Art By: Ines Honfi
You drifted into my heart
Like a secret
Like the rain sobbing softly
On an otherwise vacant day
I would never knowingly
Refute love but then again
How was I to perceive
Your intrusion
When advancement
So oft signifies war?
*
Virtuous,
I held you
Contemptuously
Between the furrows
Of disdainfully drawn brows
You held
Against your lips,
The pale veins,
Of a reticent fist
My heart rose
Red and indignant
Yours like the sudden growl
Of advancing thunder
*
Against the dissuasion
Of retreating hips
You managed still
To swallow, consummately,
My breath
In every moment since
I have adorned you,
In every drop of blood,
In every cell,
In every cloud
Above which dreams
Are childishly kept
