I marry the bed <br />When thoughts of you surround me <br />Drown me <br />Lost in an ocean of locked doors <br />Behind closed curtains <br />Through rays of sunlight <br />My ears hear the sight <br />Because my eyes are closed tight <br /> <br />A what a picture it must be <br />Stretched out and tied tight <br />A groan <br />A sigh <br />Why wait for night <br />When the hunger burns bright <br />At any given moment <br /> <br />In dreams you haunt me <br />A life you wont have us lead <br />During wakeful hours <br /> Thoughts of you plague me <br />A fantasy of things that wont be <br />And I feel like I’m only chasing an empty dream <br />But there’s a scream <br /> <br />It’s one my heart knows well <br />It’s something like an ocean swell <br />Crashing on the rocks <br />It’s a cry of release <br />I only give when the house is empty <br />Funny, how is it that is sounds <br />Similar to your name <br />Even thought you’d never hear it <br /> <br />And the quakes are nice <br />But the dreams are hazy <br />And I prefer them that way <br />So I don’t partake in more <br />Than my fair share <br />When the bed and I <br />Meet <br /> <br />These metaphors are blunt words <br />Disguised in pretty gowns <br />I wont be spelling it out <br />My intentions are always sound <br />Thought this pass around <br />I’ve just grown into my skin <br />A bit more <br /> <br />And I wonder <br />Are you a screamer <br />A dreamer <br />A sigh <br />A call <br />Or shout <br />Does your heart make a sound <br />When you reach that peak <br />Or are you silent all throughout <br /> <br />I can imagine the sudden blush <br />I’ve never been this explicit <br />But you’re exquisite <br />So let the wine <br />From your bottle of womanhood <br />Flow <br />I want to taste Eden <br />Even if it means burning in Hell <br /> <br />I’ll be there in a short whiles time <br />To taste ambrosia so fine <br />The Gods and mortals line up for alike <br />Cause a being of beauty is divine <br />But your something from lore <br />Full of magic <br />A means to an end <br /> <br />So tonight I divorce the bed <br />Marry patience instead <br />And wait for your go ahead<br /><br />Alejandro Torres<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/release-30/
