Arid Ambition
I dreamt of you
last night
you were ancient
in your arid ambitions
still
I loved you
mercury temples
worshipping lines
mirage homelands
have you
lived that long
but never learned
to meditate
to pray without fear
so tooth'ed
digits like daggers
armed wives' tales
telling happenings
shifted into
what have I done
look what you made me do
your terrorized
ancestral memories
will claim
youth sacrifice
blood lines
sublimate in tephra
droned distance
does not make
it humane
vaselined fabrication
petroleum nightmares
greased tropes
that were never
but worse than
that
not quite like that
weep brackish rivers
as you perpetuate
atrocity and fugue
worse than
that
I grieve you
for making me do
this to your lambs
look at my tears
that track through
bloodlines
wait, that's me
that's my child
that's your child
you have grown
in limb
ferocious in vengeance
atrocious in fear
but still
I love you
I grieve
for your savage
youth that demands
blood sacrifice
for arid
ambitions
still
I love
you

I love the poem and it’s making it look like you loved someone too much and you’re going crazy for the person
That’s what I feel though
Good job!
Crazy for people in generaly, I fear. But thank you:)
Wow, that's a great poem, lots of emotion. You're pretty good! As always beautiful flowers, you always have the nicest pictures!

For some reason, this unctuous verse has hit me hard - a half-truth is worse than a lie.
