I was asleep at the wheel
motoring in circles on a corroded dream
you knocked me over with a roundhouse kick
Saying “don’t worry honey you won’t feel a thing”
.
Just a clueless knight in rusted armor
and a maiden in a dirty dress
awash in a storm of broken promises
that left us in this mess
.
let’s ride this cloudburst out together
ride like hell toward the breaking dawn
breathless and naked in the sweet morning grass
I will hold you in my arms
.
In the violence of our passion
I will pin your arms and broken wing
with my only superpower
I will look into the heart you hide from me
.
I will kiss you with fire, and fervor, and fortune
I will trace the tender beauty of your face
we will dance in the ruins of this world together
skin to skin in love’s riotous embrace
.
Dancing In The Ruins (a poem)
