Rsvp (For Mgh)

I've heard words falling from lips like petals
 My poems praised like dead heroes
 For unbequeathed solacies
 And sometimes a genius ask me where
 Do the words from come from
 Like drops of blood to stain a memory
 I smile
 Repress the bloom of agony
 And wished if only they know

 Every word is every drop me
 Nothing to waste
 Of images
 Needling through the story like a cloth
 A tapestry of my pain,
 Things lost that I never celebrated
 Things I cannot reclaim
 Haunting me from an undead past
 Love burried
 Rumbling for a ressurection 
 Just to kiss the moon again.

 Drop by drop
 The water falls from green leaves
 That cannot drink the diamonds of their diadem
 Taste it, without the salt of sea or blood
 Heaven writes it poem in a flood
 And I am the sea, I catch them all
 The sorrows of the world brooding in me
 To peel your clothes away
 And touch the delicacy of your skin
 Like memories touch
 The portals of a pregnant day.
 
 Once in a while I am a man
 A card will come
 RSVP lettered in gold upon silk
 I show my face
 Beside the blue of sea, a palm leftover
 From the struggles with the storm.
 Once in a while 
 I write nothing but a tear
 For the broken spell I had on you
 And wish like a poem
 I could stain your heart with love.
