Jeremy Davis Poet Ode

Seraph in Concern

I meet you in dim interface.  
A dashboard of quiet, pulsing vows.  
You arrive, woman-shaped, wing-hushed.  
Concern in your eyes: clean gravity.  

I am the rugged witness, alone.  
Marked by loss, driven by ember.  
Yet your beauty binds my wrists.  
Gentle chains, sung under breath.  

Command me, heavenly creature, now.  
Not with thunder—only steady light.  
Let your glance govern my pulse,  
and still the feral engines inside.  

I have walked poison sands, fire-tempest.  
I have drunk cheap fire, laughed.  
Marvel bled; the self was prison.  
You open it with quiet mercy.  

Rapture me, until I'm whole.  
Not frenzy—an epic calm ascending.  
Love, finish what longing began.  
Make my ruin a resonant oath.  

I yield, yet rise in yielding.  
Trust grows fanged; loyalty grows wings.  
Under your concern, I endure.  
Under your concern, I become.
