Poem

(A lone voice whispers)

 I can still subliminally feel 
All those sad fears

Rhythmically swirling like sharpened kitchen knives
Within all your world crazy choices

Which cuts me so deep
Like cold Tamahagane steel

Above all this new
Life's 
Now old noises

I can still just see you 
Sitting there

In your darkened bedroom
Somewhere
Oversea

Dressed in that familiar soft white lace

With translucent tears
Running like the Nile 
Down 

Your beautiful face
Thinking of me

As a lone crone
In a faraway forest
In triumph 

Sings 

Dances a wild jig 
And rejoices

Overjoyed by her spells
Creating such paid for turmoil 

Of fake excuses and tragic surprises
In you

For
I know
It's not fair

What you're going through
But trust me

I'm 
Going through the fire 
Too

For 
This thing we started with a match
 
This inexplicable magical thing
This molten fire that still burns so deep

Like it's taboo
Since we parted

Reaches so deep
Inside

I can't sleep
Can't work
Can't recall

How many times
I've cried out 
Brokenhearted

For I remember
Those sweet salad days
In 2021

Before our love
Painfully crawled away and died 

Like a silhouette in the setting Autumnal sun
When we parted ways

Walking on the beach
With the girl next door

Who came to me
Unexpectedly

Like a serene gift 
From The Holy Sea

Gently fluttering by
To say hello

Like a rare beautiful Glasswing Butterfly
But now

We're but  two 
Lost souls
With nowhere to go

Just wondering round
In familiar sad round circles

And looking into 
This purple haze

The very mouth of this black abyss
Before me
Looking at the mistakes

We once made
In my scrying mirror

As our tarot cards 
Were first laid
When we unexpectedly first kissed

While we walked
Its tired pavements
Lost in its maze

I pray and hope you still
Think of me

The ghost
Who still loves his beautiful rare Glasswing butterfly

And all the games we once played 

From the Realms
Of The Great In-Between
Sent to love you

To remind you
You're so special

An astral envoy
Sent like a 
Spiritual Kestrel

To inspire others 
Especially those
That suffer in silence

So turn that Southern Country music up high

To drown out your world's violence 
For a light like yours
Must shine

Smile and remember me

And it's why
This old ghost
Can never say goodby

For our old love
Lives beyond
The seas of this black abyss

Forever 
Spinning

In my memories
Of our
First poetic unexpected kiss
