The Gift

It is not without pleasure that I so softly drown

 

In asphyxiation for your delight.

 

 

 

It is not without regret that upon locked gaze

 

Realization dawns that this is doomed by chance,

 

drawn onwards by fate in its twisted carriage with

 

death at its side as the last dreamers told of the ride which

 

I call a trance.

 

 

 

It is not without longing that I lie in your bed, immersed within.

 

The clattering of neighbors and summer encases, pushes me further into

 

the secret nest where I have come to intrude on quiet hours with my hunger.

 

 

 

It is not without denial that our mouths intertwine, with teeth and

 

Open palms for degradation’s eternity, mirroring mountain pose that imagines itself to be

 

Eternal within the blankness of a third eye blinded.

 

 

 

It is not without love that I pulsate to the rhythm of

 

Orgasmic intervals, casual bliss, in beaurocratic dreams which jolt me awake with their

 

captialist undertones and restless restraint,

 

For the last time, when I writhe in realization that the ropes we have tied slip.

 

 

 

In mutual exchange I offer you my bloody heart, ripped from my chest

 

Draining of its force in spasms of desire to

 

Live.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
