Helium Ballerina
Words by Bryon Bowers
coldness seeps into my blanket
hairs on my neck slowly rise
ceramic's orange glow
a living pulse from the wall
heat evenly spread on my face
It's colder than most nights
because I'm missing your touch
you've gone away
a better place
missing your lips
the taste of you in the dark
a raw hunger within my body
needs you
warm waters now cold
cold waters turned tired and old…
the way you put your hands on your hips
the purse of your lips
hands explore
my body does implore
of you more
you are gone to my world
ceramic orange glow…
melting eyes into face
I can still feel your fingers
dancing like helium ballerinas
across the hairs of my arm
a nibble on the ear
wrapped up in you
your control complete over me…
a lonely boy
sits in a cave
at the edge of the Universe..
soft orange glow
heat on his face
waiting for his helium ballerina
