striving
so hard for that
something always just far
enough away we can't reach. be
content
content,
material
aspects of ambition
laid before technological
altars
altars
before which we
lay our worldly treasures
gifts to the divine, hoping for
exchange
exchange
equal or fair
does that ever happen
the measure is never exact
severed
severed
my ventricles
atriums taken too
where on earth has it gotten to
my heart
my heart
is back beating
in my own chest again.
it had been out for a while
in yours.
in yours,
the dreams are lost
in surreal surroundings--
while in my world, there is no room
for dreams.
for dreams..
i would give all
for saturation and
wild flower fields, soft breezes,
held hands
held hands
as we climbed up
stiles and fences between
fields of gold and green, happily
enjoined
enjoined
as one always
one thought, one mind, one heart
connected, inseparable,
glowing
glowing
embers popping
curled before the fire
waiting for your warmth to set me
ablaze
ablaze
we rise above
lapping flames, tongues stretched out
to taste the heat of next world's fire...
wink out
Wink out
the sun now, and
blink away the rain, the wind;
walk the world with closed eyes- seeing
all things.
all things
work together
for good is their sweet goal
plow, pen, pram, planting seeds of hope
taste it
taste it
it may be sweet,
could be sour, bitter
yes, but you can't savor it your
last hour
last hour,
midnight creeps up,
a horrible vicious
monster, gripping the city in
its claws.
its claws
raking the soil,
the gouges left behind
deep enough for evil's black hand,
beware
beware
of solids between
fading glances and winds
turning, lyric touch blown without
hearing
hearing
waiting, silent
stretching the bounds of time
straining nerves for the slightest noise
listen
hearing
such nights in awed
quietness, pulsing notes
in the last breath of the final
flowers
erm...
Edit: listen
to nights in awed
quietness, pulsing notes
in the last breath of the final
flowers
:)
flowers
crumpled petals
staining my hands with pink
and lavender, fragrance downward
drifting
drifting
in dark silence,
the earth turns toward morning,
blackbird chortles, the light expands,
I write
I write,
keyboard-pecking,
the click-clack-click warns of
stories told, views expounded, words
displayed
displayed
in ordered rows
dust-covered and dog-eared
bindings cracked by loving fingers
old books
old books,
pebbles under
rivers, we look again
the words hold their shapes, only we
flow by.
flow by
pale arms outstretched,
float upon the ether,
breathe in the divinity of
all souls
all souls
connected by
an everlasting love
spoken through smiles shared between all
people
people
magnificent
terrible and holy
mere stardust made effectual -
stardust
stardust
brushed from my eyes
by your fallen angel
what romantic nonsense it is
true love
true love
experienced
miraculous and whole
more than a body can contain
spilling
spilling
over the edge,
cascading over me,
waterdrops sparkling as they flow
downwards
downwards
below the rim
winding through desert scrub
the muddy Colorado rules
the Canyon
the Canyon,
deep dark crevice,
a break in the earths crust
waiting to swallow you into
darkness
Darkness
nor even light
are eternal - have faith
one will pass and the other will come
in time
in time
we will dance in
that cosmic space between,
dazzled by the universe and
timeless
timeless
the hours with you
lost between the seconds
holding back the hand that teases
tick tock
hi!:p
tick tock
grandfather clock
counting out the seconds
of our dreadful, meaningless lives
listen
listen
to the mourning
dove as she coos and cries
for her lost love; I hear and my
tears fall
tears fall
keeping time with
the creaking of the door
swinging shut behind you as you
leave me
