I own this land and all it is
I drink its
golden sun
Ancient wombs and sunlit tombs
I know
you were the one
Fineries like none I’ve seen
And still I search for
doors
A
portal with a gleam of gold
For all my world is yours
My moon of
silent silver glow
Replaces my cold
sun
I take it in and never choke:
I know you were the
one.
I write in
scarlet, paint in blue
I
harvest stones in scores
I throw them all to catch a breeze
For
all this world is yours.
Bathing in my
fire,
Kneeling at my throne
All your rubies, all your
diamonds
But a love that’s mine
alone.
(I wrote this when I was 14)
