Outside my window,
Raging destruction, I just
Can’t care about it.

Outside my window,
Raging destruction, I just
Can’t care about it.
Oblivion dreamt
I, one night, and still it calls
To me, beckoning.
Chained in the darkness,
In the wreckage of many
Affectations, I
Have no desire.
Liberation? To what? There
Is no world out
There to return to.
This is where I always have
Been, will always be.
At the threshold to
Abundance, I beheld my
Heart’s deepest yearning.
To be seen, to be
Known, appreciated and
Cherished. To see joy
In stranger’s eyes when
They behold me. To speak and
Be heard, understood.
To enjoy the fruits of
My labors. To have my love
Exchanged, increased, shared.
To no longer be
Alone, to share my deepest
Longings with someone.
Finished screaming to
The void, now my voice joins with
A chorus, comrades.
When he came to eat
My planet, it was the one
Hope for salvation.
But when Galactus
Died, the weapon kept firing.
I was neutralized.
Seeking a charge to
Spark me to life again so
I can continue.
Your mother did not
Neglect you because you were
Wrong, she did because
You were the part of
Herself that she neglected.
You are the part of
Her that always knew
What was right, but suppressed it,
For the feelings of
Others. The pathos
And gratitude you see in
That photo is her
Embracing her truth.
Your parents sought to preserve
You by keeping their
Evil away. Lonely,
But insulated. The best
That they could offer.
I sometimes forget
Which side of the glass I’m on.
Am I freezing cold?

This volcano is
My kingdom. These molten wastes,
My lands. You, young one,
Are my subject. Would
You mock your king? Are you made
Of such stern stuff? I
Know the flame holds no
Fear for you. Your element
It is. Yet can you
Know which beasts will prey
Upon you, hid for eons
Untold in bubbling
Steam? Would you venture
Into the waters outside
This black rock, contend
With the wicked beasts
There do prowl? Come, my child.
Sit by my side. Let
Us speak of many
Things. For you have not been borne
Here by accident,
And I suspect our
Purpose is shared. Together,
End our solitude.
