Forgiving the Planets

Nothing much to say here =p sorry

I think I lost my touch?
My ever weaving pulses of moonlight
That I feel on the exasperated tips of my existence
In my sunken eyes dulled from lack of sleep
I’ve never had a melancholy nostalgia for the past so much as I have
These days

What happens to a caged bird?
Does the canary forget its voice
Does the raven its wings
Is the owl no longer wise?

On ever winding roads of subconscious
                              Melody’s my caged bird used to sing

Baby doll am I lonely?
I hate those words on the tip of my tongue
Your voice an echoed whisper in my ears
And the moisture and warmth of your body
                                   (right next to mine)
Even though we are lovers
Scandalous on crimson waves of mercury
Living alone on Venus
Where my lover pressed his hands to my face
On empty stretches of skyways

Finally I can forgive you
For the emptiness you engraved in my planetary confinement
An entire universe away from my level headed Jupiter lover
Catching me off guard
                  On my birds eye view

Don’t even try to tell me
Men are from Mars
Trying to enclose
My vacant eyes

Promising my song birds to the
Hollow spaces between my fingers
And the birdcage around my Neptune

I’ll be the folly of the angels
Protecting the pearly gates of
                              Pluto
