I slumbered within places meant for peace--
finding none.
I stood on ground which had not been lived upon
knowing it too well likened to the darkness in my heart,
overgrown and fierce--changed with intrusion.
No, it is not my place, nor my state of mind which binds me--
no transcendance shall happen here.

“bye”

No other shall remember.
It is not meant,
                       unimaginable.

I struggle to find the appetite--
“To whom does the spring belong,
Arise; arose, arisen”

More than memories.
Liquid to the linear’ murmuring thirst.

Excite me.
Take me as if I were a guest; Delight me.
Differing we met--
the interpreter dead.

How may I speak without words?
Let me explain in bodily fluids,
and a nerve system that obeys your touch...

And I will take no advice--
linger not in doubt or reason, nor logic.
Weather I descend, ascend, or stay rooted
on the ground.

I want to see the imbalance through the eyes in chaos--
without veils or assumptions.

Tell me have you let your fingertip explore your lip,
while my kiss would cause a different sensation--
yet I do not want to kiss you so the world knows I have,
I want to kiss you because I have a desire to.

Absence from the flesh.

I am a man, just a man.
I watch with hungry eyes and speak in animal tongue,
and feel the heat rise in me, the body in speech--
the breathing becoming heavy, and if I let myself
I would surely ravage you in many ways not caring
what becomes of you, nor me.

But, I do not.

those eyes may yet comprehend my will-power’
such it is that I have saved you from me.

“bye”
