A Current Affair

A Current Affair

You flicker like an afterthought

Behind my wayward eyes.

Your heat defeats my throbbing thrill,

But still you tantalise.

Encrusted enigmatic wisps

Across your crawling lashes.

You’ve scoured skin to shredded shards,

In passion-driven rashes.

Your thighs are singing siren songs,

And sleepless I will slumber.

You twist a tainted treble clef

To leave my breath encumbered.

Your beauty is the dying art

Of bloodstained disarray.

I slide into soliloquies,

And live my life sideways.

Your lightning lips arterial

Fellate my faithlessness.

I’m brusquely burning broken threads

To bring you to undress.

I know too well this won’t end well,

For you, or me, or she.

But what she doesn’t know can’t hurt,

So hate me, hurt me, bleed.

At our climax my guilt attacks,

But guilt cannot be kissed

So I will fill my mouth with mud

And play the masochist.

My voyeuristic venom veins

Are vying for the win.

This creature likes the taste of pain.

So let the feast begin.
