As Life Closes In

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you. Can you keep up? Will it make sense? This is my attempt to try. you can talk to me too: smprice13@gmail.com

Let Us Have Tonight

I look into your eyes,

As they scream

All you are afraid to say.

Your lips tremble,

As you fall to your knees

And we do whatever,

Our mothers told us not to.

Mother pray for me,

As I have sinned—

Against my compromising

Smile,

Held close to your skin;

It offers security,

It offers (in)sanity.

So, let us turn out the lights,

I will find my way

Through the movement of your hips,

And the sounds,

Whispered to the undead.

Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm…

Close your eyes,

Open your mind,

Let us have tonight.
