To the Man Who Seems to have Everything

How are you lonely when the shadows of the women you have been with dance around your room at night?

They watch you like ghosts,

delight you to no avail,

though you crave them like an addict.

How are you so lonely when you have experienced so many worlds between each of their thighs, including mine?

Maybe it is the fear of falling into obscurity in harmony with sinful perspiration.

Or feeling impermanence with a climax.

My adoration for you surpasses reason.

Your endeavours engulf your flaws,

making your success one day absolute.

Till then I fall in rhythm with your words.

I pray to not trip over your misstep of arrogance,

while you dance with my insecurities.

We move in sync with my calls to God.

Beautiful

yet

Blasphemous.
