Down on/upon the earth
Beneath the skies
“Dream-Land”
Where all the dreamers/poets dream
Gravitate, towards the great &
Immortality.
But
I don’t want
Any of
Those
Things.
Because
All I want is
You to
Levitate me.
And
Save me,
From the pain.
Initiate me
Revive me
Re~
Spark the night
Of fallen stars,
Night of hearts
Night of nights.
Send in all the angels
And all their white lights,
Send in all the lovers
And their crowns of thorns
And lies.
Cause I don’t need a
New religion
Or a guru to reach
The throne or goal
Of life.
No.
Cause
I just need you
To levitate me
And talk softly to me
And love me all
My life
And say,
Repeat
All the ancient words
And incantations
That matter.
Cause
I don’t need
Immortality.
All I need
Is you.
