Pink Lipstick Kisses!

by James Ray Scott

Dirty laundry
scattered around,
discarded needle
in a spoon
that keeps it warm.

Eyes of warmth,
gaze into a quicksand
of memories once lived;
a junkie's life in a cocktail
filled syringe.

Methodical drips
of hard water
scream out, as your smile
burns deep into my soul.

I am at peace now!
with pink lipstick
kisses showering
down,
a musking of innocence
stained upon my sheets.

I am at peace now...
"Don't leave."
