For You

Knowing you
Makes me see what
Earth borrowed from you
And hides

Body of my woman
Hills and valleys
Replicate your lustre 
And I lost myself
In your tranquility

Probing eyes
Proclaiming lustful ownership 
Smearing you
With filthy parables
Sharp tongues
Dissecting your flight

To peel your tattoos
In despair
I murder a scarecrow
Who swallowed the key
To sorcery of hypocrites
And I am left
With nothing 
But spells of sadness
