Love Poem: Secret Streets

Secret Streets

Down secret streets, I glide
Down boulevards that twist and turn
Down the lanes of lost imagery 
I have seen in vacant rooms
Of awakenings
Of wandering shadows
Your eyes of deep opaque sea
Like dreams unknown unseen
Where a halo of Sons fire burns
around a black hole 
full of dark secrets 
I see roads deep in the abyss
Strange days of bliss
I would war to heaven via hells 
gate for the keys to your soul
I would explore the secret streets of your desire
I will light hearts sacred scarlet fire
I pick your bitter rose 
I bleed on its righteous thorns 
I want you, no other 
But your essence wrapped around another
Deep is my abyss
How can I be blessed 
Down secret streets
I fly in grand galleries 
Lost images, memory 
Vacant rooms full 
of your shadow
Old furies
An Aqua season in infinity
Of sun fire haloed in apogee
Black voids I am lost in odd rooms 
Unknown unformed
I regress to canyons of solitude
Without you, I alone dwell 
in darkrooms of my soul 
I see you lingering 
Dappled in the flickering lights
from heavens war, a pale figure 
Of mechanical thoughts in Melancholy 
I wander down secret streets 
Lonely roads to nowhere
Full of oblique shadows 
Where you may transgress 
Your shadow lingers on my soul
Down thy inner realms where no one roams
