Reapsow

A Boy With Roses

My heart is a graveyard of dreams                                                                      

Scattered filaments over fertile grounds                                                                                

A river I've always loved, the blackblue night                                                                  

Every sacrifice we mustered, pierce through                                                    

Meandering drone like thunder in the skull, devoid                                                    

Your lungs are calling out for freedom 

 

It was obvious, you'll reap what you sow                                                                          

Fingers pushing through black eyes and smoke                                                                  

Weightless in this moment, the currents are mapped out                                            

Just another song and just another dance                                                                            

I tried to understand you, I tried to understand the sky                                                    

I wanted to love you like Sara loved you 

 

The inside of your body is the warmest hole                                                                    

Bury your seeds in me like I am your forever corpse                                                          

When the time comes, harvest my fears                                                                            

I will pity your words, the tears on my skin                                                            

I won't resist you, locked in the heart's cage                                                                  

Little heart flutters, my heart is just like a bird                                                      

At every narrow edge I burrow deeper                                                                    

Deeper into the soil, I squirm like a worm on a hook                        

Your fingers inside me, pushing into my red insides                                                                      

The strangest love is undefined, a whispering God                                                  

Murmur sentimental vows and sing me to sleep                                                

Oh, how every mountain we climb is a perpetual dream                                  

Flickering softness in my empty core.
