Rockabilly Baby

I remember
sweat, and sticky water,
bodies pressed in deafening sound,
your hair a perfect frame
to notes we screamed,
but only mouthed –

pure strangers laughing ecstasy,
eyes met by future friends,
you became my bosom-rebel
as we made each other’s ends.

I’d sew details
to your dresses,
bite wear into your clothes,
you were a symmetry of person,
the confidant I’d never known –

our fingertips, and lipstick,
taught rough play to softened skin,
teasing smiles you used to give me
and begging neither to give in.

I loved
the way you kissed me,
holding moments by the hips,
how only you could stop to say it
and it bitterly was missed.

  • nice write.
    i dont usually like poetry that doesnt have a perfect rhyming flow. but this was very well written. i love the way it flowed and wasnt forced at all.
    keep it up!

  • Great writing of this piece. It has a smooth flow, not overly cliche' and really leaves a bit of sting at the ending. I like this alot
