Verbatim

I am the sum of these parts Wearer of scars, Collector of hearts, Creator of systems and stars Universal utero Third dimensional antihero Now Subtract the overblown ego Add all my past transgressions I can't let go Multiply my spirit by romance and wine Divide my efforts by space and time I am the sum of these parts An effortful collection Once fearful of death in nothingness Realized resurrection Through the depths of introspection I am Light Casting your shadows in every direction Skewed from the mould we were built in Original sin Plagued darkness In the vast abyss of the cosmic I'm not the same being you once saw Radiantly beaming between the empty spaces Light years ago Surrounded by different faces Who have since shone and passed Self-destructed Supernova blast They say this life is fast But it is preciously finite Celestially eternal Balance of both Shadow and Light Mortal plight Lessons for third sight Revolutions have not made me wise...

I write these words in hopeful thoughts That they may touch you in ways that my hands cannot The way the stars unveil our desires for the forbidden, Casting a mystic glow Upon the faces we've tried to keep hidden Beneath the cloak of our own shadows Dancing in moonlit reveries Sparking lightning between neurons, The touchless Kiss of flesh As the nerves ignite Like two galaxies Cascading into a horizon Of endless starry nights - rs.darko
