Tarnished Stains

I had forgotten

erotic body sculpture of you

seen through the prisms

of my stained glass eyes

your radiant smile

cutting deep into my soul

your pain and scars

imprinted indelibly on my skin

your rich vessel of hot,

lusty steamed sensuality

my arousal soaring

seagulls in flight.

My visions now encased

behind white fences

societal boundaries

refusing entry

into paths of need.

Hollow caged heart

yearning to escape and roam

weeping into separate dark spaces

keeping us apart.

I exhale and breathe

forgotten scent of you

trapped in my naked memories

of your moist ardor

when you wrapped

legs around my joy.

Our old promises burned

into smoldering ashes

inferno of dust blown

by the wind of fate.

Life snipped away

earthy beauty from my heart

as I watched you walk away

into the black wine sunset.

I knew that I had forgotten

that you are ingrained

forever into deepest recesses

of my essence

soiled smears

of tarnished stains
