My Eyes Have Been Veiled By Stars

The unholy vastness of my love. The relentless mercy of my heart. Forgive me.

[aubadeofapollo]

Do you know how long it’s been

since I’ve written a piece of prose about a boy?

Do you know what it is that you do to me.

Of course not, you’re too damaged to see.

I can’t help but wonder - but long to know - what it would feel like; a kiss from you.

Your words are sharp and your tone bright.

But I bet your tongue would go down smooth; smooth as your liquor’d namesake.

I’ve seen the boy behind the mask. I know that heart is hurt and sensitive.

Let me heal you. Let me love you.

[aubadeofapollo]

My thoughts storm like the particles of dust in the sunlight.

And they are just as significant.

When will my mind clear of this blizzard so that i may once again see?

[aubadeofapollo]

Good Night

Until I am with you -

sleeping in our same bed -

I will never want to say

[aubadeofapollo]

Red

And even when our emotions run rampant,

taking us to places we don’t wish to remember,

still we scrape the excess from our eyes -

even if only a moment - we see one another.

We breathe.

We calm.

Anger cracks and falls to the floor,

fertilizing the blooms that pave the way

back to ourselves.

And we find one another once more

reminded of our growing - and still yet young -

Love.

[aubadeofapollo]

Cleanse

And you my darling

are my perfect night storm.

Calm amidst chaos;

Solace of catharsis.

You cleanse me

and show me the way.

You frighten me

but strengthen my resolve.

I would not be where I am today

if I did not have you.

I would not be the same.

All I have is my love,

and I hope that is enough of a thank you.

[aubadeofapollo]

And even though

I ask for nothing;

Still you give me

everything I need.

[aubadeofapollo]

Every other before has only told me

what I want to hear.

But you,

you tell me what I need to hear.

And that is how I know

you love me.

[aubadeofapollo]

I love you.

Longer than the sun has burned,

and stronger still.

More than the empty space between every celestial body,

but even still, more vast.

My warmth will swallow us,

and we shall be eternal in the sky.

[aubadeofapollo]

And though the Sun sets

as quickly it may rise,

our dawn has only just broken.

And yes, my darling,

our day shall be long, warm, and sweet.

[aubadeofapollo]

And in my heart, I know

it is you.

For my tears well up,

just as the pain in my heart;

The longing to change.

For the better.

For myself.

For love.

[aubadeofapollo]

I am full to bursting.

And yet I want more

without tiring of you.

[aubadeofapollo]

Though apart, we still gaze into the night

and find beauty in all things.

And the stars shine down on us their blessings.

But when together,

oh how they will shiver -

For we will burn ever brighter.

[aubadeofapollo]

And oh how I have kissed your lips

a thousand times before now.

And a thousand times more, after.

Just as I see the past,

I remember the future.

Your face is always there.

And oh how I have missed you.

[aubadeofapollo]

It isn’t your fault, my love.

It isn’t my own.

But to save ourselves a pain,

we must learn to say goodbye much sooner.

So that tomorrow may come quickly,

and we may say hello once more.

[aubadeofapollo]

We were broken.

We were lost.

But then we found each other,

and became lost together.

But I am never lost with you, for you

are where my truth lies.

And how our capacity for love grows.

[aubadeofapollo]

I must learn not to speak

when the Moon whispers her sorrows in my ear.

[aubadeofapollo]

I love the taste of your name in my mouth.
