Supernova (Part Five): My Missing Affections

Brush back your tail,
Oh love of the ages!
Stay for my company,
Darling of scarlet.
Sniff at affection
And turn up your nose.
Visit me soon
Where a young tree blooms.

Dance on my fingertips
Butter winged angel!
Fly from your flower throne
Bright Elven King.
Kiss on my ring finger;
Tickle me quietly.
Our guest now is tiring.
Go feast in your halls.

Your hand on my cheek
Bright Father of mine.
A kiss on my shoulder
Dear Mother of Day.
I lay in your bed,
And sleep at the foot.
In blankets of love;
A pillow of warmth.

Come back to me
Darling!
Now feast with me
King!
Please carry me
Father!
Don't leave me
Oh Mother!

I sleep in the wilderness;
Eat with the rats.
Clothe in disparity
With shoes stitched of pain.

I drink from a poison stream
And fight an old fox.
Crush all the butterflies
With stomp after stomp.

Now hastens a new friend
With bright silver eyes
And cunning affections
But cold, dead arms.

He whispers he's known me,
I feel like I've seen him,
But I never have greeted his face.

Supernova (Part Four) : Luna Stops Her Lullaby

Starless night, it holds no rest
Although the silence calmly sits
On all the world, in every corner
Where neither mouse nor beetle crawls
And Luna stops her lullaby

Painful day, he greets me now
Sickness within, hunger throughout
The kingdom came though none were pure
He laughs and jabs into my side
His crimson teeth now shining

Silent lover, long she sleeps
Keeping dreams inside her peace
While my heart grows black and hardened
And my blood grows thick and slow
How I long to join her now

Plump old Death, though crass and fattened
Moves on wings around the waste
Faster now than pagan deities
More common every passing morning
He skips no strangers feast

Dying World, that once was sweet
She kissed my cheek and made me smile
But now a cosmic killer has his hands around her throat
As she begins to choke all her children slowly fall
And our mother dies alone.
