Ante Meridiem

[Queen of Rain]

I lie softly naked
watch your skin
and taste your coming absence
(You don’t have to go)

But those are words
and like the silky darkness
They can’t be found in the morning

The breathtaking thunder and the erotic touch
in the lightings
flaming on the slow
movement of the two of us

And soon it will start raining
the sky will grow silent
And I will be alone

Pretend to sleep when you
collect your clothes and starlight
Wish I could whisper

(You don’t have to go)

[cry,crayola.]

i like this. you've set up a nice, exotic almost, image. i think 'you don't have to go' should be italicized instead of put in ( ). i think it may just help the look of the poem and make it have more of an added afterthough sort of a deal.

i actually reading it again, really really like this.

Originally it was in italics actaully.. but so many poetry sites doesnt allow you to use italics.. so i changed to parenthesis..

really glad you liked it!
