A Shame

Did you know, as I did, that it was only instinct, darling?

and you worked it like magic

but so did I

I was

quiet, yet firm

kind and direct

my voice, solid and bold

and I didn't even have to smile

but you sure did 

sugar brown eyes 

I could've literally dived

right in

hip-width of a Greek goddess and you lifted your arms, tossed your hair and revealed the 

          flesh complimenting them

Well, we certainly know how to appeal to our base instincts, now don't we, darling?

Do you even know what the fuck

kind of dust you are kicking up?

I could fall beneath your palisades

and worship your beauty for days

and nights the two of us would do

we would drink of the rose 

and slice off the moon

I swear to the gods and every living thing 

our animal desires would light holy temple fires

a Dionysian cult would be revived

in an instant bringing all the fertility gods back to life  

but here's the thing

In a moment I walked away

went to the restroom to wash my face

and look in the mirror to see

my heart and brain

and they were completely blank

I mean, literally 

nothing, babe!

It's a goddamn shame
