Impending


Beneath scarf and tie,
Bristling brush,
I’m sensing your push,

Whispering unto nape,
Shiver and shake
I sense the smell you make,

Caressing sweetly,
Over bruises deep,
I sense the moisture seep,

Massages, kneading,
Tissues torn and dry,
I sense your lies,

I feel the signals,
Issuing their warning,

I sense the sounds,
The restlessness of morning,

I read the motion,
Of waves collapsing,

I hear the warmth,
Beneath your eyes

All lies, all deceptions,
Carefully crafted superficiality,
Entwined with intentions, tailor made décor,
Beneath the softness, lays a jagged floor

Impending,
Through the silence, in the paint,
The forest comes alive, the foliage wakes,
Moving are its branches; broken is the trail,
No time for sorrow; no chance to fail,
Impending doom will swallow,
As the night grows hollow,

Dreams laced with paper cuts
Nightmares infused with trust

  2. Mary, thanks for visiting, I'm glad you enjoyed this. Funny thing is I almost didn't include the last couplet. Was on the verge of editing it out a few times, but the more and more I read it I feel it really works. So glad I kept it in there now. Thanks again:)
