Shadow

 
goddess forgive my intrusion
where lash meets tears
my soul lingers catching your essence

I covet your breath as you breathe poetry
you are Shadow god's own ballerina
not intended for mere mortals

asleep...divinity in the flesh
kisses to your porcelain skin
in hopes of stirring you

I know you--
all the pieces you corset and hide
cinched tight so your spirit doesn't escape

you exhale ideologies
a deities amusement
they would carry you away gladly
to be a curiosity in their collection

you've evolved
and not even the god's know your nature
I know they question your truest intentions

the keeper of your most intimate thoughts
pours through your diaries
and still only touches your surface

never underestimating your depths
I stay in your shallows
with glimpses of your gentle genius

the Sadist who grooms
is a Master ov pain
mistresses across the universes
cruelly he bends to his will

I whisper look inside your words--
coded is a message
meant to awaken

until then I will be here silently waiting
skipping stones across your lakes
hoping one of my ripples reaches you
