Promised to leave him behind

Now we fall back in bed together

Bodies tangled in the sheets

 

My mind was alone

My body on fire

The quiet caving in

Waves of lustful dissonance

 

You made me a contortionist

Twisted and bent out of form

Writhing in the harsh lights

    Powerful write Lee - an apt word is "contortionist" where vulnerablity thrives yet this is what happens when love takes a-hold. An engaging read.
