...
"Quiet are your affections this hour,
as sun~fire courts moonlight"
I've sown gardens of stars
on your chest with my lips,
watched as peach-colored sunrises on
your shoulder blades dissolve before me,
and traced the ladder to heaven
along the sky of your spine
with my tongue.
You drank silver from my skin
like it was holy water, and you told me
that my body was like a godless church,
holy for no reason other than itself.
you told me I was beautiful,
so many times
This uncharted territory, porcelain to the touch;
we are blood in water in love, serenading the
angels that are intoxicated with our naivety;
Our bodies eclipsed and your hands find
the flecked gold that leans too heavy on one side,
and you placed all of the diamonds
back into my bones without
hesitation.
Whenever you kissed me
I knew love by all of its names
in all of it's tongues of flowers and coasts
and we drink up this disease knowing that
the only cure is each other.
However,
another heart's jealousy is a carcass in the ashtray,
and I have seen this hatred before;
I know that some ghosts prefer not to be woken;
Find fossils of heartbreaks
in the fountain of doves,
because if you searched her heart you'll find
empty hallways begging to be filled with
your sunlight.
As you are spellbound with
blue ponds of smoke and dynamite eyes
you reminded me once more,
I am a museum.
The darkness will feed upon his luna,
so the sun wishes to marry his lover,
~so look at me~
The moonlight is merely sunlight in a white dress
...
The scent of rain haunts me.
