If You Are Looking...

You can find me

Beneath the underbrush

That used to be the face of a man



In the empty arms

Of he who once had

Held the world in the palm of his hands



Behind the eyes

That have slowly blurred

The lines of passion and pain



In the scars that

Have tainted the minds

Which have lived and loved in vain.



I have been

Bound and beaten

Broken by the lost embraces



Of hearts of gold

And embers alighting

The forever smiling faces



That are now

Buried deep inside

The shadows of my memory



But linger on my tongue

And fire bullets down my throat

In bitter agony charging like cavalry



Exploding with flavors

That tickle the forbidden fancies

Held dearly by my ever growing appetite



As my hunger for you

Cannot be buried in your tomb

But dances before me in plain sight.



You can find me

Nestled sweetly between

The blankets of Heaven and Hearth



Gazing at stars that I

Myself had once ridden

Freely among the gracious hearts





That have

Seen me fall

From the highest graces



Peering through their

Silver frames with loving eyes

Upon their taunting silver faces.



Yet I have fallen

Faster than the bullet that has

Ripped the vigor from my chest



As I long for the

Heavenly embrace that

Flows from your ever living breast.
