your magnetic eyes and thighs
that never lie but speak twice as much as the truth
i am abused by your delirious laughter
i am amused at your shattered theater
i have become a drowning servant
abhorred in your servitude
loathe to whisper the tenderest secrets
so free me from the violet waters
the drones of laughter and suffering
the hours spent in your beatific company
i monitor the arrangements we’ve made in wonder
some claim that we areΒ descended from the dead
and others from ancestral monkeys
some claim we are a wild combination of proteins
and others that we spontaneously came into existence
from whence there was only stardust
but i know that no matter what they say
we all share the same destiny and destination
and i'm contemplating if i am truly ready
to be released by trial and error
and surrender to the heat and flames
upon the frying pan of love
