i am time and you are space the goddess waits
in the dawn of blood, in the Age of Gas & Blood.
the murder of emotion doesnt suit me
it makes a crone of youth
giving reign to the Hand of stench-stiff Death.
she wears her vulnerable nature like a crown;
to fall in love with a god is easy
but to learn to love him back is more like
a trip to the dentist every day
or being put on the racks for good, i would,
my legs spread out before you
like the broken wings of a dove,
enduring offerings of leather incense,
reminding me of the prayers of the animals.
my thoughts are not my own,
and neither are my tears. the rain isnt mine,
cant you see the source of fear? daddy, i dont
want to be human anymore.
i could live like that, i could turn myself to stone,
and, heart made of stone, flesh made more
solid still--is that your wish, my sweet?
to be a statue next to you, our love carved out
more eternal, carved out in stone with us inside,
a picture of ecstasy . . .if the carver had carved
at least our fingers touching, here we are,
carved, forever wanting, reaching.
and though we've feet now, and minds
to move them, our hearts turn jade
and love becomes something forgotten
in this quest of proving. i always like the way
my eyes look after crying, more honest,
sometimes, because i can't walk when i feel,
i have to lie or die. i eat portkins and turnips
and daffodil-ears, i move like a snake
sometimes for change, my eyes see you and me
my lord, our subjects scattered in the wind

Humbling, and deep. I'd love to see inside your psyche sometime.
Good use of words... I love the imagery and hints...
