Deadly Kisses
Darkness swallows my soul
bittersweet and unfulfilled it cries to heaven
silent clouds that cannot hear
angels turn a deaf ear
who can listen to the same angry call
keening it's pain on and on
without going a little deaf
This is not the all-out rage of passion
the surging waves that rise up and up again
overwhelming and stormtossed, no
this sorrow creeps quietly in like an assassin
lays down next to you in bed
curls about your body
holds you close
like a lover who cannot let go
whom you cannot run from
deadly kisses to lull you
soft words which drift into the deepest places and sit
rotting
eating away at the edges of your last
thread to life
silent and soft
deadly and dangerous
unable to stop it coming
because it is never seen
it just is
