I love you dow        w            n to your jagged,          dark edges culling smoke                and twisting tides                   your steaming heart               that pulses, in my hands           as you give it- and the pungent tears when they fall          from your eyes I lick up your pain to soothe it smooth its rawness catching        velvet ripples of skin I pull a blanket of mahogany wine over your soul           lacerations that seep out               from the layers within and in that tender of nightfall's darkest foliage I long to calm your monsters' clawing as they gnaw at you from                   the inside out I crave to fill the hollowed-out longing my own hungers writhing       in obscene                       devout For I am all that is sacred and wild the spark has been lit from my innermost rooms I dance to the drums of the woman as child her mystical ways chanting rhythms in runes Demons might dance as you gaze in reflection in the mirror of time, of unfiltered space       but I adore all your sides,           your imperfections discern the divine in the planes of your face You are my galaxy               of dark matter bringing out my            own looking glass                          of vantablack in a feral crown of obsidian                              and onyx as you reach me deep, there's no going back For when you love me like that, plant your tameless,                             hot seed it blossoms within me a tightly-wrapped tourniquet                for when I bleed and if my guts should spill upon                the  floor you will remind me, in glowing of pores            of who I am and how I am whole a lovelight lit in the storm of my soul I will push down deeper until I feel those roots that connect me to my center   to my succulent fruit So slice me open.      Pull me apart. Let the juice run down to heal      your jagged-edged                heart

jagged-edged heart
I love you dow        w            n to your jagged,          dark edges culling smoke                and twisting tides                   your steaming heart               that pulses, in my hands           as you give it- and the pungent tears when they fall          from your eyes I lick up your pain to soothe it smooth its rawness catching        velvet ripples of skin I pull a blanket of mahogany wine over your soul           lacerations that seep out               from the layers within and in that tender of nightfall's darkest foliage I long to calm your monsters' clawing as they gnaw at you from                   the inside out I crave to fill the hollowed-out longing my own hungers writhing       in obscene                       devout For I am all that is sacred and wild the spark has been lit from my innermost rooms I dance to the drums of the woman as child her mystical ways chanting rhythms in runes Demons might dance as you gaze in reflection in the mirror of time, of unfiltered space       but I adore all your sides,           your imperfections discern the divine in the planes of your face You are my galaxy               of dark matter bringing out my            own looking glass                          of vantablack in a feral crown of obsidian                              and onyx as you reach me deep, there's no going back For when you love me like that, plant your tameless,                             hot seed it blossoms within me a tightly-wrapped tourniquet                for when I bleed and if my guts should spill upon                the  floor you will remind me, in glowing of pores            of who I am and how I am whole a lovelight lit in the storm of my soul I will push down deeper until I feel those roots that connect me to my center   to my succulent fruit So slice me open.      Pull me apart.
