Another Spoken Word Poem
{I don't think you can hear me. Maybe if I whisper it soft and slow in your ear. Maybe if I scream right out loud.}
Dear Lady, Woman, Baby,
Set your eyes on fire,
Kiss moonlight, moonshine, until you're drunk
And you stumble
Onto me.
Heartshake, heartbreak.
Opium kisses and candy hearts.
You talk like a stranger.
Do you speak their language?
Their tongue and yours combined?
Fuel for breath.
An iridescent oil that slips through your hands,
And onto broken piano keys.
Play a melody for me, will you?
My jukebox has forgotten the tune.
Dear Lady, Woman, Baby,
Set your eyes on fire,
Kiss moonlight, moonshine, until you're drunk
And you stumble
Onto me.
Heartshake, heartbreak.
Opium kisses and candy hearts.
You talk like a stranger.
Do you speak their language?
Their tongue and yours combined?
Fuel for breath.
An iridescent oil that slips through your hands,
And onto broken piano keys.
Play a melody for me, will you?
My jukebox has forgotten the tune.
