Drake Brayer
A golden smile, a gilded mane
Soft sunlight, the smell of rain
Singing eyes, the sirens' call
Smiling still, despite the fall
Halo of light, suspended still
Golden flight, yellow daffodil
Porcelain skin, pale as the moon
A vision of life, in the afternoon
Drenched in sun, light and tears
Her gilded lips, are drawing near
indigo dusk spreads across
inexhaustible country sky
torn wet clouds stretched blue at twilight
a big-chested wind comes howling off the lake
dissecting our immortal kiss
as the pink sun meets her planet-doom
leaking on my balcony like a falling curtain
blessed with an affinity for moonlight
lingering drinking pale wine
we took baths in lukewarm vanity

she is a long legged sorceress smoking a cigarette
half awake because i've got the covers again
goose bumps crowd onto her little bare *******
dewy legs sliding among mine
rousing my bones and heart alert
as the bright sun dances silent
like a new carnation dragged from bed
bringing a giant unscrambled sunrise
across my section of heaven's blue sea
but is mercifully eclipsed by the cream-skinned
breast of a purified failed angel
exploring the feather-soft mountain of my body

we drank cointreau in the early morning
against the collage of saxophones
expanding among criss-crossing body odors
and thin magic on my lipsticked neck
i'm gaining strength over my neuroses
all my fear and doubt disappears into joy
no longer huddled in paper misfortune
reintegrated with ecstasy
in the smoky labyrinth of her eyes
as her fingers light as dreams
draw complex patterns in the flesh
of my back and buttocks
like secrets written on wet paper
none of it       was            real        before          this           moment

bones
Please will
you pull
all my poems
apart
whichever way
you think
is best
I don't care
if you pull
at them gently
or hard
I just
want to be
undressed
Deep fear fills my chest,
You didn't seem like the rest.
You gave me a chance to hope,
Until you handed me the rope.

You destroyed my every emotion,
Despite all of my devotions,
And I loved you the best I could.

I now turn and walk away,
I never expected to see this day.
The day where I am so alone,
The day I wonder, I walk, and I roam.

As time passes my heart will heal,
I will cautiously remember to feel.
Over time I will forget,
All the pain, the troubles and regret.

My life is now back to the way that it was,
Before I met you and became your lost cause.
I appreciate the experiences you gave to me,
But I will forget you completely in
..One
..Two
..Three.
I wrote this about a breakup with a girl I was with for almost two years. It has been about a month, and although she is still in mind, I am over her and my life is back to normal.
