Chapter 8 - For Your Eyes Only

I sent you a secret wrapped in skin,

And shades of cocoa, Earth bound melanin.

I sent you flowers caressed in silhouettes,

A garden known to your familiar eyes.

I think I heard you gasp, your lips sucked

Your breath , still your gaze locked

On the screen, it felt like Heaven and Hell.

Did my name slip between your teeth,

Half a curse, half a prayer, bitter sweet.

Did your eyes walk backwards to moments

Uneclipsed, your hands, my garden, delicious torment.

Did your breathe pause, stranded in your chest

Like a miser, knee deep in a debris of debt.

Did your nostrils forget to exhale.

Tell me, Love

How long did you stare

Before you touched yourself.
