title of ownership

every kiss
is a lingering spirit
upon my lips
every tear
still leaves it’s feel
upon my cheeks
every word
ever spoken in love
hovers along my tongue
my arms
feel the heat
of every hug given
in passionate embrace

cast a seance
cast away
these foul memories
with your love
salt the earth
so they can
never return
to taunt
to haunt
to graze along my thigh
in the deepest
dark of the night

replace it
with you
all of you
take me
make me yours
alone
saturate my tongue
with your taste
my lips
with yours

i need
your teeth
upon my skin
draw blood
until
every drop of crimson
bleeds for you alone
wrap your delicate fingers
around my throat
squeeze
until all i can see
is you
through the spots
