MEANT

Midnight, alleges all
     Everyone says darkness
Numb
     Asleep
In their nucleus
     Cozy in bed
Intimation tender
     Whisper sweetness
Pricks the ear
     Heard
Foul-mouthed
     Dirty worded
Interjections
     Intrusions
Always eluded to
     And meant

HAUNTS

She evanesces in and over me
on this languishing memory
Kaleidescope again transient her
ghostly recollections hands blur
Just a mutated piece of my fragmented mind
distorting in and gossamer bind
Forgot how to remember the writhing cause
her brevity in shroudy gauze
Like warped vines her twisted arms wrangle with me
am I sharp enough to cut free
Trystful interlocks reminding me vacant
moody eruptions of augment
Like fuzzy laughter in the spirited sun
animal feelings one on one
I can almost grasp her mercurial light
but unable to hold on tight
Chimerical skin fiery to the touch
with only a vague wisp to clutch
Vanishing cold now reality iy mocks
sated with tepid aftershocks
Shadow puppets and ephemeral charades
I surmise at the barricades
But I need a nonexistent ladder
or to see her again uncover
