Light and Flame
(written on the 21st)
Today I found out that the 21st of May
was more special than I had realized.
A child who longed to conquer everything:
the world, herself
and all the demons in between
was born.
For a second the world turned Crimson,
and the roses she dyed cried ‘She is near, she is near;’.
I paced my room on the morning of the 21st,
thinking: (What could I give you?)
My gifts would not reach you in time
My voice was not strong enough to reach your lands
and time slips through fingers like sand.
If distance was not so crippling a force
This is what I would do.
I’d clear the way for your arrival
Tell the flowers: S
croon to me in the darkest part of the night the story of your starborn soul, little darling look at me, sweetheart and let me gaze into the depthless time interred in your ageless eyes follow me along the sunset starpath that blips and glints over the cresting waves of your favorite lake, little lover weave your fingers with mine, my dear as we wander into the star-speckled blackness of an ever-changing Future
Tell me why can't they just leave you alone?
When night comes you continue to spin and turn.
When day comes you begin to be weary and felt your heart burn.
Tell me, my dear.
Tell me why you fall down.
Where is your crown?
Please, my dear. Don't let your soul drown.
If only I was there with you.
So that your smile won't turn into a terrible frown.
My dear wears a night cloak within his soul.
A cloak of the unknown.
A cloak stuck within his bones.
My dear is the night who falls asleep as he hides behind a hidden light.
His cloak is known to be the unknown but his cloak is so warm.
So warm like a flaming fire of a subtle candle.
My dear is my night.
Because he covers me with constellations of stars that shines in his eyes.
My dear is my night but goes away like the wind of midnight.
Although difficult to understand.
He's still a kid.
If any shadows dare to haunt him, I will crush them underneath my feet
And I will burn it with heaven's light.
I will have it in my hands so I can see it
