ｉｋｉｇａｉ

６ | ｋａｌｏｐｓｉａ

Your eyes ripple within the light of the fireflies, like a puddle whose water is disturbed by jewels made of molten silver and a crown made from puzzle pieces that do not fit.

You are luminous like stars on land and glowing jellyfish in the murky evening sky.

I wish I was the napalm cigarettes that caress your lips.

I wish I was the nerves in your brain and the veins that resemble paint that colours your body with blue and purple acrylic watercolors.

You are more beautiful than the rings of Saturn

and the milk chocolate swirls of the Milky Way.

Even if you only use me to your liking,

I am blinded by your grace.

You make me feel as though I am floating in a canoe made of white linen

and sketching the map of the universe in the purple encrusted stars that

swim around my fingertips and nibble on the pinkies on my feet.

Even if you only take out all your anger on me, like I am some useless doll,

I am still enchanted by the way you talk and walk.

Even if all the stars were to fall tomorrow,

even if the moon decided to disappear and we get flooded,

even if the sun exploded and destroyed our planet,

even if you stabbed me with your words and

hurt me with your goodbyes,

I am still going to fall madly in love with the glitter facade that clouds my vision

because I am fearful of whom you would be without it.
