Rsvp (For Mgh)
I've heard words falling from lips like petals
My poems praised like dead heroes
For unbequeathed solacies
And sometimes a genius ask me where
Do the words from come from
Like drops of blood to stain a memory
I smile
Repress the bloom of agony
And wished if only they know
Every word is every drop me
Nothing to waste
Of images
Needling through the story like a cloth
A tapestry of my pain,
Things lost that I never celebrated
Things I cannot reclaim
Haunting me from an undead past
Love burried
Rumbling for a ressurection
Just to kiss the moon again.
Drop by drop
The water falls from green leaves
That cannot drink the diamonds of their diadem
Taste it, without the salt of sea or blood
Heaven writes it poem in a flood
And I am the sea, I catch them all
The sorrows of the world brooding in me
To peel your clothes away
And touch the delicacy of your skin
Like memories touch
The portals of a pregnant day.
Once in a while I am a man
A card will come
RSVP lettered in gold upon silk
I show my face
Beside the blue of sea, a palm leftover
From the struggles with the storm.
Once in a while
I write nothing but a tear
For the broken spell I had on you
And wish like a poem
I could stain your heart with love.
