Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

my love has black hair i know it because i have felt in my hands let it hang from my fingertips felt her naked toe on mine like two snakes we wind i have felt her heart beat i know it because i slept with my ear to her breast drum me softly to dreams i feel her in my skin i know it i have her perfume on me still i bear her scratches on my back and neck i know it so much id turn around if i could figure out something better i could say im sorry i understand i see painfuly suddenly that which you could not say that which i should have seen i know my love is blind i cant see through a veil of tears realization comes suddenly with bladed cuts that bleeds of failures of a friend.
