The sound of your breath
on the sharp
rhythmically placed inhale
between twinkling words
starts to heighten
an awareness inside
✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩
I start to focus
on my own rapid breathing
the rising heat
leaving a condensed
desire on my lips
how I’ve started to gasp
as you take every breath in
to your spellbinding chest
👄༄｡°
Hands
clutch hungrily at my shirt
wringing it
as if it were dripping wet
muscles painfully tense
yet, when I exhale
instead of relaxing
I forcibly expel the air
becoming nothing but a speck
elbows practically
coming to a pointing touch
shoulders slumping over
in a nobbly hunch
head to knees
ass to feet
fetally compressing until
I'm completely air-free
⋆˚࿔🧘🏻♀️༄｡°
With a start
springing into a frenzy
of oxygenation
a spiral of movement
accompanied by a
hyperventilating chorus
the light that had been fading
from my vision
finds me swimming
through the tension I'm exuding
‧₊˚♪ 𝄞𝄢₊⋆˚꩜｡˚⊹
I rise above my own
lyrical brooding
into the atmosphere
of your laughter and
gentle lilting humming
spinning vibrations skim
like gossamer layers
I melt and fall through
hitting one at a time
with a swirling stir
I luxuriate in
the silken air your
bodily words prepare
allowing me to write my
most passionately fashioned plea
ㅤ ׅ 𝄂𝄚𝅦𝄚𝄞𝅄ㅤ𝄞𝄢₊⋆˚꩜
Through muscle tension
iconic shaping and
infusing every motion
with unthinking emotional gravity
arching flicks
circular whips subtly
build up a spinning momentum
as I continue to rise
sudden abdominal contractions
start midair rotations
cementing auto gyroscopic action
fluid, mirrored
grandiose motion
reveal mystical meaning
beyond physical position
‧₊˚♪ 𝄞₊˚⊹🤸🏻♀️
My outward pleadings
match the inner workings of my heart
a mandala of faith and pain
tossed into your orbit
a sand painting built
with sharpened fingernails
glittering diamond dust
sticking to my
tears as they float by
in zero gravity
⋆⭒˚｡⋆✧💎˖°
Each a world of experience
carried in a coated droplet
ready to burst
telling my story
in the slow motion
technicolor calamity
I could never speak aloud
until finally I rest
nestled in
the cosmic beauty
of musicality

CH 20~ Party Down
Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”
