velvet ease

Kiss where ink and flesh align,

carved to summon touch.

Skip the space between my lips,

spewing oaths of love.

You feed me want— then starve me dry.

A feast of glances,

content to give— but never take what’s mine.

I ache to make you crave my touch,

to need me as I need you, just

let me be your hunger—

not your haunt.

I can read you raw,

Trace your ritual of ruin,

Embrace decay in every tease,

Slip beneath your skin with a velvet ease.

My soul remembers every lie—

when you devoured

what was once mine.

    in the dead of night

    There’s a flower growing in the dirtiest of pits,

    Rotting in the sewer,

    Mildew seeping from the grate— untouched,

    Bypassed by those who don’t stop to wait.

    Buried,

    A wisp of a wish— restless,
