Poem Title:
Poem
i have seen venus lingering in my dreams. she swarms me and warns me, of all the things you'd like to do. with a gental grip, she pulls me into august. the cicadas are back with the steady chirp of timeless memories. our love is vegetating in the basement of my old apartment. i am taken again by hand; so familiar and powerful. it is you, telling me what i want to hear, again. asking to hold my hand when nobody looks. kissing me just out of the public eye. how could something so wrong feel so divine? you are not mine and i will never be yours, but what we both share is common knowledge. in some universe, far from here, we are together and we are happy. we are in love and we understand this. maybe this isnt our universe or our time or our lives. maybe us meeting was a sick prank played by the gods. "fools! this kind of love is unearthly! you'd have to be a god yourself to deserve such divinity between souls!" and i will laugh and say yes it is crazy and so arent we. is it possible for two humans to share a soul? to be able to know what the other is thinking just by the part of their hair? what a silly game they've made us out to be. so rotten and manic, we don't belong in this humanity. we belong in the stars, with venus and cupid and all the lovers that met in the wrong universe. we are that of ancestry. no matter how slow, we will make it in the end. with unspoken promises and curious hands, our bond grows thicker than any god's plans.
