Brown

Brown

The dark fizz bottled up so long
Jerked tossed and turned around
Exploded on opening....
Drama everywhere...
In bubbly brown gazillions...
My dismayed face on pouring.

Red faced with guilt and discomposed
I served a silent glass.

Trails of cold snaking and beading my face.
Spotlights of gold tingling...

Disruption... Your legs carefully tucked in...
My cursory mopping up of the floor
Greedy for seduction.

Your eyes bent on mine burning twin golden holes
Right into my soul...
My chest hurts...the light didn't penetrate through
And leave me emptied and light.

Instead inside gathers a pool
of venomous momentum
Coiling, climbing, uncoiling, unsheathing
The darkness inside
A nakedness...

The scales of inhibition...were safety.

You drained your glass empty.
Mine unpoured.
I drank in a daze of intoxication from fallen eyes.

And the tiles underneath shaking falling...
So far away, unhinging my brick bound reality
Pulling out and away, the floors underneath...
Vast emptiness
Leaving my back
Uncovered.

No turning to take even a peek...
Anchored to your stormy eyes I fall
As yours glint wickedly
And take me in a leap...
