Love


Love
I've set out to find you
where the dawn
is blossoming
at the sea

The ocean is immortal
sleeping naked under
restless moonlight
jewels aglimmer 
on a crested globe

My eyes they wander
There is too much boredom
to my hallucinations
There is too much violence
to your beauty

I observe the stars
spilling out as if the sky
were turned upside down

I question heavens constellations
The angels have revealed
their true darkness: temptation
is but a disloyal thief

I fall to sleep in insanity's panoply
I take on civilization by submission
The alchemical fish are swimming
near the edge of the senses

Oh how fragrant 
was the innocence of our youth
now camouflaged by necessity
and greed

I resign myself to be astonished by
beautiful words because they are our
last hope before the stars' end
I choose poetry
The only kind of love
