The Stinging (Free verse) by Mona Lisa
I oiled in the slick of her.
Tracing my hands where lips fell
like jailed Casanova.
I am naked as my journal
quill eyed and silent,
Incapable of joy.
My body's a masterpiece
of scratches and whispers
that scream to be heard again.
She sleeps in a steel wasp
by a window seat next to honeyed skies,
and I am left stinging
In a silent satin hive.
A wedding veil of sky
will one day fall like we did,
and we will dull stars,
as we shine amongst lost worlds.
