with in worlds out of focus
waiting with ones who know
what
waiting for
in sense (cence) no never
meaning what we do
in what realms lay wishes
becoming new
when what we (k)no(w) we ne-ne-ver
can do when we say what
comes to mind
why all talk at once and say so many
now now time now ready now what
to come
here meet
now in realms where came
the light in shadows once
I am my light here light herelighthere
light in all of darkness
I scream
I see only darkness and fear
not knowing all I fear
is at run from the light of my light
my light of all lights
why tears and tearing aching screaming
waiting for the light to come
not knowing that now all the light
has drawn to my light
my light of all lights
leaving me with all to see as darkness
hold my prayers and cold
because there is no light
no warmth outside me
donÕt I realize I have it all
little top little girl little spinningspinning
child
arenÕt you lovely
arenÕt you grand
arenÕt you ever to see you
through my eyes
No, my Robert, because you see
when my light absorbs all light
all outside my eyes is darkness
you say here
you say near
you say you
love me
want to touch me
feel me taste me breathe me into
until I am only one more fateless
trapped in you
sweet little suffering suffocating thing
"I will love you till you die"
and then shall you carry around
your sweet little smell of decay
your beloved corpse
to bring you luck when you wander
in graveyards late at midnight
and listen for my laughter
all is still
you will kill my spirit for no other reason
than to carry round its dust shimmering
no
for when I am dead
your world will again be gray
and shine no more
not even a glimmer
from the rotting pile of my soul
shall you love me then
reach and feel my ever softness
when the light in these eyes is gone
but faint warmth clings so tenaciously
to this body that never was mine
place a smile and gentle kisses
upon my lips
or ravage me as wild beasts
and pray my spirit
truly has nothing left that lives
nothing to see the blackness
black darkness of your being
as angels weep their lament in blood
what has become of their precious
their most sweet beloved child
the lovely one
who never knew her name
