Dying Over
dying over you
A prayer for vision
for knowing
for feeling
biting time
tasting tears
breathing the water in
choking on my fears
his lungs or mine?
time to drink this poison wine
giving in and giving up
giving God all that is Gods
unto Ceasar is my flesh and bone
unto the dirt is my time alone
unto the sea is my skin that lets all the salt in
unto the air is all this wisdom that lies within
blood is mixing with the elixir of hades
with Persephone and all her ladies
time to wake up, time to be reborn
rip out all this sugar sweet
black and blue and torn
close the door on tiny hands
on tiny fingers and toes
on tiny feet
mommy needs her privacy…mommy is busy
she is drowning in this sea of ecstasy
god forgive the loss to know you through the portals of strange bed fellows
windows to these angels
to the much that is miss bitterness
looking back nostalgia
looking forward
forcing forward
pushing up daisies before the grave
is there something here you wanted me to save
can i take something with me, can i take this dream
down your stream
to my holon melt
god take this poison cup from my destiny
it was love with which you broke me
but fear is all i felt
