The Time We Have
Going Under
Water--warm, bubbling around me.
I'm floating in it, weightless, mindless
As a child in the womb.
I drift there endlessly, feeling
Nothing but peace. Then,
A shock.
Screams inside my head,
Flashes of searing heat.
Then, cool, cool liquid
Over everything, smothering,
Kissing, soothing.
Down I go, under
Everything, 'till I rock
On the soft bottom and
Sleep there, forever,
Never surfacing.
Hearts and Hands
My wings are cut,
My blood is spilled,
My body breaks,
And they have killed me.
You fall away,
You hold the blame,
You cannot stray
From death and flame.
You killed me.
O great Tempter
Spread your censure
Through any and all
My home and lands!
You pierce me with nails--
Through my heart,
Through my hands
The Lost
I am a lost One,
A broken body,
Mind, and soul.
I have nothing to
Live for. He was
The only thing I
Gave my love for,
Gave my life for.
And He has gone.
I am a lost One,
A broken body,
Mind, and soul.
I am the forsaken.
Beautiful
A sinister angel--
Emerald eyes, blush lips,
Impossible.
Raven hair, moon-pale skin,
Mouth opened in a silent
Scream.
Eyes sparkling with the knowledge
Of unforgivable deeds--
Beautiful,
Beyond description.
Torture
It's torture to watch you
Undo your robes; then you
Set to work on mine,
Long fingers reaching inside
To my chest.
Our skin touches, like
Grains of dry desert sand
Moving against one another.
Whispering to me,
"Make you bleed--" I
Can't think straight, I
Can't do this. It's
Torture.
Of Man
The song of man
Their love long flourished,
Hidden in old forests
With the clever thieves band.
The love of man
Will bloom--once long faded,
Set to the hearts of
The maidens found new.
The eyes of man
Once blurred by their greed
Shall again see the
Faces of love lost.
Water--warm, bubbling around me.
I'm floating in it, weightless, mindless
As a child in the womb.
I drift there endlessly, feeling
Nothing but peace. Then,
A shock.
Screams inside my head,
Flashes of searing heat.
Then, cool, cool liquid
Over everything, smothering,
Kissing, soothing.
Down I go, under
Everything, 'till I rock
On the soft bottom and
Sleep there, forever,
Never surfacing.
