"gemini/gemini"
for which he desired no answers
as i read his skin
traveled the maps of his life
his tongue was hungry
a hunger beyond lust
eyes that studied me, searched
for a window, a wound
unaware that this was new
his energy- electric and afire
until he fixed his gaze on me
the world slowed
through the smoke, the haze
into the mirror and back again
from the glare of the lights
to the glisten of sweat
he was larger than life
but this was not his truth
his eyes spoke in sonnets
of what he never uttered
searched, yearned
for someone to understand
a hunger no mortal thing can sate.

Brilliant. Delectable. The freedom of your cadence and soft assonant tones are lyrical and mournful.
We must discuss. I've some writings to share with you ...
