long living the new flesh by *YouInventedMe:iconYouInventedMe:





she walked away
from all the best
parts of me

what magicless
talents
my fingers
forget

and now
how I long
to drape
myself in
sin

to sup
eternal

resurrect
sans regret

let her bless
my body
with those
slow hands

let my
conscience
grow quiet
and my memory
dim

I'll regress
in darkness
warm with
feeling

night's intent
I'm half
committed
to(o)

never seeing
light
again

I actually met james woods
when I was living in los angeles
and got to tell him
how great I think he is

the only
emf song I remember is 'unbelievable'

"resurrect / sans regret"

Don't expect me to say anything to that.
:iconr-mitchell:
this is really precious. gentle, dark, moody, sinister, superb.
:iconqueen-of-marigold:
Makes me think of vampires... in a good way, seductive and dangerous and just a little bit sad?
What else can I say, I always love your poems.
