An Experiment
cover me in your scented breath,
mythical creature, deem me worthy.
my heart is a cave. land-dwellers are welcome,
there is room for burying one’s soul.
deep in the belly of its darkness, find your imperfections,
find your excuses and fears.
here, in this fading fantasy, let me lure you.
the kettle will hiss, the tea will steep.
I will show you how easy it is to love . . .
isn’t that what you came here for?
to love me, then leave?
cover me in your scented breath,
mythical creature, deem me worthy.
make me bitter.

Holy shit, trE!! I mean… holy shit!!! I can’t even – oh my goodness – how did you – holy shit!!!
I’ll just say it; I wish I had wrote it. Damn you’re so good at emotional resonance and flipping turns and deep cuts.

I think it’s time for another collaboration. Lol. You’re amped and that’s great energy! If you’ve got something brewing, let me know.
And, thank you, Barry. Really. Thank you.

When I read this, I thought of dragons, princesses and long journeys in foreign lands full of magic (both the good and the bad). Love the assertive, slightly menacing tone, Tre.

It’s the combination of mythical creature, cave and hissing that made me think of dragons, which then made me think of princesses and journeys in foreign lands. 🙂 You’re always welcome, Tre.
