lost nights

lost in the dark, tangled in silken threads 

wrapped warm wet kisses 

meshed with chapped lips 

harvested in the bud of spring 

streamed with tears of fragile fears 

shivering cold frozen 

winter chills 

summer heat 

mixed with sping thrills 

lukewarm 

honey 

dripped 

lips 

sweet effervescent

light 

wafting through the lonely corridors 

of waking dawns 

a stony broke heaven 

a cruising ocean 

a wave of emotions 

rippled 

sheets 

tangled threads

entangled hands

warm hearts 

stalking streetlights 

moving cars 

cracked window 

whisper voices 

pulling moans 

suffocated 

heat 

foggy 

walls

paint 

striped 

laced 

underwear 

interlocked 

in strangers 

cotton 

glass tears 

shatter 

the

childish 

sleep 

of the neighbors 

a catcall 

home 

she leaps 

out 

of 

bed 

and tightropes 

home 

slumped 

and drunk 

piled

with tears 

all because 

she was scared to sleep alone
