Meredith Fahey

If I went to bed with you
Would I find you a god in the morning
Or the ghost of some late night regret?
What would I be to you?
...

Wrecked
I am broken
I am shades of darkness
Filtered through your pain
...

Tides of this lust
Sent crashing into bodies
Into pools of sex
Animals, demons, angels, fish
...

Here we are again
A year after we took leave of each other
In the same bed
Like time never changed our love, nor tore it asunder
...

I watched the moon fall down in your eyes
As the night gave way to morning
I had to go yet you had me linger still
Wanting to hold your nightingale
...

You are a constellation in my night sky
Guiding me home
Straight from the North Star
Until morning
...

It's been a week and a day
And I've lived a lifetime since I last saw you
Some days have been empty, some full
But I've lived them all
...

My love is built upon the knowledge of you
That I was so sure of
Until that one moment
When it all dissolved like a sand castle at high tide
...

I hear your voice
And suddenly I want to lay down
Close my eyes and wrap myself
In the sure sweet words of
...

Romeo- I would die for you.
Fingers tangled in tawny hair
Reflecting the morning sun
His head is heavy on my breast
...

Oh, still was the night I first saw you
Quiet under the moon
The silence was so utterly determined
Not to whisper, dare it break first
...

You gave me back time
The one word I left to you
When you went away
What does this mean?
...

I promised myself so many things
I lied so well to myself
But immediately
Alone in your vicinity
...

I remain adrift,
Floating in the waters of life.
Alone, staring up into the milky
Black darkness, speckled with gold
...

I tumble into your heart,
And lay sprawling, panting, catching my breath in this strange place,
This exotic geography of lips and kisses and laughter
I take a moment to look around, this place I've never been before, love.
...

I make love to you in this place out of time
Where I am not scared of you discovering me beneath the skin
We make ripples in the fabric of time as we explore and cry out
Tearing down the walls of reality and fantasy
...

We let go of dark secrets
They tumble out
Of our mouths
And bump along the subway track.
...

You have my heart in your hand
I look down at the gaping hole in my chest as you
Lick it
Like a cat licks cream off
...

This is as good as I get
I have never felt more beautiful
Than I did tonight
If you don’t love me now
...
