Phantom (VioletEden)

Phantom

I have seen you

treading slowly

like you were afraid

you would hurt

the ground beneath

your feet;

I have seen you

touch the walls

to know the texture

so soft:

like they would break

under the featherlight touch

of your fingers

I have seen you drinking up

murals with your eyes

hoping to retrace them

once you got back:

as if they would never know

your admiration for them

like they were lifeless;

You fail to know, my love,

that the murals admire you

with the life, they see

jerking in you

with each step you take

each touch you are cost

and each spell you cast;

you are no inconsequential being in the vastness of the universe.

you are a universe in its own; thousands of galaxies,

no one can decipher-

clashing within you

chilling our bones

because of the otherworldliness

only you seem to give off.
