His voice was like honey
Just like honey just like honey
Silence
Until he speaks
Infinite.
To interrupt
Would be to shoot the sun
Before it rises
A touch
A thumb to a wrist
An electric shock
Fortuitous?
Heart beating
Goosebumps rising
Peach fuzz stabbing
It hurts.
Lips stained
Cherry wine
Sweet like blood
Addictive
White skin
Black eyes
The most beautiful eyes
They match his soul
Let me in.
The day before that day
Marks our first encounter
We met on the edge of a bridge
Making love on the edge of a bridge
It died with us.
It was only water
It hit me hard
My emotions hit me harder
Fog blocking my naked body
And his heart
A plastic toy
Or thin air
I would rather be a body
Than a stranger
I’m the thread
You’re the needle
I break
You stab-
Sharp cold quick.
Coming back to you
Is the easiest thing to do.
A voice just like honey
A heart of a hive
To taste those sweet lips
Is to be eaten alive.
Just like honey
But bees sting.
