To Speak

A thousand ways I want to say
Upon my tongue the words at play
Declaring what is held inside
Watching as the words fly by
Spreading like ashes upon the wind
Settling upon your heated skin
My reality seeping into your veins
My thoughts, your cocaine

ReplyDeleteThe final three lines draw you closer and closer in, but the whole poem is so musical.
