clandestine momentum (Sonnet) by skaskowski
On wild streams of sorrow sits
Your virtue, knit by heavenâs tears,
Into a tapestry of wilderness,
Your eyes the color of the moonlightâs kiss.
Touch my heart and pull from it,
Intertwined in its sinews, My Fear,
Who has danced for miles,
Cringing, smiling,
Tasting natureâs sweet destruction.
Draw near to me so sweetly,
Let me cradle you within the nook where
My ribs meet, after cracking, pulled apart
To allow extraction of this bleeding heart,
A planet spins tonight in silence,
Unaware of how this horrid violence perpetuates
The creation cycle that staples us here
To the ground.
On midnightâs blackened, shadow-leaves
My heart beats out these words, to you,
Carried on the wind, within the rustle of
Its movement in the trees.
Allow, for a moment, the song to breach
Those doors that you have locked, and reach
Into your ear, into your head,
Into your Brain, my dear, my dearâ¦
