Literature Text

I've spent years clawing at stars
Made of the most beautiful diamonds
Praying to touch
A God.

-

I swam in liquid onyx,
With a kaleidoscope body -
Bar identity.

-

I pray for serenity,
The selfless sense of peace,
Like the scent of red roses
Caught on a warm, summer wind.

Knee high strands of lime-green grass,
Smother the starflowers.
They hold hands
And flirt
With the iris blue sky.

I revel in the beauty
Of kissing a sun,
The pink of my lips
Trail
Shimmering stars.

I stitch my words to paper,
With bloodshot thread
Choking down
The blackest of ink.

A discovery of unspoken words
That drip  
Of deep, amber
Love.

-

And so,

I sculpt perfection
Onto the face of a marble moon.
Moving my fingers across
Glittering curves,
And through soft,
Cherry blossom hair.

-

I've spent months finding comfort
In the gaze of glimmering starflowers,
Their obsidian stems
And polished crystal leaves.
Again, same shizbizz

"I spent a while today writing a poem that I now feel is too long and contains too much. So I'm going to split each stanza into its own poem.

This is stanza 1. This is not a finished a product, I'm just putting this up and I will add to it repeatedly =)"

Edit: It's taking shape.. Slowly.

Edit 2: so, I've added more from the other sections. I also had an odd dream/spiritual experience last night. Which I'm going to try and explore with the second stanza. This is in no way complete. I guess this'll be a long one.. I've also separated the sections, each will be further developed.

Edit 3: Each section represents a different idea. Some represent sequences and happenings in my head. I added parts of "Serene," "Starflowers," and "Moonshine" into this poem, the images conjured up in it were perfect for what I'm trying to represent in this piece of work. *Sigh* Still nowhere near finished, it seems like the story wants to get longer the more I add to it.
