A Twitter Poem by Gabriela Marie Milton
Feel me my love inside the #succulent black grapes which burned our taste in nights of ardor & of sand between your spade & the incandescence of the hurt bull the blood and sweat of a forgotten afternoon fragments in red and blue my soul
I am the wounded healer who does not heal anymore. He who touches me dies. Go to the end of this world & wait for me. Between two centuries, between two sufferings, I’ll find you & then I’ll heal you.

A Poem from Passions: Love Poems and Other Writings
Seduction by Gabriela Marie Milton
the rhythm of castanets awakens the moon on opal rings your kisses spin a cricket’s hitting a crescendo waves tattoo dark shadows on your skin sonority, you who vibrates the souls of those who haunt at night the Port of Cartagena
I toss in smells of apricots and plumes the Hand of Fatima takes off my veils your forehead sinks into the sweat of lovers who sever their veins oh, dream of the unknowns, you, latency, the sigh of blood which flows in spring both mud and flowers grow
didn’t you know that when you said I love you you stepped on roads of fables and folk tales? you glued your heart onto a purple sunset smells of lilac and of roses, impregnated strolls, seduction, it wasn’t me it was you who stole his soul
