Little Marble Kisses

She asks
and it is given
then she continues
to seek more
elsewhere
from others,
beholden to none
but her own Ego
expanding and contracting
through each love
and loss
Mine fades like carbon
under pressure
of each trial,
seeded deep in your veins.
The Shadow subsides to a gleam
a glint from
your eyes
summoning us all
to begin again the journey
cyclical as it may be
this corkscrew
which never
reaches the nectar
in the bottle beneath;
infuriating with the
relief of repetition
neglecting
satiation.
