Apparition Eyes

Apparition Eyes

A Poem by C Peril

My girl has apparition eyes, two crystal balls,
says she speaks to the ghouls in the rivers
and seas; sets 'em free for the realm of hope
and mercy, on their perilous journey from 
mortal to evermore 

At night she drapes herself over the bed, 
spread like the hangman's cloak I am 
invited to imbibe the Elixir of her eternity
Breath of wine, tongue of passion 
and the intoxicating entrapment of able
hands which journey like knowing angels 

The ascent of my shaking Spirit into Heaven's 
bliss-numb grandeur As though nothing 
could ever hurt again As though the moment
could only be pure Walking along the summits
of imperious mountains, jaws of God
Mastication into the incineration of a contented 
nothingness

When I find myself back in the realm of her flesh,
back on the flatness of her chest... there
with her tattoos and her chains and her incense 
and those cats (her familiars), she cradles my
unworthiness Even in the quiet - 

She is magnificent

She sees what others can see and from whence she moves like no one else can. You are blessed in her.
