Fused


Photo credit: chelle from morguefile.com

I consumed from the depths of your eyes
Now I thirst for more
Devoured the words tumbling past your lips
Still no wiser than before
Inhaling your essence
Unable to resist
Ingesting your being entirely, savoring your nourishing soul
Which will be the death of me
Since I have found peace in you
Now we are eternally fused
Just as it should be

Dana

    I like the idea of fusing, of finding peace with one ~

    I am not up for being devoured, and always feel there should be something of the Other they also get to keep, but you do paint a persuasive, if rather vampiric, picture--I like the language in the first few lines especially.

      I do believe you can be fused and still retain individual qualities.Think of it as two halves of the brain.The devouring is more of a romantic sense than literal. Thanks for stopping by and for the comments. I love when my readers leave their honest opinions!

    There's a bitter beauty to being fused that way; becoming so entangled in each other can only lead to heartbreak in the end.

    I was expecting an unhappy conclusion... shame on me :) "Devoured the words tumbling past your lips" loved that.

    I LOVE the contrast in these 2 lines: "Which will be the death of me / Since I have found peace in you". Great poem.
