he now wished
he’d gotten an earlier
taste—but was
already perishing
with languid
b r e a t h
just as he’d
swallowed
the very last
lyrical mouthful
of her poisoned

for she only had
killer words
to offer—
to be
licked and

dark chocolate

his sweet
and sultry
cabaret
s o i r é e
i lightly caress
the tip
of that mike
As if I was
about to sing
your yet unwritten
silent

instrument naked—
my voice
about to tickle
Your well-versed skin
and enticingly
bite on your
unsuspecting
earlobe
A mascara tear
drops
and blurs
the mirrored image of
our

coexistence
the one that will never
be read aloud—
same as my solo
will never ever get sung
it was
your one and only
a capella kiss
yet that night
you chose
not to

to my naked
notes
that bleeding
nightsong
