Three Ways to Love You

Three Ways to Love You

I.

I will eat away your guilt

I will swallow all your lies

I will fortify your house of cards

I will help you justify

Help you live inside this madness

Help you swim aside these sharks

I will love you

I will love you

I will love you 

                in the dark

II.

I will lick the poison from your brow

Swallow it back with relish from your eyes

Crack my melon head ripe open

For your tongue to flick the dark seeded

Carcinomas of fractured logic and rotting thought

In a frenzied dance of mangled limbs

We will bleach each other

Shiny and new

III.

We will lie exhausted on the burning sand

Awash of our guilt

Unwilling to stand

Wearing cagey prison smiles

Knees to Knees 

Eyes to Eyes

Heart to Heart

A newly born Siamese star

Some galaxy beyond

A sentient year behind us

Fragile this fleshy bond, yet

I have loved you

I have loved you

I have loved you

                    from the start
