In a world where I do not exist,
stars will still glow like sequins of lilac.
Nightingales would serenade hope,
fields of fickleness would fade,
unfolding grains of gold in bloom,
cultivated with candor and calmness.
The moon will be your muse,
bleeding sea-snail soliloquies,
breathing colors of crimson red,
while twilight twinkles
in sizzling streaks,
like fireflies flickering fervent flares,
reflecting auroras in neon blue,
strewn like pink pearls of peace.
There, the trickle of serene
water will pass.
Yet I’ll be but a mere speck
of galactic sand,
entombed in an onyx casket
of Reaper’s promises~
unreachable and unattainable.
Poetry will cease to echo
like a raging radio blaring off-key,
with splitting riddles of drama
reverberating amplified angst within.
There will be one less problem
manipulating its way
into deafening chaos;
desperate for attention,
drowning in despair
and endless darkness,
bringing gales of grief
while the horizon barely lights up,
where twisted metaphors
transcribe Lilith’s mantras
into kohl caves of shrieking shadows.
But what is life without the
sun’s fiery embrace exhaling love,
in sync with the heartbeat’s hymn?
When everything once
written and chronicled
now serves as a token
of tormented tercets weeping
mementos of melted misery,
within the hellish grave of innocence.
No longer will you be caged
like a wingless eagle
awaiting frost-free skies adorned
with wildflower wishes,
to soar and drift amidst
the citrus scent of perfumed rain.
Artists would create
constellations of cubism~
crafting stellar romance.
Illustrations of twin flames would
render what could have been
in a wintry fairytale,
cosmically curated by raindrop angels,
manifesting meadows thriving
in the musical mists of tomorrow.
The astral roses within
your soul will sprout,
believing that the gossamer beauty
of butterfly brushstrokes lasts;
happiness will ebb and flow
in perfect rhymes.
Tears will no longer drape
the lunar light
like lusterless diamonds.
Soothing droplets of kismet spring
will gently patter
against amethyst valleys.
There will be no unheard cries
or voiceless farewells
whispered in silent sighs.
Silhouettes of deceased sunflowers
will be a familiar remnant,
and in those illusions,
you might think of us—
lost moments time did steal.
No bruised ego will
veil soulmates fated to be.
And maybe then the balmy
breeze will cradle you to sleep,
where you and I will forever be one,
like timeless candles illuminated
with dahlia drizzles.
For I’ll love you despite these demons~
infinitely beyond dreams and death…
