Mortal Goddess
Josh Cooper May 2017
Silent crimson tears rolling and trickling deep into the heart's shallows
My Goddess, tell me how could i ever wipe them off?
        ...off the cracks of my swelling cardiac veins
Your decline burning and heating my skin without consuming it
Now, watch my chest choke in failing to cough out the pain of your fall...
     ...the fall of my beautiful rose, to be by strangers trampled upon forever
So it's possible for a Goddess to be consumed in mortality's weakness ?


These Khalisees and Aphrodites consoling me, say you are at peace now
And if i keep mourning your soul will boil in the heat of trouble
But i remember you said only I, was your all...i know i was your peace
And now, isn't this restlessness i hold a manifestation of the love i have for you?
A love whose purity has been choked by the sword of nature and time-frame
May your soul come again...
For how could i ever dance to the song of life without the strings of your soul?
Strings that went breaking when you my goddess proved to be a mortal
Wrote this piece when my Mom passed on. I always felt my Mom was a goddess, my all. This Goddess proved to be a mortal after months of battling Leukemia.I miss her

The Afterlove
Josh Cooper Apr 2017
At the stroke of Love we
        both became poets and...
At the strike of a heartbreak we became a
                  a Sad
                   Sad
              Sad Poem

Now we both think and believe love is pain...
Always and inevitably painted and scripted in painful vowels
        And all promises in it nothing but broken dry ‘vow-wells’

Our bodies lying next to each other, yet, windows to hearts shut
The sun in our eyes turning ice-cold
This
is
the
Afterlove
              where...
Without one another, we
           keep kissing each other’s shadows and silhouettes
Baby, could there be a life after love? In the Afterlove...?

She
     Pulled him
      Jumped onto him
        Kissed
                      him
          Touched him
                                  hard
             Harder and deeper inside
                She liked it- her face smiling
                                                  -more I ever seen her do

               Then
      Turning around I'm there:
              Watching

'Baby I can explain!'

But baby your actions explain louder!

Broken
               Nailed
                            Smashed
                      ­                   Drowned
                                                      Fro­zen
I wanted you to be my wife
I did 'trust' you, us.
Trust- its a shame I did
