The Hundredth End (Free verse) by versus_u
When the dusk spitted forth your egocentric air I plotted against the waters to resume a game of mindless sensation To reward the senses with free verses and haikus And alleviate my instinctive pain Down under And when the next dawn showered my kisses through a glass wall With your face on the other side And your lips locked on its opacity To let this blood ooze again in your embrace I will never know Because down under My kisses will remain but a patch in your memory And my pen only a brush of crimson in your book To steal dots and mimic lines For me to hold you again despite the wall With your face on the other side.

Up the ladder: The Saddest Part
Down the ladder: behind the banister

I like a few individual lines in this, especially "To steal dots and mimic lines."
I assume "down under" refers to "inside," but I can't help seeing it as a sexual reference in this context.

I imagine this being written more than six years ago, and it is... how much you were of a grown up then in your own universe, and how you are still growing in this... been a while, dear.... hope you are fine.
