Janus

Copyright Robert Fullarton- 2012- Taken from Seasons in the waiting game

Turn your face to me Janus,

Turn mercurial laughter

Into the wails

Of unrequited love

Turn your stony tears

Into the cracks

Of the faintest smile

To shaky visibilities

For a delicate man.

Harvest erotic hopes,

Feel the soft body,

Remember

the tender kiss

that never touched

and missed the truth

for broken

expectations

Turn your face Janus

And betray me

Give me the dark

Perverse nights

the stench of Chanel

beside

the decomposing trust

forge a shaky smile

for the mourners

that march

to the hilly abyss

give me the Judas kiss

betray me love

and be gone

The woman

You love

Does not love you

-the triptych

of all days extended

the monumental

words

on the monumental

frieze

written upon my soul

Face me now

And betray me

No more

Expectations

To hang

On airy threads

For the kiss

That never touched

The truth

And the tears

That told no lies.

The woman you love

Does not love you
