Iohannes Silvaticus Poems

I want you
To feel

The power of my sword unsheathed -
...

I gaze into the pearls of your eyes,
Round as the earth
But shining the light of
Stars, galaxies, distant worlds.
...

A year from now we will not remember
What has conspired over the last year.
You will be a memory,
I will be just faded letters.
...

We were soldiers once,
With dynamite as teeth
And limbs.
The food pyramid was
...

Can you see me?
In the dark, naked,
Like how my love sees you
Undressed to the very bones
...

I lay chided by the wind,
Waiting for your hold.
The stars of your eyes are distant,
Tonight their light is cold.
...

If every word was like a feather,
Then like feathers pile together
To comfort your great fall,
A thousand words I’d write tonight;
...

And we see a fork in the road,
Our names on separate signs.
Maybe down this broken path
Happiness we shall find.
...

I already know you don't love me,
My Love.
But,
Your taste,
...

I would not mind being a stone,
A plain old stone for being thrown
Into cool pools by naughty children.
To see their faces laugh as the ripples
...
