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.
