departure
I’m departing my lovely world of silver rain,
rivers of lust, land of solitude, walls of gold
Where I could call the roses from the earth
to give me their breasts to touch.
My beautiful land
where I was still gathering the dirt of earth
left from her footprints, to mold it into a beautiful coffin.
=======
my beautiful world where I would fill my mouth from her neck
Where I would let the acid of her saliva run to burn inside me
Shrink my thoughts into a nipple in the palms of my hands
to silence the dizziness of my drunken words
that’s dream weaving the slow and fast.
=======
my comfortable room
Where my beautiful beloveds’ shadow
is still in my bedroom standing
between this pestering sting and the sheets,
where I know I’ll smell, taste, all my hallucinations
that houses all my dreams in her body
To know what lovers do in the dark
the notion of fleeing is sacrilegious.
=========
My beautiful temple
Where I would kneel into her prayers
and ask If she could find it in her heart to set me free
& take me down in an isolated spot
Where I could be forgiven
for planning my own broken funeral.
=========
