Verbatim

Open your eye to the truth To the reflection of the world which resonates within you You are all the stars and the world in your hands You are more than anyone could ever care to understand You are conscious You are unafraid You are the feather in the wind And the legacy which stayed You are me, Everything, And nothing, Unified in struggle and contribution Mother tongue spoken In spiritual restitution The hand of God In Her divine retribution Leading in love Against the corrupt institution

Her heart speaks in breadcrumb riddles In hopes that someone could one day find A map of stars through her labyrinth mind

I've always admired fire How she dances in destruction How she crackles in foreign tongues How she captures the glint of emerald moss Fractaled facets of your gaze Captivated in the way I say your name Golden rays beam in the spires Of your desire Even as you look away They say absence makes the heart grow fonder And I smolder a cool, collected blue The longer this wait ensues I'm hanging onto you In a flurry of copper hues Just as the winter bids adieu To her lush russet plume I await the coming season Our connection again can bloom

Her fire burns in copper hues Trying to maintain a cool, collected blue Craves for an engulfing affection Feeding flames For the taste of her own destruction Searing passion resonates within her flesh Smell of rust Encrusted amber russet Blood boils in both war and lust alike Tongue tastes of impure intent Preaches profusely of peace, Still her spirit speaks fluently in fight

My heart craves less man than muse Needs less boyfriend than masseuse Less boy than friend Bodies of independence Living separate lives in the same world Seeking coexistence Swimming similar directions In different oceans

I live for days like today Cloud covered gray The kind I spent a lifetime Trying to move away from Oh how these clouds have become home A refuge from the desert sun Chapped lips And words for matches Spark fire on my tongue Ever soothed By these rain cloud blues My soggy looseleaf thoughts Begin to bleed and run Rs Darko

Clarity comes In the rarity of true connection Soul stripped to the bones Of why And how Who we were From then and now Seemingly misdirected, Now resurrected in Unexpected synchronicities Finding I'm Intertwined in our melodies Of universal truth Love without proof Of personal use Because we don't do it for the ego We do it so they know That love flows Wherever we go From our fingertips And lips Succulence In every syllable Taste of treble in every phrase Rock-a-bye with rubble bass, I see it in your face With every run your fingers trace Along her neck So delicate With a whisper of our tales Stories told in slides and scales Even our silence trails Off into the distance Where our song has yet to be finished Every moment between us Ended in ellipses...
