You Make Me Something More Beautiful Than I Am Poem by Eila Mahima Jaipaul

You Make Me Something More Beautiful Than I Am

Rating: 5.0


I crawl back into myself
before dawn
the flesh of me in the corner
below the covers...
the ones that made me
Queen of Sheba.
where I posed
with all the finesse of Cleopatra,
and the fury of Bach
until the cd
sounded a final note...
and the room fell silent
except for breathing.

This is not living
this is dreaming
then collapsing
into your absence.
