I call you mercury When you kill our dreams Moments before we conceive them Lift me up and drop me after Hitting harder than water when soap doesn't lather I call you mercury Times you become a monster Blaming time for making it difficult to be younger Claiming am guilty of certain blunder Casting me out to the bridge and under Being man, I wait on you in total surrender I know you mercury You never blamed for lack of effort Maybe never good enough Maybe cheap as raspberry doughnuts Or unpleasant as stale yoghurt But you don't care anyways Friendship never pays I know you mercury From the note you slipped into my waistcoat Lettered in old English text , a sworn oath Laced with scent from beef broth Which we share every night that's cold Always and forever till we become ghosts I love you mercury For you know what you are Not rigid as iron , never mistaken for water. You become my life support with positive energy A privilege I wouldn't give another. I love you mercury Though there is no winning with you For you are fluid as liquid Tender as morning pasta Unsteady like sea trip always something new Beautiful as jay with blue Amazing like sun shinning around a circle of hue. Overlooking the cottage we built for two. I want you mercury For you become my remedy Pacifying with eyes of hazel and cream Complementing an aura of hibiscus bloom Intoxicating as brew of ripe plum. I want you mercury When you become useful as horse without a cart, but not sufficient without one . Graceful as nun without a child , yet not wanting alone You take away my sanity bringing out my purity For until I conquer me , I can't conquer anything. So till I have you , I have nothing. ..........kazer 2018 Tm-Narcissus...Tm-beast... Tm-god. [Image source](https://pixabay.com/en/swan-bird-water-animal-nature-3688386/)pixabay
