than that colder, lowly light—
none has felt less right
as your lips glide over mine,
synchronized; a most bitter wine.
can one help thoughts held
deep into the night, conscience quelled?
liberal drops of oil [filth-riddled liquid]
leak from your mouth to mine, our lip lock insipid.
my interest gone, displaced at first touch—
your lips now a feckless crutch;
sorry my dear…
it seems my passion has yet to appear.

Matchstick
irreplaceable yet unnecessary
leave me in your retrospect
where you found me, unwanted & with a question mark over my head
or a Matchstick, maybe
I'm the fire you started &
couldn't put out
the one you doused &
the One you'll freeze without.

the in-between of love, buds- so full of potential
our love is written in whispers on the pages
of a book which has not yet been opened.

that day, the sun had erased the last lines
of an unforgiving winter from my skin, i was renewed
olive skinned and feeling as if i had just fled the eternal
garden naked as i came- free, fallen.
--
the sky was dark;
nothing but the blood red smile of the moon
cut through the transient darkness of the night.

This is really great! It is like the moment when a love story has suddenly gone cold and nothing the two do will ever resurrect what they once had. Really lovely rhyme scheme!
