Gravity

Give in to gravity's embrace
Crash and explode on his impact
Let him swallow you in his arms
Believe in his promise to catch you
Dont desire wings when you discover that he welcomes you better than any lover has ever tried to.
Fall beneath his purpose and meet him there, waiting.
Don't steel yourself, keep your eyes open so you won't miss a thing.
Dont regret him as a final resort.
Dont regret thinking about him knowing his very danger.
He is like a longed for lover who knows just what he wants and has it for the taking.
Think back to the time he threw you to the sea, in nothing but your shorts and an irresistible feeling of satisfaction that's since long gone, remember how the waves held you on their tail and played with your being with their gentle violence.
This is he once more, he will comply to your desperate and irrational need.
He will lay a bed of roses for your beautiful landing and soak in your blood and bits so no one else will have a piece of you after giving yourself without return.

Death As a Concept

When death comes, may we come back to collect each of our bones,

gently lay them together and set them alight during an

intimate ceremony only witnessed by each of

of our former selves.

Unshrouded and bare-faced.

And as they burn, may we remember to wail without cease

and with great release so that each of whom of ourselves

we once disposed to make room for others may stand up

and forgive us.

May the dancing flames exude a warmth of great comfort such that

there is not a lived moment we would wish to live differently.

May the crackling sound of the burning bones inspire a song of triumph

for making end days that spared us the shame of looking back at an adversity of a life.

May we find our way back to this much dreaded valley,

crawling with dry bare, bones that bewilder us every time we care to pay a visit.

As they burn and blow as infinite ashes

that will glow and keep the universe alight may we resurrect

as black roses on whatever soils we land on

and hopefully, find a peace we never experienced as bodily beings.
