In disbelief I watch the muse spin and turn
Burned on a stained canvas
Subtle
Lipstick married blood red
Oozes in bubbling liquid from suffering veins
Point my tongue sensuously savouring the taste
Droplets form in crescent moons tingling senses
Like blackened landscapes withdrawing from the dawn
Beckon the Gyspy King dancing on the left over wind
Colouring the sky left bare from forevers rain
Begin
Opening eyes see less than before
Closed in the presence of ethereal tragedies
Mislead in oblique turbulence at the comedy that exists
Drawn into the undersound smeared in lipstick
Another
Kissing a shadow left imprints in time
Less warm in doubts casting jingles of skin
Peeled formally as coats of texture
Wrapped in butter tasted exotic extracts
Dip fingers tracing fragmented bones on the outside
All the while I bleed blood red from the inside
Whats in a sound as it rattles on a tin roof
Whats in a name best forgotten
Whats in a breathe expelled for a lasting time
Whats in a promise never believed
Whats in this that I believe
Tell me

Brilliant! The last verse sends me inside my mind, looking for the answer. My favorite poems are ones that do this. :)
