Oh love that will not let me go
will you wrap me up green
towel
and dry me up
residue
all dripping off me
tears sweat
sweet and
enough.
oh love that will not let me go
a flickering light
can you make it blaze
a little more
so i
can see
I am out of sight
from everyone
from myself
from my truth
I need a getting back
and a warm hug
that lasts
a lifetime
unquivering
and
unwavering
unlike
every other
handshake hand hold
i have ever had
sad world
all alone and gray
all ships
sinking
eventually
because of decay
i need an anchor
i need an anchor
wrap the fat chain around my wrist
the whole world moves
and is swallowed by sky
the anchor tall i am alone and proud
a love that will not drown
in tumultuous black abiss
like everyone else
like everyone else
shoot for perfection
shoot amiss
and you just wanting
someone to come home to
and not have to
wonder forever
when their love
will rot up like dust
and feather away
into the night
you just want to be home
and stay home with something
that will never die
but that is just one of our
age old lies
immortality will never be ours
our time sand
slips out
out and is
never enough
unfailing love
neverending
never fading
never slipping
not once
not faltering once
not changing once
not deluding
fiercely forever never trips in
intensity
solid and untouchable
perfectly kept
while all erodes
through
the racing modes of
eternity
be mine be mine
because no one else
can stay aflame
for me.
no cooing eye
nor solid flesh
can last and breathe with me
when the world and all
its madness colors and singing
ceases to be.
