Blood Transfusion

he has entered my veins
i cannot escape this
fermented cure
i ponder if it’s medicine
masking away my illness
or a supplement so immensely
powerful, my whole insides
can be cured within the
moment our veins connect
mixing the ruby red blood
into a priceless serum
the world would die,
kill for
i cannot escape this fermented cure
yet a being so minuscule
so powerful, maliciously lies in
the pit of the shadows
in-between equilibrium
screaming for me to run
and leave so I can revert back
to my repressed past,
to my caliginous
relationship with the inner turmoil
of venomous revenge and toxic destruction
shit, our veins touched again
and the formidable voice escapes me
he travels through my bloodstream
and tears fall with palpable agony
sugar coated with powder so they
could be mistaken for artificial
lemonade
yet he licks them with his
opaque azure eyes
and he knows those tears
are releasing menacing demons
that relentlessly try to fight a
way inside this lucid dream
and my body, astro-planes
ascending far above myself
watching him lick away all
that once distressed
my cluttered, chaotic brain
the blood seeps tenderly through his ears
into my unwinding belly button and our bodies
mesh until it is unclear
whether I am him, or he is,
me
we sit there, unfazeable calm,
wondering when and if we
will slip and vanish
from each other's ethereal grasp,
yet neither let go,
so we watch time move
faster than light
and ponder whether we
are the light that controls
all that is moving and living
or are we the darkness
that suffocates the light
desolating and consuming
all that is known about
the essence of time
one last blood transfusion
and we, at last,
become eternally even
and time
finally quiets
or did it
dissolve
unevenly?
