Perception As Love

This isn’t for that, as this is for that, to unravel chemistry; as born your life, to panic as trauma, this coasting event; so much as passion, crossing stagnant lines, in that place of holiness. I felt you in laughter, this present vibration, as such were tears; to surf Atlantis, as reading Augustine, to imagine such confessions; where love is a feeling, as seeping into actions, a woman chiseling an ark; to have for daybreaks, this subtle annoyance, as to fathom this sensation. I died to love you, as acquainted barely, as some type of sickness; where love was forbidden, and love was screaming, and pain mounted infusions.

I tried to leave us, this vicious motif, founded in ovaries; to climb this womb, and panic this stroke, as hips fall apart; to pause and die, as one afraid, of this glorious woman. The years are attics, where mice roam, nibbling upon thoughts; thinking of brawn, enflamed by substance, as wanting grave intelligence; this gothic thrill, this internal freezer, sweating in a summer rain. We’ve broken cameras, this false image, as captured by eye-prints; so pray this soul-vein, streaming this mindcave, as bleeding to hold one moment; or cherish this fancy, where such was monumental, to affect three fourths of my life.

We find for reasons, where facts were laden, to love our-enchants; as crooked this thought, to walk in fiction, and love you with paranoia; where gods war, and disciples mourn, and children plead for sobriety. I long your nights, and crave your days, as one sick with this invention; where serpents peek, through sable eyes, as to enliven life; as petals trickle, through fevered souls, to form an image; where I sigh your name, as something so far, as wishing it was easy; as to jettison such warmth, for drilled in lust, where the magnets lack resistance. I couldn’t but hope—of velvet sheets, encrypted in nightmares; to love an image, this vision of tears, for hell has embedded its jewels.
