The party on the isle of me
Only you can reach

The darkenss only clouds half of my being
But the omnipresent sunlight reigns

You bring the light
Intense
Hot
Serpentine strings of the
Pure essence of you

Yet you are the darkness
The darkness that does not allow me to see
That you are all that is needed for me to be
Free

Yet, still
I see your eyes and feel
Lifted from the earth

Sent away, I am
To a world that has no boundaries
Your smile entices me to fly
Ensights me to sing
Entreats me to love your presence
To kiss the rain when you walk in every dropping puddle
To caress the lips of solemnity that
Eagerly await your soul's kiss
Laying in waiting for you
Gives hope to that which tortures me

Do you know...
Do you know that you send me
Send me to a place of such
Tormentous serenity?

Do you know...
Do you know that you hurt me
With such an erotic tinge of pain as to
Make me recoil with pleasure
Yet cry out loud because of the sting?

Do you know...
Do you know that you are the life of me
Yet the death of my belief that
I can have you
And in having you having the life to
Die happy in a state of
Painful happiness?
Blissful torment?

Do you know that
I love you?

Love your shadow
Love the power that emits from the very depths

You are the ocean
The waves that crash upon this
Isle of Me,
Myself and I are proud to say,
Have their way with us

Your smile enchants the ball
Each guest hidden under their
Masks of
Purity
Innocence
Prosperity in poor conditions

This masque of all shades
Has taken the form of one

My soul
Solitary and alone as it is
Yearns for the presence of
The essence of
The pure evanescence of
Yes, even the shadowy vapor of

Your love

Do you not see the mask my soul wears?
Do you see the tears painted in
Purple passionate pain
The lips cherry with
Scarlet anticipation
The hearts riddled in
Burnt blueberry aches and pains?

Do you not see
Me?

I am here
Where are you?

I am blue

Yv, I am not a good enough poet to crit someone else's work. (what about the crit forum??)
I enjoyed this, made me think, so in my eyes it is good.
