Not Sure

come with me to the river

take my hand

walk with me into the water

kiss me while we tumble off the tightrope

dividing life from death

swim with me

among the darkness and shadows

of loves murky depths

hold me for all time

as lovers have done for eons

 

I will whisper to you words

you cannot hear

the roar of the rushing waters is too loud

I cry tears you will never see

salty warmth, lost in the raging river

pain and sorrow

at the anger in your eyes

promising pleasures

that feed my hungry dark soul

I live and die in loves shadow

as you tear my heart from my chest

It bleeds so much that i may die

 

When you hold me in your arms

with velvet tenderness

lay me softly down

and love me

my heart

the centre of a cosmic explosion

shatters into a million pieces

borne upon the wings of angels

To the ends of the universe

 

I hear your sighs

and open my mouth to speak

but there are only bubbles

encased within each one is me

face pressed to the window

tears and joy

each bubble rises slowly to the surface

bursting in the brilliant sunlight

the story is lost

a thousand tales untold

between dreams and reality

loves illusions

it is unclear

whether i am alive or dead
