for the moon
champion of darkness
i long to
creep inside your head
marinate in your thoughts
until they
seep into my subconscious
i want to understand
what makes you tick
read the fundamentals
of your story
trace the maps of your journey
so i know the direction
from which to approach you
King,
i've never been intrigued like this before
i want to write you like
science fiction
send our bodies to outerspace
and birth new civilizations
from our union
i want to
boldy go
where no woman has before
get lost in the caverns of your mind
and recline on secrets
you have never shared
just open the door
and i will gladly cross the threshold
trade in reality
to exist solely as your fantasy
a single star
stuck in orbit around your sleeping frame
shining my light as a reminder
that you are never alone.

as buzz aldrin
imprinted himself in history,
i left wary footprints
upon your soul.
for if the eagle has landed,
when shall we fly again?
Queen,
i've never been afraid,
defender of light
flushed cheeks and warm
skin,
satisfied with our late night
escapades through the surreal
land of togetherness.
i need you to
claw at my frailties
until they scab and harden
break down these invisible fences,
partition has never worked
throughout history.
my mouth opens
and closes, choking
on promises of a former pact.
held back by past deeds,
i'm jacob marley.
escapism,
zipping up my suit
inhaling personal oxygen - you,
i am a voyager exploring the abyss
that is your soul.
cupping personal mountains
between each hand,
i am edmund hilary
i am a knight
i am a god
i am nothing.
longing to trespass upon your world
acquainting myself
with every nook and cranny,
running clumsy fingers over
glowing skin
which croons at my touch,
it's morning song
as sweet as the nightingales lullaby.
i pray,
do not tell me
of your hopes and dreams
as differences quiver
between us like a musical
note carried by the breeze.
this moment should be set in diamond,
sparkling forever,
allowing lovers and friends
to glimpse at perfection.
as civilisation beckons i
leave,
somebody has to be judas.
