What if after this life...?
You'd fall so in love with me?
When our eyes meet in time
Emerald pools deplete into my ocean blue
And the vintage record begins to skip
As we begin this dance again
I must confess
Hoping you who is so far away will notice me
I look up to the throne upon which you sit
So very high above me
Like Luna in the sky
You with your crown
Winds blow
My breath escapes me
And I hear leaves rolling across like marching feet
A momentary distraction
An outstretched hand as if only to kiss
Where all my eviscerated feelings wish to reach you
Longingly, my absinthe fairy
With how love screams from my lungs and rains down like marbles falling from the skies
Of every color and every design
All around you
Where I will envelope you, consume you, devour you, and inspire you
I'd wish to kiss the orchid in which you withhold
And show you all wonders of love in this vast world
Caressing you in weeping kisses to carry you over the edge
So fade away with me into another time and another place
We will meet again my little lamb
You and that fleece of yours
Until then, sing me a song
Sing me to sleep
Where I can hope to dream of you and me.
I was greatly inspired to start writing more poetry again after reading the newest issue of Afterzine. Very much inspired. So I hope you like this poem, there's a lot of symbolism in it for me and with whom I am speaking to in it is a secret. Snagged my preview pic from tumblr, so if you know who took the picture I will definitely give credit for that.

The quiet and violent essence coexisting in Love are well represented by these ardent and true verses...
Quote:"Where I will envelope you, consume you, devour you, and inspire you..." - "Until then, sing me a song... Sing me to sleep".

For Love is a cruel tyrant...invading every dept of our hearts... inflaming every muscle and mucous membrane... its effects are still visible for (too) long time after is gone... and as a ferocious leader who wants to increase its myth... it annihilates everything but a memory... a flame... the last to remember and tell in future to your heart how brutal it is... when it will back at your door... and probably you won't believe.
