Show me your hand
And I will give you reason to bleed
Since my love is violence
Held by the stalk of a leaf
Lips stitched
Voice mute and story mundane
I fear that the soil will erode
If clouds pour so much rain
Did I betray my land
When I uttered the reality behind the veil?
A white silk draped on the waist
The answer of a moth's death
What I fear more
Is that I will gladly worship a myth
Save a sinner and call it sin
But what happens when I go off on my knees?
So they become gods
And I am agnostic?
Despite the abundance of stained glasses
If I peep through the keyholes and still see
Your hands bending towards the violets
You will be still a sinner
And what would I be then?
To define is to limit and I have no lines
I fear I would fill my aveoli to be with you
I would turn to a fish swimming around
But what if you start loving the land?
Then who would again turn my fins to limbs
And gills to lungs
Because I made you the lord
And the one in the heavens is absurd
I also fear that historians will call this romanticism
And not love because surely this is roteness
Of how I would flip the sky to the stars
And the heavens to the hells
If you want a quiet woman, but she will be dead
I will twist this knife of your name in mane
Is this what is so dear to me
Fond of purple streaks
While I sit here vowing
On every oath oozing from your soul?
Since I badmouth the deity so bad
that now they have stopped looking at me
But the one whom I made my almighty
rolls their eyes on me
So now where I have to place my odes
To get back what has slipped through
I tried to become a saviour of a sinner
And failed there too
I should have listened to your holiness
But I was deaf leading a blind in the dark
Now again I am lost
Forgone and into the voids
Please decontaminate my lymph
I am seeking repentance, salvation
But you and I both know
If I see my lover in the shadows
I would tear down all the towering fences I have built
