i used to walk along our ridge
looking out to you,
feeling swarmed in our love.
that ridge has crumbled
and now i walk alone.
i found a path, with which to make my way
but still
i look out to you, and
blinded by the solitude,
continue on.
so i wander
purposely without aim
through deserts of desire
and valleys of fear.
i walk on
searching for the glory
i once placed in you.
when hate clouds my actions,
loving kindness
rains
from the depths of your soul.
when lust and loathing shrink your heart,
my boundless sensuality will enfold us,
deeper
into magnetic ecstasy.
fears melt away
in the fire of our passion,
as we join in a crucible of love.
we are wizards,
you
and
i
manifestors of truth,
and benders of reality.
we forge a new way,
towards the infinite.
so cleave to me my beloved,
let us build our world together
and drown our bliss
in endless pleasure.
sailing
through diamond sky,
hopeless
wingless
and full of fire,
i see her
peacefully
passing me by.
the cold touch of yesterday’s
ruin,
but a memory,
to be forgotten,
like that kiss we almost shared
under the baobob…
but alas,
we were never there.
wanton truths
dealt from a soul of lies,
the Universe weeps,
a fallen angel cries.
a wickedness,
aimed ever
pure, direct,
and true,
the telltale signs
of murderous virtue.
no longer welcome,
no longer afraid,
no longer the child
who sang sadly in the rain.
a wild wind blows,
whispering peace
and destruction.
a wild wind blows
calling your name.
what destiny awaits
the steadfast and true?
what reckoning follows
where the wild wind goes?
eternity captured
in a single moment-
or perhaps,
maybe
two,
before the reality
of now
crashes through.
borrowed feelings
slip the skein and
leave lovers
lost,
with no path home,
and so the demons await
with angelic blessings:
lust and fire
and perpetual desire.
expanding inwards:
implosion of tactile delight,
so the madness returns,
embraced warmly, without a fight.
sifting through a catalogue of feeling,
none seem to ring true
which is why when the sky is falling
i long all the more for you.
but the clouds roam high, and shall not tumble
nor will they shatter, and into the void crumble
so walk with me, and let us two see
just how tremendously foolish love can be.
forsaken and naked,
staring into the abyss,
haunted eyes
look back, boring deep
into me.
or,
are those eyes
mine?
silent
& thunderous.
an inferno
of the serene.
I look
up
in awe, my heart
leaping
across infinity
as your cool flame scalds my soul.
racing,
gracefully, across the burning dawn,
her sliver of wonder catches my eye,
setting a flame to the magic inside.
…and she moves on.
triumphant, vainglorious….untested,
and blessed
with a golden touch of destiny,
a new day rises.
filled with promise
and hopes undeclared.
and so, a great joy grows in my chest,
yet i long
for my lady of the night.
i yearn for her mystery, and thirst
for her wisdom.
so i wait
for darkess to fall,
so we are free to fly,
together again.
