You had the touch of Thanatos collecting girls’ souls and arranging them in a vase, leaving them to wilt like asphodels, and I am a fading blossom a red thread tying my fate to others as we dry out in this drought
"A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language." - W.H. Auden
I once knew a boy smart and charismatic voted most likely to succeed because he climbs pedestals like they’re mountains and I realized why thoughts Of him sprinted through my mind, but I realized, we are the same, color negative and color positive juxtaposed on the same roll of film

The first day we met you enchanted With your raven wings but you Were no Eros,no matter how Beautifully you wore your wings, And I could never be your Psyche.
You were Thanatos, and your touch Brings a drought to nature’s palate That not even Demeter can paint over
And now the garden we cultivated in our Heart has succumbed to the drought Leaving only a barren basin of Parched earth there Where only the skeleton of memories Remain, bones to be picked clean By our demons circling our empty skies
I should have walked away But my own folly has enraptured me and I am suspended in a limbo as you circle the canopy of my mind, taunting me the way the vulture leered at Prometheus every day, and I mark the days the dawn that bleeds across the sky, painting the gray heavens in temporary watercolor hues only to be washed away by the shadow of your wings as you descend, dragging the gray cloak over my skies and
I feel my crumpled heart falling with the gray curtain only for it to learn to regenerate its wings in synch with the rising and falling of the curtain you pull over my world
