Vesper // Light
A culmination bubbling;
May I feel the phantom light of you again?
The affections evanescent and intertwined ~
I have studied your love from a distance, from a time,
A winding river of churned milk
Where bathing spirits sway and
You, my constant homeward star across my roving life,
I breathe you ~
I long to sleep by you, (only you!)
In deep, silken caress
Against the darkened indigo crush that is velveteen night,
A free-fall and a satisfaction
We slalom, twist and float
To align our adrenaline hearts ~
(I know I fuck you better!)
Who better understands the brightening intelligence of your eyes?
Although I have worshipped at the feet of false paramours
And others have praised your skin,
I can assure you
No one has been more devoted than I
Watching you disappear and fade
With each sunny death ~
I regret all the dilatory and wish upon
The long call of the unstruck sounding,
I am finally awakened to
You, my dream never-ending.
