whale tails

my love for you moves
right through me in waves
striking out at your soul
with childlike disgrace
drawn swords through blood
my jealousy takes
chained by your sorrow
no chance for escape
show me mercy in vain
suicidal insane

whale tails of jade
sink down between your breasts
caressing the magic
you have decided to test
being your friend
I am both cursed and blessed
heart broken or joyful
my love is your gift
to lay in your splendor
and struggle with this

I can't try to kill
what your heart truly feels
the danger of steps
through dreams ever near
my words tempt to touch
the girl who I see
delusions of you
and where we might be
as one final poem
falls softly from me
