As you sleep.

Frail as smoke
I transcend above your heavy form,
casting my Eden sands upon your brow;
I hear you breathing, a moth’s gentle death,
tender against my heart of agonies, and
you are tragic in this mortal light,
a divine sort of decaying that makes up the better half of me.
Engorged, I sink like the ship you often dream of,
flooded with your oceans, your vast impurities,
sick with longing as I plummet into the endless songs you
kept hidden beneath your withered breast.
With a calm severity, I wrap myself in the many folds of your dreaming skull,
This is how I want to die.
I fill myself with your acrid dust, decorate my beggar bones with starlit webs
in hopes of trapping you –
Would you survive my scrutiny? Would I cradle your frantic prayers as I make you wingless?
Wake unto requiems sobbed with your voice,
you are made of tears shed by dying gods –
resolved in your annihilation,
you shudder between my hands like a broken offering,
whimpering your surrender, accepting your fragilty;
{ a heart of laments }
I compress it softly,
whisper thorns into its battered lungs til it
bursts with my madness,
the madness you kindle with your delicate distortions,
your guileless masks.
I would howl in this natural suffering,
shake you with my furious obsessions, the chaos that reflects secretly in your
eyes of midnight rain.
I would carve sonnets into horizons,
find nourishment in the blood of your name,
I would liberate you with my tender cruelty,
my murderous passion –
Sweet victim, I would love you as the fragile child.

oh my goodness. this is your best write. it pulled me in with beautiful ease until i was totally absorbed into every word and living every image. my favourite bit was this bit:
With a calm severity, I wrap myself in the many folds of your dreaming skull,
This is how I want to die.
sensational poetry, 5/5.

Or a very very tired/exhausted individual because this is quite scary and I know that I myself would have to be very tired to fall asleep around the person in this one that would make me their victim. You have a hell of a way with words. To me, to pick out one single favorite line would be an impossible task..yet, I'd bet you could definitely "carve sonnets into horizons". I look forward to that one.
Take care,
Tim |
