The light hit you

Incapable of giving a description.

The day has come for dying,

On a detour, not blind.

I can't even see

Mind bending,

into what?

Maybe I need 

some mending

Offer no resistance

Human filler

What am I

bringing myself? 

Just standing there,

a gaping something...

and people take

millions of years,

asking how,

millions of years...

The only thing in nature

that does not give,

Black widow. 

She has never

met her groom,

humanity's heirloom.

Standing there, something gaping,

indecipherable,

containing millions of years

Bestow me with

obscene dimensions,

overflowing legends.

Your eyes beckoning

to everything 

Finally, she realized,

she was a beacon

for humanity

"Are there families because of death?

Is there death because of families?"

Drowning all this time, 

was really floating

bloating with

anonymous desires

"Navigating from the inside-out

only for those who

in love are devout"

Ripe with death, 

divine mess

In your desert

I can find wilderness

I won't name you,

just open the flood-gates

let me eat the stars

that dance behind your eyes

Turn off,

mosquito woman

fingers of crimson

wilting a rose

before my eyes

"The way the light hit you

that day,

I knew you would go on forever"

One day, one day

that will be 

the last day, and

the first

of forever

I forgot it was dark,

now it's time to depart

i find particularly interesting the use of the spider, the insect in describing the one look for love...made me think of the praying mantis who kills her lover...but then there are offspring....we are the result of love that ceases life while at the same time inducing it...
after the loving...it is time to leave...otherwise we leave our heart vulnerable to being broken.

i love the word play and the way you used rhyme, which i ordinarily don't care for...but wow...sublime rhyme, the bending, the mending...the poet has such rhythmic fingers.

Thanks, I really appreciate it Jacob.
