HYPNAGOGIC FATE by Cindy Fournier
FOR THE ROMANTICS LEFT ALIVE
I’ve been calling you, all this time through.
Have you been hearing my strings; or joining my voice?
Alone yet together with you,
I built the cave where all my dreams, your wishes come true.
Brave. Brave. Brave.
Can you see the ether opening, like my legs for you to press and please?
Can you beg once again for my flesh to dance and freeze?
My teeth still biting yours, I am enduring the main course.
It tastes like blues, a reminiscence of fresh clean jeans impossible to move… in.
I trust the night to brighten our daylight.
This feeling, a thrill eating me alive.
Shivers on my spine, the belt undone, zip down,
You overstepped for a slice of mine.
Religiously, painfully. I’m yours only.
Between Nature and Grace, I’ve erased all sights, all traces of sane.
I’m losing it. Licking it. Pretending to survive.
Thriving for pride. Hungry. So politely hungry.
I close my eyes to rejoice with you.
You’re far, I’m apart. And I hear your melody, sensual melancholy,
Grabbing my neck, this wreck from a long time bullied.
Because I’m real.
Because I’m deep.
As intense as the universe itself.
The black holes on everyone’s road.
You’re welcome to jump in with me.
Simply believe, that when I extend senses and meanings,
It then reaches the infinite, blossoming roots and leaves outside from within.
You’ll suer and collapse because it hurts.
It hurts like flames rolling on the oil of your skin,
Never ending.
An eternal trance of sex and murders.
The negative in every picture,
Entering every crack and bone with splendour.
I call it… Addiction to TORTURE.
AN ODE TO WOMEN ON THEIR OWN DRINKING WINE. RED WINE.
Because it’s more than a symbol. Or some porn episode.
Attractive, yes. Daring, it shouldn’t be. It’s 2023.
Contemplating. People watching. Endearing.
The invitation. A conscious decision to fall into oblivion.
Le temps d’un instant.
She sat down and smiled. At herself, and the world passing by.
Pausing time when everything around blurs into universal trauma.
Inking the white paper black, her alternative persona arrived.
Familiar alien. Trapped in her veins, she turned scarlet red.
A warm feeling; the homemade pharmacy kicked in.
The historical nectar gifts wings to those shy, ashamed and bleeding.
She’s sitting and laughing. At herself, and the world perplexing.
