Poem of the Day for 11/07/26 Triple Night Stand by Beth K Hannah Little train tracks of blood Drip down my spine I twist and turn in the mirror To seek their beginning and end. Such a heavenly scar will replace These lust given wounds. I dig for medicine and bandages, And let my mind take me back... ...Carnal lust tore through the sheets Silk brushed my thighs Painting every inch of me into a broken dove. As my breath grew quicker, You serenaded me with my name, And tasted my skin. I felt as if the whole world was crashing down In glorious waves of amber and night... The next morning I found myself awakening From a slumber never experienced. Pushing aside all dignity, I turned to my partner to hear of the past eve. Dark hair spread over the red silk Steady breathing told me dreams were still being made. I reached for his hand and held it, Watching the sunlight play hide and seek Through our fingers. My skin felt alive My blood raw And my body satisfied. 10/20/2003 Visit Beth K Hannah's Library Triple Night Stand Copyright © 2026 Beth K Hannah
