LEVITATE

R.M. ENGELHARDT

Levitate R.M. Engelhardt

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.

The Future

The Future

The future: time’s excuse

to frighten us; too vast

a project, too large a morsel

for the heart’s mouth.

Future, who won’t wait for you?

Everyone is going there.

It suffices you to deepen

the absence that we are.

 

~ Rainer Maria Rilke
