Stick out your tongue <br />and swallow the devil down <br />for we are his champagne <br />we are his cocaine <br />we are his red light requiem now <br />and we have it made <br />like Hennessy hangovers <br />succumb to our hands <br />our lips <br />our fingertips <br />take our blood <br />and mix it like chemicals <br />inhale the dust of our dried sweat <br />protect the lump in your throat <br />dip your fingers in the wet <br />and let the yearning build in the coore <br />let dilated eyes, <br />pearl grey in the sunrise, <br />roam the bodies on the floor <br />unfaithful voices <br />soft as smoke <br />waken as distant daylight blooms <br />the lips of strangers seal our wounds <br />and we sleepwalk into town <br />and strip our anger to the bone <br />we let the madness come in <br />and we feel the lightness and the beauty <br />as the high passes thru us <br />we were all in love <br />and we all got hurt <br />but we return often <br />and we remain taken <br />the blood keeps us in confidence <br />a covenant <br />one more night lost to our youth <br />to our beauty <br />we are snow-filled <br />and yet again <br />we swallow the devil down <br />we are his ecstasy <br />we are his treachery <br />we are his pornography now.<br /><br />Harlequin Rose<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beautiful-dirty-rich/
