I wish you tonight <br />into a thousand and one pieces- <br />and I wish my hands weren't so alone, resting on <br />the nakedness of your pillow <br /> <br /> <br />I wish the moon could warm the night- <br />Autumn wears a shawl of wind <br /> <br />The silence lives: the epitome of invisibility- <br />but there are stars that watched <br />our hearts and words tangle 'round <br />the universal tongue, <br />into a strange language- <br />half ambiguous, half frail <br />as though our communication were <br />an uncoordinated sign language- <br />spoken with an invisible octave <br />and heavy accent, so thick that <br />even when I traveled <br />the lonesome roads of your exterior <br />seeking passage into the wreckage <br />of your internal city- <br />I was a foreigner <br />in a land which had no interpretation <br /> <br />There is a common bond between <br />sulfuric rocks and stellar gods- <br />they all exist in <br />the universe nostalgia navigates- <br />The secret, a whisper <br />which crept from the all seeing eye, <br />a final, frantic ember of sky <br /> <br />Tonight, I wish you into a thousand and one peaces <br />and turn for divine intervention, <br />to my own arms<br /><br />Amberlee Carter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-also-known-as-lilith/
