I wanted to write your name down in blood over and over and over on slabs of gold and stone but you prefer to be left alone.
I wanted to build a monument of your face to overlook your land, your tribes, your home but you prefer to be left alone.
Instead, I wrote your name on lavender sands, your birth date on the golden change of winds, my love for you on the sunset over the Indian Ocean.
I wrote everything for you on places of scatter and on places of dissolve.
I wanted to leave your mark on the world but realized the irony in such because you are already aligned with the rising sun and setting moon, you are already an endless cycle of life and death.
Still, I want to write you down in history but you don't want to leave your mark on the world, you don't want your coming and going announced.
To leave my mark on the world, you said, I would first have to injure it, disturb the status quo, but I would rather be left alone.
