"If I could be anything, i’d be the dying star you whisper wishes to before bed".. by Theodore James

If I could be anything, i’d be the dying star you whisper wishes to before bed

in my wildest fantasies i am your divinity

akin to akemi i warp the world for your safety

christ calls this is my blood

i scream here is my heart!

wrapped in cellophane to preserve, i only ask

you peel that plastic and consume all

piece by piece

until we are one

ode to my former eyebrow piercing

to the divine hole

the pristine pit of my countenance,

you are comely and alluring

to the lightning bug underneath my skin

the sorcerer’s sword which embodies self-expression

you are masculinity incarnate

a childhood dream meets an adulthood reality

we transcend expectations in ways such as this
