Rust Never Sleeps

Rust rubs

Her thigh

On the

Galvanised

 

Her droplets

Erode

And

Corrode

The locks

Seized

Over time

 

Once open

She 

Caustically

Enters in 

Spreading

All over your

Soul

 

And as

Rust

Lies back in

Your head

And closes

Her thighs

 

She’s feeling

Warm

But lying

On something

Hard

And cold

 

Rust does not

Sleep

She just gently

Closes her

Eyes

◄ Remember Me

If I Were A Word ►

Lynn, I tried leaving a comment on this earlier but was distracted away by my mother bless her and now I've forgotten what I was going to say. But I like this a lot. My mind is being dim tonight after a long car journey. Any poem that mentions thighs is good for me. But I know there is more to this than just thighs. God help me. It's a mystery.

Hi Stu and thanks. This really was a joint effort. I can't take all the credit. It came from that lovely warming word 'inspiration' xx
