Fade

I lie with a lie thristy for she
fading as a hanging shadow is revealed
by morning light.
The moment aches
like his eyes, missing and green
weaning away from a sunbeam.

Abstraction is our today
mixing its sweet and sour juices
in all these can’t do’s and truces
melting as lyrics to song
like angered lighting
holding on to stone

Thorny chords sound and break
inside my anchored fist
See this face?
It doesn’t fade
It doesn’t desist
when it’s never even been kissed!

So be gone, like you came
quickly, heaving in need...
Before love boils over concrete
crown your queen and proceed
and save my face under lock and chains
for the next time you bleed.
