The Guest
You opened my chest
prying apart skin
and
bone to get a
glimpse of my heart
The scalpel incising
the love
within me
coaxing the beat to
thump and
thump
Red ripe and sweet is
my love and
with no menu of choices
You order it raw
Hands reach inside
and Oh! What a
lovely pull
on the strings
that hold all of my
secrets
Your beautiful crimson
smile dines
hungrily on my passion
and dreams
tucked inside of
Your fist
Eat my heart out
