Poetry & Art of the Intelligently Erotic
Issue 3.0
| Lyla Dabbe - One Night |
I know your face-
Seen-it once-or-twice
Between the valleys of memories and thoughts
while you buy me another drink
and with a cock-tooth
smile
you talk about goin’ home
but it’s cold and lonely
you need someone warm
I know your face
Seen it a hundred times
I know your promises
I know your lies
But it feels like a hundred years
since I’ve been drunk and tired lookin’ for a place to rest ma’ shoes
And It feels
like a thousands years
Since I was touched
loved
wanted
if only for a fraction of a second
So common baby
I’ll take you home for once
show you a place inside
swimmin’ with tiny tropical waves
I’ll make you remember my name,
’Cause there's
no one like me
smart and sexy
in a compact car
Goin’ nowhere
Real fast Real hard
’Cause baby I am the essence of Ova
The meaning of woman
The lust of Isis
And the triumph of Cleo
I am the stars of Orion------------
Swim with me
and together we’ll twine a world
Out of breath
and breast
Out of stories and myths
in the undertows of Atlantic
I will call you Neptune
but all I ask in return
is that tomorrow,
when the sun peeks
and dries
those tired eyes,
you won’t call on that phone
or whisper I love you in your sleep,
’cause I hate a liar
more then I hate myself
Seen-it once-or-twice

while you buy me another drink
and with a cock-tooth
smile

but it’s cold and lonely
you need someone warm
