Eternal Requiem
For the last hopes,
for the lost promises,
for the times you found a lie,
for when you wished for truth,
for insisting on a dream,
for knowing it to be false,
I will salute you.
In the empty chambers of a heart,
in the caverns of your soul,
in the moments you never found,
in the hollowed sounds in your skull,
in the middle of someone else’s battle,
in the clearing in the downpour,
I will condemn you.
From the dark corners of our biosphere,
from the furthest reaches of your mind,
from the hidden spaces between your intentions,
from your idea of universal design,
from the dots of far-away stars,
from ache of honesty,
I will save you.
I will salute you,
I will condemn you,
I will save you,
but mostly, I will contain you
in this idea of perfect love.
And inside of everything we know,
we will build a monument to an ideal,
keep it safe and sound,
for it is within my body that
I will keep you.
forever
