Not a Childlike Empress (2019)

A flame, dancing rightly.

A flame by any other prettier name.

A flame to burn me to hell and back, and light my path to the etereal circles above.

Not the planets though for we now know better.


A song to be sung by the lips of someone else

Written by you of course...

Adequated definitely by me.


A smile to tear the world apart

And ironically heal at the same time.


The Hope given unto others

That I cannot give to myself.


A woman with a hundred names

A Moonchild of course among them

And yet just two in the end.

Names enough to pray a minor goddess into us.


I know I know

You won’t protect, you won’t remain

You’ll haunt as I let you do just that

To haunt, to stare, to exist.


Like a Goddess you’re around

Because I choose you to

I conjure existence unto you.


Chasing ghosts is my stuff.

The ghost of you just happens to have an avatar of a different, truer, less divine, more attractive even self.


I know and keep the prayers going all the same.

Keep the spell with my words and no longer the mirage of you anyway.
