Like the aged broken man I bend
Over this candle of paper
Burnings bled through emotional ink
Draining from my hunched heart
To waxily drop on yours
Hot and sticky words tapping your breasts
Clinging firm and caking while accepted
Your body warmed…
Cracking and flaking away
When passion’s passed
And the comfort sought anew
In different dreamer’s arms
To be passingly remembered
Hot and sticky feelings draining from your heart
As fingers brush your tenderness
My presence faded…
