Dark Clouds and Starlight

A Boy With Roses

my eyes wander back to the fluorescent night                                                                      

puckered bodies in heavenly pleasure                                                                                      

a dying light ruptures my room and falls to dust                                                              

in infinite dreams we are boundless, lost                                                                  

phoenix, but we are not immortal on our journey                                                                  

only seas when the blue overflows, overflows                                                          

untapered creations in the distant echo of madness                                                              

living for that limbless music, those magic spells, heedless                                          

vacancy when the faint glow clambers                                                                              

I open my eyes wide and I have outgrown this dream forest                                                          

illuminated branches in a weather-beaten fortress                                                                

oh, how gullible I was to take off, lingering in the void                                                            

mouthless in a cityscape, hands sewn into destiny                        

that drunk reasoning when the morning doesn't feel the same              

and I am bloated with regret, the song you sung so well                          

my foot in the door of memory kneeling when I pray                              

sculpted bronze out of clay, and oh, it was never easy                                                            

letting go of your love, your eyes so wistful and brown                                                

what would the gods think of us now?
