Seductress

I was fine in my bubble

just some Moses in my own parting

and yes, you ruined my thoughts

and spun me in antonyms

 

I always wondered

why I prayed for apocalypse before sleep

and waking up, still whatever,

whatever, was always

outside

 

whispering planets secretly in my ear

you left me jungles and deserts,

you handed me worlds I never knew

what to do with

and all the time tempting me

to join with you

naked
