I Remember
By Gideon Lost
There is more of you
I wanted to Love
Than loved
I am inclined to Pine
For every part
And even part of your parts
From time to time
Lazily lustfully laughingly
I remember
Warmness in your mouth
Your pulsating salty sticky tumidity
Swaying-rocking rhythms
We shared
The ache and release
That came before you came
And then before you went
Leaving me to throb
At night
Leaving me to climb walls
Of worry and self doubt
A bar lowering
Horny lusty howl
Of regret
To sway-rock you away
And pass on the baton
To some poor soul
I need not hear howl
I remember.

What a shock of an opening few lines, and a shock of a closing. Every line is a familiar slap in the face and a shout in my head of, "I've felt this before! I know what this is like!" This is intensely beautiful and will stay close to my heart.
