Klethon Gomes, My Heart Exhumes Thee

My Heart Exhumes Thee

Klethon Gomes

Every day, my heart exhumes thee From soils of a neverland I’ve never touched or kissed As vast as the graveyard is your love for me

Transvaal daisies, a tomb, your corpse; I could not see Across the Atlantic Ocean, endeavoring death’s mist Every day, my heart exhumes thee

Had I only heard the cry of the banshee Your petrichor laugh would not be missed As vast as the graveyard is your love for me

Sometimes I dream of drowning in the Black Sea If I stop breathing as you did, would we coexist? Every day, my heart exhumes thee

Shattering my alabaster heart into a flame tree, The everlasting torment of my soul persists As vast as the graveyard is your love for me

Your whispers in my heart will never set me free I won’t ever let you ascend; I am an egoist Every day, my heart exhumes thee As vast as the graveyard is your love for me
