The Perfectly Imperfect Dove that Departed
Sometimes, I think
Vivid thoughts in visceral ink
Of an entity, a celestial being
Sometimes, I think about [REDACTED]
What a woman she was
Her beauty was that of a dove’s
Acne and her long nose graced the Earth
Graced my world for what it was worth
But her beauty made just a quarter of a heart’s rush
Most of my love came from the talks and their fun
Hints of lust brewed between this dove and me
Hints as an emphasis, for her pond blocked my feet
This Kurdish bird swam in a vast pond of vast rules
For it reflected a crescent, a star, a divine school
Reverence to its creator was relevant for hearts to merge
But I submerged in a pond where a cross lurked
Dreams of pond overflow overflowed my mind
Dreams for this dove to leave her waters and enter into mine
Hope was a hiccup I couldn’t hone anymore
When she grew a pair of wings and distantly soared
In my heart lie fractures and terrible scars
She sang perfection’s tune with a beautiful remark
Sometimes, I wallow in sorrowful screams
Sometimes, I think about all of these things
Sometimes
