Taken From Myself

Thief
With stealth and deception
     your skilled hands plucked the
     heart from my chest
Into my mind you poured
     a world that I
     wanted and needed to exist
From the marrow of my soul
     you sucked out my sense of self
With your severe tounge
     you hacked away my purpose and drive
I existed
     no longer within myself
     but within you
Taken advantage of
Cheated
Used
You never gave a damn
     and now it's my turn
So yes
Be in pain
Mourn me as I have mourned myself
     the self you set aflame
     with the heat of your bitterness
And be shocked
Be amazed
FEEL something for once
     feel it in the very seat of your soul
Know that I do not care
That the idea of anguish
     on your part puts a smile to the lips
     that you so desperately miss
I too could wild this power
     and have you crawl to me through broken glass
Make your spirit bleed
     and your blood pour
But this is where you and I differ
Where the divine still resides
     in my sublime flesh
That I still
     through it all
Know that I
     am no man's God
I have reclaimed what is mine
     stolen back
          that which you stole
And removed the blindfold
     so that now
          I can see

The Garden

Do enlighten me
Why do I desire you so?
Forbidden fruit that you are
     hanging temptingly down from a seductive bough
Saliva forming in the corners of my mouth
     daring me to taste the exotic juices of your tounge
All the while knowing
     that I would never get more
         than just a taste
For while you walk the day
     I inhabit the night
This knowledge does not extinguish
     the flames of lust that burn
     within the depths of my loins
Was Eve this tempted
     by the fruit she so daringly plucked?
How do I pluck you
     from the light of your noon
And enclose you in my arms
     under the shroud of my midnight?
I am not blinded by the truth,
     the truth of reality
But simply blinded by the sheer
     fact that I desire what
     will never be mine
Be glad
     that I know
That i am aware enough
     not to try and pull you into
     the light of the celestial bodies
          that give my nights a soft glow
But know
     should you decide to see what
     the night skies offer
I will pierce your skin
     and taste what fills you
Allowing you to simply exist
     in pleasure
Until your sun causes the stars
     to fade away
          in your return to the day
