Gnosscius<\/u><\/p>\n
You and I were lovers before the freeze,<\/p>\n
and the making of it occupied our fears.<\/p>\n
You needed my therapy,<\/p>\n
I wanted you to need.<\/p>\n
I didn’t know beyond the jasmine,<\/p>\n
where the monkeys dwelled and lizards flew,<\/p>\n
far past the grottos and the caves that held the artifacts of our emotions,<\/p>\n
there would be a war zone.<\/p>\n
I would come to know,<\/p>\n
that blue eyes could flash burn to ash,<\/p>\n
in the smoking grey seconds of remembering the past,<\/p>\n
beyond the lush, green tropics,<\/p>\n
in the sweltering heat,<\/p>\n
along primevial forests and pristine beaches,<\/p>\n
where transparent ocean waters turn blood red,<\/p>\n
and you could never stand down.<\/p>\n

\nwedding gowns and box cars clash
\nlike alchemy and love<\/p>\n
\nclutch the white port tighter
\nrefuse to share the medicine<\/p>\n
\nyou chased the lazy bums<\/em> away
\ninsisted we honor institutions with lies if necessary<\/p>\n
