She has her reasons for having me post this as anonymous but I think this is an amazing poem. I am hoping she changes her mind and lets me sign her name eventually. What do you think?
I wear the bruises on my skin
With a secret smile on my face
I know how I got them
I am reminded of the desire
Your touch scorched me…
Marked me
Leaving me desperate for you
Black
At first it hurts
As pain and pleasure do
But then it begins to fade
Until all I remember is you
Your hands on my hips
Lower until my breath shatters
Rising to find heaven
Blue
More noticeable with traces of color
The mirror cannot lie
And I wouldn’t ask it to
It makes me feel alive
our bodies dance
Over and over
Green
The tenderness is gone
But I still remember where it came from
I count the days down
Until I see you again
I want more
And you will oblige
Yellow
Once a kaleidoscope of color
Now just a hint of a memory
All but faded away
But I am not worried
They may be gone
But I still remember
You see…
I wear your bruises on my skin
With a smile on my face
A secret we share
A thin line we love
Always wanting more
