sunflower clouds

 
the Earth moved
I stood still
 
as time spun out of control
& a star trailed blood across the night sky
 
while orchids pirouetted in the garden
at the sight of you
 
your hard jaw
that makes me weak
the gravel in your voice
brings angels to their knees
 
calls forth the demoness in me
I hiss a lullaby for the damned
cut out a piece of your heart
wear it round my neck  
 
keep it as a charm
of what could be
a ward against what shouldn't
 
the Earth moved
I stood still
 
the tide is high now
I'm awash in lust
the undertow has taken me
 
delivered to a new dimension
with a bruised moon
sunflower clouds
 
where the hard tick of your jaw
can't send chills down my spine
leave me reeling on the floor
I've picked myself up
 
shut the door on what isn't
& in came the sun
as orchids pirouetted in the garden
at the sight of the Goddess within
