JUBILANT FATHER
His face is like a sun, warms the moon beside him.
She´s grown full; tonight begins the waning.
The tide pulls through her very bones,
her form aches as each wave crests.
The earth pulse, heavy, blood warm within her
Beats new chords, old sun god chants.
"You are the first mother and the last,
all spring flesh has traveled through you."
Aztec plumed and gold beaded,
your priest kneels at the holy alter,
gathers each salt pearl shed, nectar for his sacrament.
You are the temple,
we pilgrims swept through the gates,
bent figures know the scent and petals of your presence,
spread our arms to harvest blossoms,
and your priest, sun struck, kneels beside you.
. Do me a favor, and give the devil my regards, [because i won't last long] As I draw upside-down smiley faces on foggy car windows, With the merest of attempts to catch one last glimpse Of your silky black hair, and the everlasting halo around you.
And not even these telescope eyes are strong enough to see, The fakest of smiles collide with our love. But, maybe, someday we'll come to the realization that --
Today is the day we replace the commas midway through our sentences, And replace them with the hope of realizing that, With every single word we say now on, creates the comparison of long-distance calls,
And lover's tryst.
Is it me, or is it colder than it should be here in June? Because it feels more like December, minus the the neatly wrapped gifts under the tree, And the dying realization of such a great day, and minus the clocks To help us keep track of the time, As the seconds, plus the pain handicap us with the remorse.
So, do me a favor, and let's leave space for a part two, that corresponds, Because this scene isn't ending with bidding farewells, and, The failed demonstration of our Beauty And The Beast romantics.
Today is the day we replace the commas midway through our sentences, And replace them with the hope of realizing that, With every single word we say now on, creates the comparison of long-distance calls, And lover's tryst.
Is it me, or is it colder than it should be here in June? [Maybe it's just me..]
