Saturday Morning

 i wake

to the want

to the heavy 

gravity of you


yet you are there

and i am here

and i want you all the same

Oh Venus

 Venus, oh Venus

Tiger striped eyes

and heavenly thighs

are what my Venus

is made of.


Mountain peak gaze

i could see no better ways

to spend my days

than amidst the ocean of sheets

in her worship

 Moon over heaven

how i worship your divine

was it all a dream?

Kintsugi

 You

among the glittering lights of the city

i see the gold 

used to repair the cracks of your soul.

i wish to see it all.

to know

to understand.

You shimmer 

with marbled skin

and starshatter eyes.

Hair to match the night.


How can i not wish for this? 

How can anyone not succumb

to one such as you?


Who Needs Saving?

 Do i save

because i wish to be saved?

i despise charity

unearned altruism.

so i do not see it,

but why else

would i yearn,

for the broken,

for the Forlorn.


Do we speak the same language?

The same dialect

of despondence?

With the accent

of hopeless misery?

Anymore

 You have failed

you are an infant

raising a child.

You failed with your eldest

and you are failing with the rest.


You are nothing,

you have nothing

and so you shall remain.

You are not in reality,

you lie, you cheat, you steal.


You are a thief,

of heart,

of mind,

of blood and treasure.

All you do is steal.

A parasite,

a robber in the night,

you play victim

and yet only make them.


What happened to you?

You were so innocent,

so pure.

i think that's why

i fell in love with you so.

To save you,

when in the end i was merely fed to you

with a smile on my face.


i wanted nothing more than to serve you,

than to save you.

but i can't, 

you are too far gone.


You've sold your innocence;

you are something beyond now.

i don't know what you are 

anymore

Have You Seen The Night Sky?

 All the cosmos clatter in my hands

like tumbled lapis stones,

stardusting my palms with ultra marine.

i didn't ask to hold so many sorrows

or to caress the curvature of the earth

but my blue fingerprints will stain God's own heart,

diffusing into the fabric of the universe,

until every sunrise is streaked with sapphire.
