Like Storms on Venus (Original)

in #story7 years ago (edited)


For everything that you would need to know

you need only think

of all the world that you're longing to see

and need only look


For all the love that you're wishing to spread

you need only feel

for what lies lie hiding between the lines

and need only eyes.


The guilt then, to love, when love leads to loss

or loathing or lust

and the fixed stars of our intellect crash

against granite hearts


The years have eroded our sense of self

like storms on Venus,

so that in our actions and inactions

we chronicle life

mixed inside the collective unconscious,

known to each other.

The love then, in guilt, when guilt leads to love

or loathing or lust.

The stars then, in us, in our circling,

we need only spin.
