Just like you said
Be it as such
Draw out my vehement cries
From the caverns
I search in them for light
While there is none
There is no radiance beneath rocks
There is no glory in depression
The cliffs have eyes
And they watch over the waters
In boisterous composition
It's canvas sings
Expenditures aloof
Senseless words
below the hoof
Alive be I
For willing desire
The bland word "fire"
Is rhymed too much
The meaning of my words is spent
My poetry is belittled by your greatness
But your greatness gives me value
I will always be thankful
My eye's lashes reach
For cheekbones of mine
And my legs surrender
their strength to a mattress
I will sing in the night
Clear my head
Show me your power
Sheer my insecurities
Shape my loss
I will praise you either way
