A white thick fog arose as I looked out the window <br />My dark-rimmed eyes cursing the lack of rainbows <br />Wishing…wishing for one last sweet rendezvous of what used to be <br />Videos of African rhythms that gripped my spirit <br />Bracketed hips that swayed <br />Back and forth <br />Hypnotic eyes lusting for the flesh <br />His dark flesh <br />Such a diplomatic pattern that showered me <br />Held me <br />Wrapped my legs around his body <br />Glittering dark trinkets of my mind <br />Reminding me of what was once fed <br />Is now a world of famishment <br />Slowly dead <br />And I grumbled and ranted <br />Vile language of my mind <br />No proof of love in this establishment <br />No evidence of his floodwater <br />For he sucked me dry leaving me to die <br />With bed sheets thirsty for a beam of spotlight <br />Can I at least stand upright and see a sunrise? <br />Obscene were his lies covered in the papillae of his tongue <br />Saliva of a fabricator with foolish speeches <br />Believing he could save me from past obesity of heartbreak <br />And I swallowed hard his bit of food still left in my tongue <br />Began to feel cold as I looked up at the skies <br />Bowing at me sympathetically <br />Listing malicious homicide of bleeding clouds <br />The denouncer of love <br />Apparent, illuminating my nights <br />Love had lingered out the door <br />Leaving me with dust and smoke to inhale <br />Asthmatic road twitching my nose <br />No doves circling in the air <br />A tribe of crows shrilled <br />Piercing my winter’s merry go round <br />With the wounds he left behind <br />(c) 1/2006FaceButter<br /><br />Face Butter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bleeding-clouds/
