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
“I have lost my dewdrops!” Cries the flower to the morning sky that has just lost all its stars... All bleeding stops eventually. I am but a collection of particles, atoms that chose to suffer in unison.
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
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
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?
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?
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
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.
