Truer Words indeed...

 A person

wrapped up in themselves

makes a very very

small package

Her Marble House

 Sitting on the temple steps

I dare not enter.

To defile the place of Venus’s presence 

Is truly the worst of crimes.

But how will she see me?

How will she know my name

And that my prayers go up to her

Every day

Every night.

Does she hear my cries? 

Here amongst the cold carved stone? 

No,

How could she?

Why would she?

In the end I am just a thing

A golem of vanity and envy,

Of hunger made flesh.

She her pick, 

Why then bring a leper into such a place

In and Out

 Love enters through the eyes 

And leaves the same way

But it is our virtue,

Character,

Soul,

Which keeps love there the longest

Little Bit of Lust

 Have you made me this way?

Hunger made flesh.

Those aurora eyes which sap my soul.

That marble smooth flesh

Which snaps me alight.

Chestnut hair and darker soul,

Innocent and devilish all at the same time.

Your lips were always destined for my neck

Just as your nails found a home in my back.

You are my insanity,

And I cannot stop wanting every inch of you.

Just simply to match all that I am

Is yours

Speechless

 What are you?

I think back to that first moment,

You were just a picture 

But still

You made me nothing but an inhale.

Rendered me dumb, speechless, devoid of anything that wasn’t you.

How lucky I am then

To feel that once again

Only ten fold

When I first stood in your presence,

Your soulful eyes squarely on me.

Yes, again 

I am without word or thought or breath,

That is what you are

And what you do.

How can I call that anything other

Than divine?

I say again,

What are you?

Mortals do not have eyes like that,

Or presence which stops the beating heart.

What are you?

Things

 If you have this…illness

There will come a time

When you run out of things

You can put between you

And you.

And there you are.

The shine has worn off the car,

The job,

The woman.

And there you are.

No longer do you have anything to grab onto,

There you are
