I have poured myself into endless wineglasses
for you to drink. I am a shape-shifter as you know.
I melt out of your enclosed fist, you say “you’re silk”
And I revel in my new found silk-ness.
I am the scorching mid-day sunshine that seeps through you
And the murky evening shadow. I am poison for you.
Red and green and blue punctuate the dreamy darkness
I can create by closing my eyes, the one I share with you.
The one time you licked the salty tears off my lips
You said I taste of myths and rainy evenings by the sea
And a guiltless, mirthful Paris night
One hears stories of, from old, ancient, dying sailors.
And then you said I smell of old, yellowed books
And dark alleyways with a filigree of light on the floor.
I think I am your muse, the pagan goddess of love
Ageless, shapeless and loveless.

Nice. But why are you "loveless"?
your writing is really interesting, with a dense placing of iage over image. it slips from one alley to the next, a silken texture.
