As I lay Me down To Sleep-Erotica Gods and Lovers

As I lay Me down To Sleep-Erotica Gods and Lovers

It will never
Be
Enough
Only to love me
To steal flowers from the dead
To place at my feet
And in my hair
It will never wake me
As you wish…

No
Never enough
To ease this solitude
Of churning lava blood
I was born to see

Oh these insistent dreams
Of tragedies
Are blooming beautiful
Love stories
I wait for them at the door
Of Prussian blue
Skipping beat heart
And Sunday school grin

Here lies my first and last breath
Pennies on my eyes
Removed by God…

    I want to just swim in this beauty! She seems so concerned about what she sees.
    She’s worried about their souls? Or her own?
