Element: Void


Void
This is where there is nothing;
Nothing between us, nothing around us,
Nothing but us.
No space as I enter you,
No distance as you clench me,
No time but that told by the beating of our hearts.
We singular are, one from many,
And nothing exists but your nails in my back,
My breath on your neck,
My hands under you, lifting you,
Your eyes holding me, lifting me.
We are the friction of dark galaxies,
Filling what was never meant to be empty.
Frantic in our desire to be,
To create,
We have inhaled each other’s souls and bodies,
Quenched the thirst of our needs,
Reflected on our desires
Nourished our animality
Set fire to Infinity
And radiated the equations of Eternity
All with this Lust,
With this Love that we were made from and made for.
We move against, into, with one another
As if for the first/last time,
Like all that has been hasn’t,
Like we are something new in this Universe
Until your body shudders against me,
Carrying me away in its blessing
And I speak my word into your void,
Our particles colliding up, down, top and bottom,
Screaming each other’s names
As we fall spent,
Strange and charmed,
Knowing we have held nothing back,
Left nothing out,
And have nothing left.

The Riddle of Sand


I:
Angel of Broken Stones
“So heavy the burden I bring with me from the past,
I doubt that I should make these vows for the future.
                                                     – The Tale of Genji

I am the eater of days,
Father of the Indefinite roads of Time,
Consuming hourglass moments and sundial liquor.
As I let the ages run down a throat
Dry with ancestors dust and the heat of being,
I swallow sand and time,
Drinking dust
Drinking dust
Tasting in it steel and blood,
Diamonds and lead-
Sweet sepulcher wine.
I bring a song of kings and battles                                              
Sung in the voice of the outer world,
War and warriors all fall forgotten, water upon the sand
While my wings beat
And stir the other side of the light.
I am the arbiter of dreams,
Sender of the dark sundrinkers
That sail through the cold, impotent ashes
Left after the living fire of the Childe of Night
Turned the men of dust into the dust of men.
We seek the jewels of the desert, the roses of the sand.
