CONFUSIMUS




Like a lily in a desert
You withered
In the furnace of my love
Down you were at the bottom
Of the sea of an intense devotion
The loud melodies of my heart
Made you dumb

I bought you the moon
The twinkling made you blind
Then I weaved the stars for you
But the constellations gagged you
I peeled you a thousand foreskins
But my hands were too bloody
Then I jailed demons for you
Yet there was acid in my head

Then to one direction you pointed
Yet there appeared at the exit
A network of cobwebs: you
Don’t stop don’t stop you implored
Then I ran but waited
Ran as this liberation ensnared me
Ran as fast as my weary limbs could carry me
And as slow as my heart halted me

Don’t stop don’t stop you implored
Your hands flung open for a hug
I could hear your soul call
Yet your eyes lighted traffic red
So I ran but waited
Tearing through the winds
Chained to memories and solid echoes
Don’t stop don’t stop she beckoned
Yet I ran far away on one spot
