i will weep at the feet
of woman
beg they do not brush my skin
not to startle that familiar feeling
let caution bruise the gape left

i will weep
cupped hands both drained and full

i will weep
do not look at me

im sorry

hold me like you know me
run your fingers through my hair

like those summer days in playgrounds
link your daisy chain around my wrist

blow your breath against my neck bare

Strange skin
laying cold
though whispers burn up
And though your scent tempts sweet
air festers as we rot.
There is sign of life
Pattering against
The stale wood of this coffin.
Our moon glows through these cracks
A soft glimmer of the mourning to come
And these crisp cloths worn before
Lie that I’ll depart with you.
And I tell your corpse that I love you
I love you. I do.
And you have left me alone again.
She is half decayed and beautiful.
You told me first, whispered
Withered arms wound around me
Passing into the night.

Not a feeling made to be bound by words
You flow infinitely
So vast I could float in your warm abyss
Until the end of time
Then leave my body here
To gently decay within your comforting waters
Let my skeleton bury down within you
Safe beneath your deep sands

While your waters may stretch to other lands
Just leave my bones with you

Born from a kiss
Elicit whispers of a promise long
Mourned and despaired
In chance I find a starry night
Never to imagine such brilliant
Enchanting stardust.
