Roses Crave Your Blood

By Rakshdeep Sharma

When I will die.
My grave will melt.

I will be cold. I will like some rain.
It will be dark when I lay there. But rain better be greyer.

It will drink me. The mother.
My mother will drink my blood.
I would like to be cradled. I will be back in the womb.

Birds will beak me and I will be passed onto your face I am the white shit. Smile.

The girl. I died. My heart died for will be with some weakling on that bed I pulled sheets on.
Don’t crush the roses I kept for me. Burn them like you burned my heart.

But it’s no sacrilege.
The bodies are melting into each other.
I can see from my grave.

Don’t come to my grave.
My corpse needed you the night I wept for you.
Don’t disturb my silence. Let me sleep now.
Send quiet smokers. I like the scent of cigarettes.

Let it rain more. More grey.

My tears will vaporize. I will at last be the rain.
Maybe that weep will calm me.
I will jump in the clouds.
Smother in the caves of the ocean.

I will be back in stars.
I will be accelerating through the blackness. And if you are wishing. *** u.

I will be free from all mind all sorrow.
I will be a bird perching on suns.

Yet you know who will crave most for my blood.
Roses.
I have always passed them with a smile.
They want to kiss me. They want to fill me up within them.

I am dying. I have been told by the saint.
It’s just a few decades left.
I have not been able to kiss those sugar lips ever since.

What about you? Will you die?

I will miss my shirts.
