Your Body is My Poetry

By Mylissa

I read your veins today
and decided I love you.

They are nightingales that
sing in a blistering moonlight.

Like the taste of your skin,
you exceed my expectations
stitching words that stain my lips frozen.

I am tender at times…

though at this moment
I feel only seething obsession.

Addiction.

I want to own your bones.
skeletal seduction. manipulate
your pupils into body poetry.

Nail my tongue
to the wounds that
line a seductive sound.

I will make you my art, framed for eternity.
