if i am more than god
you are the title i worship
see, i never learned faith through desertion
but i learned to love a woman
who lives like the ocean
swiftly
gently
my body breaks into and over
what waves you create
what love you let under
i drown in the thought of you
enough is never enough
when it comes to learning
you
you
you
speak through me
in many tongues
i want to lap my mouth around the center
of what it is that could make us better
and swallow it whole
leaving the stem
as minor evidence
of how
i fell
in love
with a deity of a woman

Like a moth to a flame
You reduced me to ash,
Singed these already broken wings,
And at my wounds your flames did lash

I was captivated by your danger
Senseless from your beauty
I only wanted to touch and feel
And so your inferno left my heart sooty

Enticed by your primal heat
I was seduced by the warmth of you
And so I was scorched in defeat
As my wants took over my needs

Ready to burn down whatever crossed your path
You were a raging inferno
I a single moth defenseless in your wrath
Drawn to you by your impassioned thermo

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Or rather a winters noon
As you left no sunshine to stay
You just wore me out with gloom and doom

I was the summer’s breeze
And you were the winter’s chills
With sun beams through clouds did you tease
And I will admit your storms gave me thrills

You wore me down like rotting wood
Fighting against the dampening rain
The winter’s blizzard was all I had withstood
But then came the splintering pain

I crumbled at your tempest
Snapped to pieces at your will
You had me at my barest
And like the season you left still

You marked me with your hurricane
You tore at me with your hailstorm
As only my dampened dust remain
As my structure lay torn

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Or rather a winters noon,
From all you destroyed you walked away
But with the rain something new may bloom.
