How Long Is Forever

The vision calls me once again against this restless night in brilliant strata gems, in timeless dreams of light. I close my ancient eyes, and there, so long ago I see the walls that rose above the eventide. For it was there where we scaled the lofty cliffs and breached the gates of a grand estate with rows of high arched windows, fine and endless rooms of decadence in decline. His youth, his hair, flowed e’er alive, my heart revived I followed in his footsteps as we ran among the heights. Hidden memories we explored, abandoned dusty rooms we fell into each other’s arms, dancing to a distant tune. Under the vast eternal sun, my heart was knit in rapt kinship, time melted in his presence our days divine, indelible design were carved for us and us alone. In random room we laid upon a dingy floor his strong limbs, my budding breasts together we explored youth’s sparks as thick as honey, blossoming to a fragrance. No other bliss could be like this, I now know with mirrors in my mind of sunsets’ glow undimmed by time, I’ll ne’er forget... ...I open ancient eyes with honey on my lips. Written on 1/20/2020
