buses and poetry

[Naisip/nasulat ito habang nakasakay ako sa bus kaninang umaga. Buses and I go way back, and the trip allows me time to think, wallow, muse, and like this morning, write. :D Comments are welcome, don’t be shy. And don’t be afraid to bash.]

I remember
The mere thought of you
Was an invitation,
A temptation, and surrender
To fire,
Of needy kisses and burning embers
Of me breathing you in
Taking you inside
And relishing each draw,
And each release.
Each tryst ending with you
Consumed.
You lie there spent
Discarded
With your taste lingering on my lips
Only a memory

His kisses replaced yours,
Now bittersweet and telling
Of an end beginning
And I
Needing something for my hand to hold
Have come back
To you
To contemplate
As smoke curls up and embers dissolve
To ashes
