If

This will come directly from inside
For I ran out of ornaments for vocabulary

I am walking on a deserted highway today
And a cushion of air
My feet…
They do not touch the ground
If there is such a thing like an ethereal walk
Here I am…Walking it

And there are no apparitions for me to hijack
I am in the middle of everywhere
A blade without its handle cutting
Both ways in my hands
I am the self proclaimed
Amazon of Decease

I miss the middle of my nowhere
Do you believe me?
If I only knew
But maybe it is all about not knowing
No No..NO!
It is all about knowing everything yet
Choosing not to remember everything

Do you understand?
If only you did…

I stand on the wrong side of the sea
Bearing wrong side of fate
If only I remembered how to swim
If only you waited for me on the shore

The highway merges into the ocean
Ocean streams into the horizon
This sea-bearing symbol aids me in a water walk
Led by the trace of moonlight

There is a distant hymn in the air
A Seraph flies past the sky
Mistaken for a comet by the naked eye
And amidst this cleaving hallucination
Can you complete that sentence for me?
If only you could…

I am following your absence tonight
An errand to need you
A kaleidoscope to have but not to hold
Will you refill the space you leave around me?
If only you would…

I am by myself as
The clock strikes twelve
Today is mayday
Once they told me I wrote misery
Better than I did happiness
Once they told me my beauty was at its peak when in rage
Now you see why I became their gravedigger!
Do you have a poem for me?
If only you did..

My lips run dry
They cannot cry
And right here behind my eyes….you are
Hidden against everything worldly
But am I secluded likewise?
If only I were…

I may be a genie in the bottle you hold
Or Jasmine on a flying carpet
I know a whole new world by heart
But can you be the Aladdin of an Arabian tale?
If only you could…

If you let me be your Scheherazade
The one to adorn your thousand and one nights
I will never leave your side until you sleep safe and sound
Will you still slaughter me in the end?
If only I could tell…

To kiss this tempest some solace
End the Titans’ reign for a new tomorrow
Be my God
Through whom I experience I
So that I’ll be your Goddess
Through which you experience you
But am I the Muse on your lips?
If only I were…

I have a life vacant for you
A love completely healed…should that be your heart’s wish
Crimson possibilities in azure togetherness
But do you have a stare spared
Or a song solely sung for me
Deprived of ambiguity?
If only you had….

Despite all the privy clauses I bouse
I still walk on these tidal waves
That carry your trace…. my Lighthouse
Will you illume your eyes on time?
If only you were forever…...
