In Love With A Poet

By kiss of the dark

Freely going into
the depths of you
once again...

Surrounded by the dust,
swimming in the thorns
that rip into
the nostalgia and
broken smiles.

I put you in the box,
and had hope that you would
dissolve.

The photographs,
the poems,
the love letters...

You were my faultless seraphim;
My poetic disaster.

In my dreams,
I put the black and ivory keys
In my hair.
And watched your fingers dance
Within my sepia locks.

Lurid tendencies,
Immaculate haunting...

I was in love with a poet...

...a dangerous extreme

Involuntary suicide.
