By me
Date: 14 October 2000

Mine

throw me into the depths of devastation
 with your lips of silk
 and kisses of caramel
try to mollify the rain
cry for me in your reverie
 of golden fire
  and silver raindrops
calming the storms
 in your heart
awake, reaching for me again
those saline tears
 burning down my face
trickling, bleeding
 through this world of loneliness
the colors, the voices
 hidden by the darkness
stiletto red scratches
 won't bring back the sun
  and the stars
not yet
