Klethon Gomes

Piece of dark matter in your mouth Ripe blackberries popping on your tongue Chew me like ebony Spit me out sculpted Polished in the finest varnish Before you, I harden and soften: complete Metamorphosis Transmuting in suspension From carbon to diamond From nothingness to opals in sunlight You caress my charcoal skin with your eyes Fire and honey dripping sweet as lava Incandescence of my disaster Nature's ultimate martial law In thy love, I'm lost In your wicked soul, I'm found.
