Poem Title:
Poem
Transpiring for tranquility, For that loving long embrace… Once again, I look away from my existence And meet your precious gaze Of whom do we owe our lives, our hearts, our time? To the one who has died, or the one that dies yet still, for you..? I ignore the moments of pleasure so trivial in blinded eyes, To focus my awareness of your bleeding cadence I see the fury of jealousy riding on the outlines of your jaw The tension in your frown, the pain in your still, genuine smile Your face becomes soft in my presence, though from a distance, You are terminally coarse You are breaking, awakening by the frenzy of my love, Crying so darkly for my mind to comprehend your doomed destiny And in spurts of silver moments, I do see you, In all pools of blood and tears, Mixing with all of the familiar hesitancies and fears I am fighting now, to push away the useless light of the ignorant multitude Parting from their detached arrays, into your sweet supple gaze Where freely the tears fall upon my breast, Tortuous, the pulse begs merciless against my chest Your pupils enlarge, rivaling the world in my stare Perspiring peace glistening in our blend We realize in this union we owe each other nothing For we have died together, loved freely, and lived To suffer again no more -For Justin Bordner's "The Crosses In Your Eyes" Contest-
