Graveyard Coffeehouse

Whispered Promises

---

Snowflakes
Descended
Outside
Falling down
Swiftly and inexorably
Dusting the frigid
Black pavement
Lily white
Blanketing
Virgin snow
Within a canopy
In the morning
We lay
Naked in bed
Alone
With our thoughts
Counting time
Distance
Rhythm
Rhyme
Measuring the poetry
Of making love
Dancing like demons
In the pit
Of damnation
Twisting in the sheets
Pounding
To an orgasmic beat
Disinterring
Tortured moans
Ghosts of eroticism
Last night's passion
Pleasure
Pain
Etching it in technicolor
On a pallid canvas
Tracing
Long red stripes
On your back
With my fingers
Admiring
Large cherry welts
Light blue bruising
On your succulent breasts
Voluptuous ass
Staring
Into the eternity
Of your eyes
Focusing
On your radiant smile
Seeking
To stop time
If only
For an evanescent moment
Holding you
In my arms
My lips
Pressed sensuously
To yours
In a passionate embrace
Slow
Deep
Wet
Tongues entwined
Holding on
To a twisted memory
A beautiful lie
Kisses
Encased in amber
That will never
Grow old
Never Die
Living forever
In the graveyard
Of my mind
Illusions
Surviving
Like shadows
Dreams
That return
In the Night
Whispering promises
Before
Fading into darkness
Like snow
Changing
Into cold rain
I love you
Becoming
Goodbye
Frigid tears to numb silence
Echoes and oblivion
Once
Again.
