Kim V. Poetry

Speak my name to the gods.

Tell them that I have faltered
And am in need of your salvation.

Steal my thunder
From the storm,
And bathe me in its
Cooling redemption.

For I am weary,
With mascara smears
And bloody fingertips,
Having traversed the wasteland
In search of a phantom love.

So, save me, my beloved.

Let us run away
From the dark and the ruin,
And write sonnets underneath
A blanket of stars.

Let us devour each other’s
Bodies like hungry beasts.
With lust and a pinch of poetry.
