Master of puppets

 I am a broken toy without your string

Still dancing without you

Alive but fading each second without you

Master of puppets

You asked me to leverage my best

Let go of my past

Burn like a candle

Eat dark and spread light

Burn little by little

Scald little by little

Die but live

like a cricket’s quiet courting song

Knowing the love is near yet long

Voice weak yet strong

Be the carriage of borrowed glow
Like a moon 
Round still edgy

Dark still beaming
With a belief in goodness

On the edge of precipice

Wanting to fly on fall

But your words keep me grounded

My promise keeps me alive

Away from you,

To be with you,

With my words for you

Master of puppets

I wonder like calypso in Odyssey

Waiting for you to be immortal

Knowing that this is just a bubble

That you are gone

Leaving me alone

Asking me to wait

For the dawn

Master of puppets

Your dreams pepper and infuse
fancy in reality
bite after bite

Of your love
thrust after thrust

Of your lust
cryptic and real

Raged and surreal

Your memories

Your touch

Master of puppets

I rise like soufflé 
rapidly falling in a fizz
drumbeats of your kiss
still banging in an abyss
You climb up in each moments
Moments that are broken

Moments those are empty

Moments that are bare

Because you are not there

But I am there keeping your words

Being alive
