i’m not obsessed
i’m simply enthralled
bowled over and heart akimbo
a life in limbo
forever and a moment at once
that night i lifted you
like moonlight into my life
and i’ve spent years
bathing in that blueness
naked and scared to flinch or move
for fear it would expire
i’m not depressed
i’m just tired
tired from loving you
that’s all to say
you pushed me into the ground
embossed by your love
into the hallowed mud
of history
bound into a
stony forever
a mark upon the soul
or a flitting light
bursting into the heavens
crushed into stardust
a brief burst of flame
in an endless night
the rapture of your entirety
now living in my blood
and oil
a root into my soil
i will hold you
longer
than the
earth
held the
dinosaurs
