You are my ginseng
another ingredient in my antidote:
this conjuring of awakenings and borrowed wisdom that I brew at night
In the cauldron I keep under the bed
next to the mug with your name
No one knows about it
except for you, me and whatever spirits may inhabit the room,
you loom
over me when … naught but a shadow befriends me
You see these sorrows of mine have me speaking in past tongues
back to times so historic, I need to be at the present with you at a time so euphoric
If only you could feel in a moment
what you make me feel daily
could your body even contain the glee?
You’d need 2 or 3 clones
AS I’ve said, you are my ginseng
a treatment prescribed to me by Karma herself
because the beatings and betrayals I’ve endured
ensured that my reward would be a love that made every nanosecond worth it
And I will make sure to take a dose
every
day
you
let
me.
