I'M Back: Turn On the Lights
We had to wait. Both Him and I,
for raging winds to cease and allow-
soft puddles of shifting hue:
Jade emeralds,
Plum wine,
taxi yellow;
whispering together, their colourful voices mingling:
green slithers into the hot breath of red's maniacle cackle,
and yellow crackles like fireworks, zipping away in ecstasy across the sunset strip
of Sky, blue, deep, hollow in its warbling cry,
purple makes it's way in spiralling streaks; bold, leathery, loud, with seductive magic
in every step, exuding pleasure, hedonism, passivity- unity...
But we carry on dancing, fire prevents us from lying too long, even then we stop
drop, and roll
striving, striving, striving,
until
we
STAND.
now we pursue our dreams again,
He tells me its all over,
we awaken the pain that comes with loss,
We didn't make life what we wanted,
losing all that never was,
But we succeeded in one thing-
that which dwells in our minds, is the perfect creation,
We became artists, one line at a time,
having it's own character- living only when exposed
One life at a time, lived one day at a time,
in the world of the real, the world of smells- of sounds- of sights.
So hey man, lets turn on the lights.
