Love Poem: Pink Sky Hue

Pink Sky Hue

I would smash you up
Into smaller pieces
Just to see you from
Another angle

Bend my face
On the spoon
To bear in mind
How warped the mind
Can become

Massage
And pet names
Are merely a form of dance
To get insane

With your long blonde hair
And your eyes of blue
A land of dreaming spires
Pink sky hue transpires

And Me!
17
18
Years young
A first floor urchin
Undeserving
A second floor princess

So...
So so, so
So squeeze sorrow
Between the curtain
Twist it
Turn it
Soak in it
Learn it

The water
Of her vase
An algorithm
Too complex
For the flowers of the urchin
My mind a fading rainbow
That I lurch out
That I lurch in

Guarding of eternity's gate
Pinky hue sets late
Take your place
Aside me
Under the stars
A sorry reprobate
