Long poem: maze style Start 1-9 The velvet of your black wings Tastes to me like the beaten winds. It smells like scents of Etna’s ashen peak sneaking by To erupt my depths with cold, hard steel! My depths, indeed, died in those enchanted moments, Those moments when You teetered on the ledge, my ami, to feel The reprise of a smile which put out the light Slipping on a faded and crumpled floor A throne of day, beset with shades All scratched around time’s core. Still, no time to flee! You sat down gently, playfully, Swinging his foot, You hide behind the curtain, a moonlit deer. You bled a silhouette with the shadows of the absolute... The shades of a heavenly sphere... I knew! All of this mere illusion of the night! I knew! Still, my body hungered for your might! The spell of fear, the cross Both rest in vain. Powerless, they are, for the secret burned lane! And your blade went about removing burdens within My heart, my walls, my eaves Yet burden still fell, as dead leaves, As agony’s ash... Yet I am yours, all yours! Past drops in abyss! I’m yours, on the edge! All to-be - in trash. I saw fighting tongues of velvet, fading sparks in the smoke Within my eyes. You were fast, you were sweet, you were crazy yet wise! The force of sunset left me crucified, down It ground from my ash a pulsating groan. The velvet sways as the milk on sky-ways. The light drew your lips to it with innocence! Oh, heaven, I prayed: “Reduce the steps, trace Between he and I, between the dreams tie” It merely destroys our inner sense! I move myself on... My breath shrinks to a mad ball In amongst chains of iron veins Suffering is faceless, and shame is Belshazzar’s fall Before hordes of sweet lust, and the banes. My move towards you left me baring my flesh And all shivered in blooming, an echo sounds! It awoke even dew On the luxurious mesh of my brown skin. Your blade kissed, and stays tunic bound Only a step, oh! My king! I was squeezed like a vine, and so, gagged and alone with a shrouding of silk suffering under my bones. It envied the tenderness of darker bonds! After I touched your flesh, grasped half a heart. All closer and closer, I watched how hearth's parts To warm my doubts through the night. And so, my heart beats, it throbs in pain and in fright! A single blink, a single breath, again and again, I felt only velvet, the velvet of your wings, In sense, in my senses, it stayed darker than night, yet soft as incense...as... It feels as the mystery of an ancient shrine, Its colour, that infinity shine But I’m so carefree and young, burst in altar of tongue like an obsession ... I could crash down all the keys of temptation from the stairs of illusion! I could crush them like a time frozen bud - those keys revive stoney dreams, your death, with hot blood. I could abandon the wisdoms of your charmed gaze and all knowledge in the depths of a maze the crown on the two warm horns. I could abandon all of this, like skyey thorns, a burden for all the idolators psalms! Yet you remained ice calm, you remained so clever! You whispered to me that death would not come, not now, not ever. You whispered that there is only immortality where years line the dust with anointing oil And vices smolder on hard red soil And in the wind which scatters shattered bones, lust gives birth to faceless clones... A mirror melody of the flesh! Do you want me? Or my soul? For your throne which is raised above the shadows Of tamed W
