BELOVED
May I be loved by you?
my dearest mirror
shine your reflected light unto me, my love
let me see self
beyond all the wishes and wants
the raw, and rotting skin I wear
the worms call me, to lie with them
one day, I will find the portal
to other worlds, of myself unknown
may death leave no trace of me behind
may I lay with my lover for the last time
And may I know that night to be the darkest
which carries the most light
the light of my soul burning,
burning into you my love
though before that time comes
when day turns to starry nights
may I be loved by you?
as lovers do
my dearest mirror
may I shine my reflected light onto you?
like a flicker of a second
of illusions which made magics true
And in this time we have here
my bones go so weak and splinter
my eyes dissolve into your eyes
and my bones crush, into white glossy powder
Just a spark in time we have together, my love
will you be my mirror?
Shine your reflected light onto me
don’t let me disappear, don’t let me turn to a hazy wonder
Can you feel my asking?
Would you be the glorious castle
where I can reside, protected and shielded
from all that could come to fade
May I be your mirror?
Shining my reflected light onto you?
I watch your hands, so delicately holding mine
as they do
as time welcomes the creases,
the creases of our wrinkled and tainted encapsulations
of explosive burning souls
like paper thin bark blowing from trees
tearing apart
leaving only scattered remains
of what was once you and I.
May we be each others mirror, my love
a temporary glimmer of hopeless loves and failures
of devastating dreams and tears intwined
of forgotten dreams once in full bloom
yet left behind
like autumn leaves dancing
punished and broken, laid into the soil
where our death be consumed and laid
under the cold and forgotten stones of yesterday
May we be each others mirrors my love?
Reflections of each moment
let our light burn, into the eternal flame
and know that we shared this reflection
that we knew self, if only for a second
May I be loved by you, my mirror?
Look to me, to see the demise of seconds before
and as we nourish the Earth with the cells
in our bodies that once were alive and well
we shall enter the portal to the other worlds unknown
dancing as fire flies do
in the mystery of nights
No one need see us
two shimmering ghostly hues of beings ablaze
May we be each others mirrors, my love?
As we know our shattered truths
in this moment be made untrue
will you dance with me my love?
in our union of reflections
will you be my mirror?
dance with me for eternity
in the other worlds, from other realms
beyond all we can see
will you be my mirror my love?
be one with me....
