Forever Mine

Original DDE™ digital surreal art: “Love Is Blind” by: rob kistner © 10/29/24

Do you think
you’re not still my slave
since digging yourself from that earthen grave

since you sullied your delicate hands
clawing up and out of my bottom lands

do you think you’re safe

think perhaps that I don’t know
where you are as you come and go

do you think that I don’t feel you
with my every breath
that I don’t breathe you

really – don’t you

do you think at all
my love

anytime I want you
you are mine

anytime…

…well now
look who’s finally awake
quite a long nap you chose to take

…what love, where are you?

…surprise…
you are here where you belong
with me — my love

you like your leathers
I hope you do
I picked them out love
just for you

you know I love you
you love me too
we have a love uncommon
you know we do

don’t you

you are mine
it’s true

forever

your every move is known to me
your every thought is mine to see

every fear
mine to trigger
and every fear is growing bigger

I am the ghost
haunting your lair
I am your uttermost secret terror

you will not know
whence I may come
I am the shadow you are running from

the stranger hidden across the street
the sudden sound that startles you
from deep in sleep

so cling mindlessly to your false hope
as ‘round your slender neck
I slip my rope

…my love — I’m so, so sorry…

you think I’m mad
well that may be
but that’s too bad

for you
not me

you pray they catch me
we’ll see
won’t we

your nightmare is I’ll not be caught
your dream’s come true
for I will naught

you hope I make a big mistake
dare a close call
risk my downfall

you sense your time is short
the hour is late
you feel the weight
the grip of fate

you think you might escape
get away
run free

…my love — I’m so, so sorry…
but that will never be
there is no such risk for me

for I am brilliant
wicked cunning
you’ve felt my power
is it not stunning

does my magnificence make you afraid
knowing ‘cross your neck
I may slide my blade

as I’m creeping quiet from behind
to steal your life
as I am so inclined

as terror shivers
up and down your spine
remember always

you — are — mine

forever mine
til the day you die
and this is that day

so — m’love…

…goodbye
