Into the Void, Act II: The Missing Ones, Chapter 1 - Carnal Memories



Looking upon the past
Through rose-tinted glass....

I want to feel your lips against mine,
To taste your tongue with mine,
To feel your heartbeat in sync with mine,
Our harmonious rhythms keeping the time
As your hands glide across the dance-floor of my back.

Meeting mind to mind,
Your arms wrapped in mine,
Our fingers intertwine,
Then yours paint designs across the canvas of my back.

Then I'll rip off my clothes,
And you'll claw at my skin
Until my heart is exposed
To drain all the love that's within.

(I was but a child when I first fell victim to your smile
And it's been haunting me ever since)

The greatest lie
We're never told,
Never spoken,
But already sold.

What if you find
What you're looking for?
Will you be satisfied,
Or will you need more?

I am a university student from Texas, and a bit of a closet-poet. Perhaps I should keep it in the closet, but I am interested in getting feedback on some of my poetry. Let me know what you think! I used to write a lot of poetry when I was a little kid, but eventually lost interest as I got older. I started writing poetry again as a form of art-therapy during a really hard time in my life. I like to try to experiment with different styles and strange metaphors. Understandably, this can make some of my poetry less accessible at times, but occasionally I feel like it pays off. more…
