just made a thread for this, didn't realize there was a poetry thread. please critique!

my inspiration:

“eros amo odissem”

“I won’t deny that I wished to—and tried to—endure it, but Love overcame me.”

Poem:

Eros in Repose


You,
my ghost-green bride,
my summer and my rain,
hold me tight in the lilac of your choice,
let me reign over the republic of your soul—
an elected steward of uncounted days.

What brief breath stands
between you and your rumination,
let it stand with clove-filled palms
ready to squeeze.
Today was doomed—I understand;
we are the disciples of a circular god.
But we kindle the remains
and purge the rosewood:
profit this sinner a final glance,
and tease once more our wintered home.

You
are the distance that fades my horizon,
the star-hinged hue of Lillith’s love:
rest your waning century upon my shores,
and leave only when I fail to sleep.
What cleaves more than an architect of the periphery?
Something gives, but does not last—
a rook-filled nightfall of lyres past.

O,
shade from my forgotten black,
red-raven dawn that spills my oblivion,
let me see you as you are:
the folly of my misspelled want.

seriously, i hope you die. the very fact that i am reminded again and again by your shit posts that we live on the same world, that you draw precious resources away from interesting and genuine people--holy fuck it just boggles my mind

if the universe shat out a perfect antithesis to intelligence, that shit would mate with satan and spawn your fat, pus-filled ass
