Poem Title:
Poem
I sigh … pushing warm, wordless weight onto the twilight mist where its folly hangs like old sackcloth the silver-doubloon moon dripping it’s wan wonder to daub breath and bones alike with rusted romance - a languid lie that loves to tease - that lives to clutch my heart in its chill digits and wring each memory from my gut cackling all the while at the dreamy stain left behind - the trail of crumbs and lost loves that fools as I devour in the ignorance of age … the barren bones that lesser creatures pass by in apathy and greater creatures choke on … I am boundless in my longing this breeze of brine boils my marrow beads of moonlight spatter wave-tops as if alive - as if each silver burst was a note of child laughter skipping away to find a tympan, sweet or a moony firefly of singular purpose now there - now gone … each, lives the life of an instant yet is a glorious bloom of magic and timeless grace that reaches its tendrils deep into my essence … that, with this salty air and cool sand and rhythmic washing of the shore speaks to me in a voice as clear as the gods themselves a voice that calls to the most visceral reaches of my spirit a tender voice of hope and life and dreams and AWE … a voice of dazzling wonderment and tragic sorrow a voice that trembles my bones and stirs my heart with a yearning and thirst, unquenchable a voice … of deceit … It sings to me yet - beyond all sense and caring and prudence and time proven that you were the ONE … it’s a voice that I wish beyond all imaginings I would never hear again but that nonetheless continues on and finds me inexorably bound to this place to that devil moon to this limitless sea and … to YOU.
