Should I die |

should i die
God’s messengers meet
tell them I would
of you
their untested souls
thirst for the female
they may never experience
tell them pricked ears
of how in softest silk
you are clad compleat
and when you speak
the sonorous voices
of a babbling brook
my heart fills with naught
but a joy in heaven
unimaginable
and when Providence
tickles, your eyes
— hairline slits smiling
the world fill with a light
that rivets my intellect
to the ethereal
recount to these large
vaporous children of God
what their essence yearns for
I would, and speak of things
intimate snd secret
of the rhythm of your breath
as you practice each night
returning to heaven
whilst I watch over you
of the ecstasy of your lips
when offered so fully to me
pregnant with the splendour
of your sweetness — a taste
the wildest of bees
could not imagine distilling
of the power you wield
over my unenlightened spirit
when you my claims indulge
desires sate, wishes purvey
how is it you can
what no angel could hope to
perform this quotidian miracle
to brighten what is dark
to nurture what needs to grow
create unfathomable equilibrium
with I as the sole witness?
that they too could give
testament to the will of God
like I can!
to come and wear the flesh
cry the tears and wander lost
for an aeon and twenty
to starve for the divine
lose faith in the Father
suffer the blight of sorrow
withering in uncertainty
etiolating in the self
abandoning all sense
but the ruin of nihilism
and then to find you
