Know this

You see, I want only what's inside 
The absolutely dark side 
The part no one really gives a fuck about 
The part that even you would discard 

And if you rip yourself open 
And hand it over 
With all the blood, veins, and the secrets 
I will drink it till my soul is stained 

I will cut away the lies and stories 
Sever the masks of iron 
That you wear so passionately 
Remove it all - layer by layer 

So understand this 
I want nothing of the good 
Just the dark spots, the ugly corners 
To be the star of this miserable tragedy 

Coffee

"Of all the men I've had, the only one I remember is the one who stayed back for coffee, each time," she said to him. "That is sweet," he replied. 

"It was more than sweet. I don't know how to make coffee to save my life, or anyone else's for that matter," she said. 

Carnal

Fuck me. Close your eyes, or don't close your eyes.
In the dark, or in the light.
No one cares. No one's watching.
Our fingers locked, there's no way of
Telling them apart.

But our lips are different.
Yours gentler, smiling, curious.
Mine, just hungry.
And, like a gourmet meal set before me 
I taste you. All of you. 

There are no deadlines, and we have nowhere else to be. 
Therefore darling, tonight, just fuck me. 

Dark love

The funny shadows became the empty pages
She had been looking for a while
As the lamp burnt timidly in the corner
She wrote the verses in her mind

He touched her face and her hair
And she saw him through closed eyes
When their bodies came together
Like a storm on a listless night

He didn't say anything, he didn't have to
She smiled occasionally at his face
And whispered a prayer now and then
And silently begged for him to stay

But he got up and left, every time
Making no promise to return
But come back he did, into her arms
And she wrote poetry again, as they entwined

please

Buy the groceries, and make the dinners

Pay bills on time; collect her from work

Surprise her with a whatever carat ring

Walk by the river, talk about the future

Say something funny; agree with her 

And as swiftly as you do, drink all the wine 

Live with her, smile at her, cry with her

Give her your hopes; give her your dreams

Give her everything that you’d give to me

Call her, text her, or leave her a note

Make exotic plans; have those babies 

Just don’t touch her the way you’d touch me

Amnesia

I thought of the five funny videos

That still remain in my inbox

Watch them, you had said

And I had forgotten.

Tonight, I will for tonight I must

Or else tears will stain the sheets

You aren’t coming home

Because you also forgot.
