The massive shield; muscles, poker face,
Your pink cape dances behind your stature.
You are so manly, beyond man, beyond fears, mistakes
Your mere presence melts doubt, the unnatural, and wrong
It is like you are a beacon of ideals and wisdom
I turn to you for hope, in awe of the mystical green Yoda
I turn to you for a miracle; shooting star will fall to smash through my window

You don’t bleed, you don’t feel, you are just; being
Inside, the heart pumps kryptonite
You don’t cut, you don’t breathe?
Stealing the good air out of decaying lungs
Pretence, pretence, you embezzled pain, feelings
And tonight I wrap my arms around your indestructible frame,
I dream well, I dream safe. A dream

Body: strong, steel, indestructible in imagery
Fade and decay, in smoke and gentle scent
Ideals crumble, brick by brick, stone by stone, thinly
I hold on to a notion, emote my contentment
When I wake and you wake
And enamoured; disarray, dis-armoured; fatality
A man cease to be a man, cease to be a hero but true.
