Susceptible to change

[Keith]

Edit tectak it was then heslopian

Young enough to notice change,
she softened the moment
with milk-washed skin,
so thin the air of new regret,
defined her perfect silhouette.

I hid this treasure rather well,
buried beneath books, storyboard Beanos,
desperate Dandys and angry looks.
My eyes now opened in a primeval light,
reality catches me brutal as a dog bite.

Cheeks first reddened by rushed mouths
are held in trembling hands.
Something wakes with new born plans,
our snakes scurry to find a home,
Medusa smiles then turns me to stone.

Young enough to notice
for the first time,
so soft and smooth the moment.
Caught on clarities torn veil,
drawn towards perfect features,
melting critic to a masterpiece.
A creature well hidden till now,
buried beneath story board Beano’s,
angry looks and desperate Dandy’s.
Eyes open primeval,
reveals a change dog bite brutal.
Standing hillside looking back
breathless,
I think to brush pure beauty,
reddened by rushed mouths,
alive my writhing needs,
taking tingles under your touch.
