Dragon's Kiss

Blazing bright
lamppost lights
glaring brilliant yellow
torrent in this
haphazard alley

You lean,
lazy shoulder on the
nasty old red brick
pulling a long
death-breath drag
off the skeleton fag.

Bastard!
Hadn't seen you in days
Months....
Years...
and I didn't miss your rotten face
 

yet
 

there you are...

......Temptation

 

With your luscious lips
held loose
around that cancer stick.

I can think of better things for them to do...

You drag another...
and look at me sideways
out of your dark suspicious eyes

You know what you do to me.

There you lean
lazy shoulder on the
worn out red brick
pulling a long
death breath drag
off the skeleton fag

My heals clack the tarmac
loud disjointed awakening
deceiving the tempo of
my heart beats.

Bastard!
hadn't seen you in...
who cares how long.
Didn't need you here

Not now!

But there you lean,
lazy shoulder on the
weary old red brick
pulling me to you...
a night bug to the zapper
fuzz lamb to the butcher

I didn't care, don't care!!!
Your eyes no longer
side step dance,
with me in front of you.

Still, there you lean
lazy shoulder on that
subtle red brick
pulling a long

 

I snatch that nasty cig
from out your mouth
finish that thought

as embers strike wet asphalt

 

And I claim those lips!
We share the smoke
A dragon's kiss,
long and fiery.

Bastard!
Hadn't seen you in
too long
didn't need you here.
