Parched Streams


With her I ride into spheres timeless and spaces nameless
unwrapping the blindfolded fruit forbidden in Eden.
Burdened with the emptiness of a lie too loud to confess
this page would be torn sooner than it is written.

Clothes woven of arrogant pride are shed in thirst
nakedness shines draped in innocent-but-true skin.
Breath filled bubbles of lust float and burst
sap of wily lips bind fragility with an Iscariot’s grin.

Now, she has to return to him and I to my dreams.
For a moment, I turn back to stop her forever
when her culpable eyes hark back hopes vanquished by the parched streams.
We slide away from each other into the living time, and disappear.

I see an uneasy sexual relationship conceived as a solution to the issues at hand, which in turn fails to serve its purpose as it ends in posing the same questions it is supposed to have answered.
