Love Poem: Nothing of the Kind

Nothing of the Kind

I may wear planets as if they are pearls
But I am not your Messiah.

I may eat fire
But I am not a Dragon.

My underwear drawer is not lined with seraph's feathers.
My eyes don't hide galaxies like you think they do.

Don't look at me like I can walk on water.
Don't bow before me as if I'm holy.

Believe me when I tell you
I am nothing of the kind.
