velvet imprints
of tactile touch
a distinct path is etched over my skin
your silent murmurs
witheld for closure
compact moments freeze off feelings,
like pictures
clicked on a camera
our memories
lie fragmented, and I
yet again breathe in
your tangy aftershave
my nostrils
flaring with the familiar scent.
Your emerald eyes
simmering with trepidation
tongues of flames
licking my aspect angrily
frustation choking my delicate throat
almost crumbling
in the wake
of your wicked thoughts,
the distant humming
of the world at sea
another quirky simulation
of your master-mind
so, when the ending credits of our movie rolled
I left
with nostalgia in a dusty corner of my heart.
The droning sound
that drums through your purpled veins now,
beating
a merciless tattoo
over your lucid skin
by chalking out your fears
we only insured
that thrills
no longer touched us but left,
unheard....

Wow, I'm impressed! You managed to use several options and managed to make the piece coherant and understandable. I loved the imagery you used and choice of metaphors. I just fell into each word that you said, as if they were memories and feelings of my own, which some are quite similar to some of mine. Beautifully wrote, so glad you stepped up to a great challenge!
