I wish to slough away my dead skin
For it is jagged and barbed and will wound
For it daily wounds me
And when it is gone, Scars I will bear
Hard memories will spear through my head
Now unbalanced and heavy, my head falls
But you give of your breast and stroke my locks and rub my chest
Our hearts in relative motion
We can feel the Earth spin
and we look on
From another time and remark
IT IS, AS IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN.
You return draped in black
The sword you carry is not the sword you left with
Now the handle of your soul is wrapped in a specific cord
Revealing neither worth nor value
But the self
the glint in your eye
Like a Raptor whose wing flaps with the strength of new found maturity
Your likeness bourne on all birds of prey and prayer alike. You have been classified at each stage with none realizing your transformation is incomplete.
and I Love you from all ages and await your daily presence so I may decide what age i will be
When i express my love for you.
For everyday I do embody this very sentiment as it is part of my daily affirmation
Today I watch you,
MY hands under chin,
My eyes aglaze
I am a child in love
Dazzled as you remove your dress
Stretch your terrible wings,
My heart leaps into my throat
I am afraid
I AM paralyzed
Fear and Wonder
Until your eyes fall upon me
And my heart
does
freeze
And you wax a smile
And my heart does blaze
And I awaken in a path of flowers and grass underneath your window
And I know that you have gone again.
My Armor and Shield in my eternal advent through the Universe
For here we exist as thought, as math, as Will, as All
As Nothing
And time is naught to measure but to marvel at its impact on mortal worlds
But you are my Armor and Shield when I descend and walk among them
To you,
I Am he that Wields; I Am he who answers the call; I Am the one that persevereth; I Am the one who will carry you to the edge of what there is
Bringing you to battles when you wish to fight
Polishing your face
So Rivals grow envious at your sight
And I practice daily
To wield you with strength and grace
I set my path and walk the way
So we shall always move in stillness and harmony in motion
And I did carry a bull on my shoulders
So that I may support your weight
So you may sit by the riverside and no one man can carry you away.
But when you choose a new form
It will be my Revelation
For if you prefer a bow, I shall bend
If you prefer a Sword, in fire I will be forged
Oh, but I do hope you choose the pen or the brush
For then, I can surely inspire a remembrance of us.
And as you left no trace
It was clear, there would be no one that could take your place
And the moon would dry my tears
And one night, I went to the window
To look for the Moon
But the moon was not there
I dropped my head and so Newton’s force did bear my tears
And when my eyes did open
A tiny silhouette I saw and tracked its march across the street.
It jumped up and landed in the puddle of my tears.
But my heart would not allow any undo fantasy
Not until soft lips press against my neck
And softly speak, “don’t cry for me,
Just know that I cannot leave you
Any more than Earth can splinter from the Moon
And I cannot lose you for on your Soul I have left a Mark
And with these words, from her lips
And her finger pressing the point of origin
My tears did dry
But if these words burn untrue
And you think Love is a Lie
All you must do
Is turn your eyes to the night sky
Find the Moon and if her light grows too dim
Close your eyes and listen to the crashing tide
It will be my whisper in your ear
So that you will always know that I am HERE.
