Frozen Pictures

Frozen pictures
Behind broken glass
Imprisoned
For an evanescent moment
In frames
That were not fit
To contain them
Shattered memories
Shards of hopes
That twinkle
And fade
Fall to the floor
Crashing to oblivion
Obliterated fragments
Of a dream
Nightmares
That haunt
In the black
Tortured moans
Grunts
Sighs
Never leave
Remaining
Like sign posts
To tomorrow
Lessons
That admonish
Taunt
Like ghosts
Of her kisses
Full soft lips
Pressed to mine
Tasting damnation
Ecstasy
Salvation
Slow
Deep
Wet
Holding
Her voluptuous body
Dangerously close
Full breasts
Pressed
To my hard muscled
Chest
In erotic
Lascivious embrace
Her sensuous curves
Like phantasms
Mocking my hands
Idle
Waiting
For an illusion
That will never
Return
Buried in a cemetery
Of my mind
In a sealed casket
Six feet under
Fantasies whisper
Still
At night
Like flickering
Candles
In the wind
Dancing devils
On the wall
As you make love
Remember me
Frozen pictures
Say
And I do
Still
Picking up
Crystalline dagger
Fragments
Off the floor
Recalling
The promise
And the tragedy
Of train wreck love
Fondly
Walking the razor's edge
In bare feet
Feeling the deep cut
Of betrayal
Recalling
Her wicked smile
Swaying hips
In the darkness
Frozen pictures
Locked away
In my heart
Entombed
Shadows
Of yesterday
Visions
That will not die
Ivory white incisors
That bite
As love
Passes away
Beautiful lies
Refusing to go
Quietly
Into the Night
Awakening me
As I sleep
With an ear piercing
Residual
Scream.
