Broken Soul Dear Soldier
Till my words fade to lilac not
Black or maybe white doves fall
From the blue and if I had to I
Would lie to the clouds beg them
For shades of grey so you’d have
To let me in then you’d have to
Let me love you but alas twilight
Ends with the same sounds as rising
Curses my scent lingering yet
Faint scrubbed hard to remove
Muffled screams from the temples
Of Venus: oh let my soul be slaughtered
Upon the crucifix betwixt thy breast
Plate bears the crest of a wounded
Venus her broken wings beat no
Longer her hummingbirds offered
As dowry to Hades she has been
Reborn Kore orbits built of her own
Fingers so I cannot feign moments
To touch her skin these scars were
Painted not by my wrists yet I pay
The toll instead the Ferryman cometh
His danake begs pounds and fleshy
Coloured precious stones even the
Skies never hold the same secrets as
The writings in my diary scribbled
On walls like Hadrian too long or
Tall to climb over or even march my
Legion around the carnage called
The last nine moments I felt your
Whisper to breathe life into an empire
Stacked upon revolt after revolt like
Schoolyard games like days blend to
Empty words and she is faceless in my
Gaze she is without essence in my arms
Running barefoot through sandstorms
In my dreams footprints washed away
As easily as they appear smaller than I
Remember them backward as if twisted
Around ancient scrolls her incantations
Decree gifts of my naked virginity her
Desires nail me to crosses like beds
And she rapes my love like and she
F*cks my soul undeserving and she
Breaks my heart
