~~~Stripped Bare~~~

by Kelly Wright - Aries

One night
late last year
I stripped bare
and stood frozen
under freezing rain...
'inner fire'
burning snow 
beneath my feet.
.
Out of breath
deep in heat

I sat to swing
lit a smoke
and had to laugh
all the time past
it's you
deep within
smoldering
through my mind
I wear you 
like salty skin
numb 
  &
worn thin.
.
Had to laugh 
even more...
when I froze 
to the chair
completely unaware
of time passing
engulfed in you
as our love
lay dying.
.

Reason for writing:

    some silly little thought I had one weird night ;)
