Love: A Song of Possession by *batousaijin:iconbatousaijin:





"Fashion is what one wears, oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear. Other People are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself. To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance." --Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband

Sky's Ode to Sky
Who's that handsome devil in the mirror, there?
Like, you know, whatever.
I'm way too deep for you, ugly poor person.
*strums guitar*
Nobody gets in HERE, man.
*points finger to head*

I'll let you look upon my hot countenance
If you do my homework, wash my laundry,
Scrub my back, and sing my praises
Forever.

I, the Lord your Sky,
Am a jealous god, and
One that's easy on the eyes.
Worship me with fanatical devotion and
Leave behind any and all thoughts of
Having a life, a love, thoughts of
Your own.

Sky's Devotee Responds
"And I will be the one . . . "
Fare thee well, my own,
My Sky.
You've lost your home inside my self.
I'm not moving on; I had no choice.
I found your self in another's voice.

From cookie slave to demon lord,
Comrade, secret lover, and friend,
When I became a woman,
Childish things found their end.

"To hold you down, kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away."
I'm very so sorry, I've found a new muse.
I'll introduce you to him;
He's just like you . . . IS you,
And always was.

"Every breath you take, I'll be watching you."
I breathe life from you, borrowed,
And swooning dizziness
Karate-chops me in the trachea.
One more, and then another last kiss,
These thermo-caloric explosiae,
Pyrokinetic possession,
Grinds its way into my animus,
Wild as minks in heat, trapping-season.

Sky's Rebuttal
"Goodbye, my lover."
I'm your Winnie the Pooh, and Tigger too.
I'm your pigtails, tea parties,
And dress-up dolls.  You
May look back one day
And loftily sigh,
To show regret for losing your Sky.

Author's Comments

:icondhqx: requested a poem from me, some time ago, that was along the lines of being "Sky's Ode to Sky," based on her character and imaginary boyfriend, Sky. Here's the link to her artwork that I used as a preview [link] (go comment and fave there 'cause it's brilliant!). While I was thus contemplating how to poeticize a narcissist, ~dhqx suddenly found a boyfriend [link] (isn't he dreamy?). All of a sudden, it didn't seem appropriate to glorify her imaginary boyfriend; so I turned it into a farewell to Sky, now that his services are no longer required. The line "nobody gets in HERE, man" is from Seth McFarlane's introduction to Family Guy number 3, found here on youtube [link] . The lines in quotes are from various songs that you might or might not recognize. I subtitled it "Song of Possession" because I figured that's how Sky thinks of the billions of girls who worship him, possessions, also because when I was writing ~dhqx suddenly burst her point of view onto the paper. Needless to say, it was an unusual experience.

I think my favorite stanza's are the last in "Sky's Ode to Sky", the first in "Sky's Devotee" and the last portion "Sky's Rebuttal" For me, the first two just scream what each of those portions is about, and the last wraps it all up perfectly.

does it capture your feelings toward sky now that you have a real boyfriend? i think that was the main message... like i said in the author's comments, your personality just imposed itself on the page.
