Inviolate
Nobody has the slightest clue
but there are no leads, either...
We have made sure of that.
The paradigm of who we are
has been
put forth and created
by the ones we love
as much as we created
it in our own minds
it was made
blow by blow
blade by bruise
and with hot and cold breath
as we have fluttered along
to amuse and
confuse those who endure
among us
as we endure ourselves.
Not to quench, but engulf.
Let's add...
"Take it as you will!"
We have proclaimed.
"We don't need your pretty
recriminations!"
But at the end of each day,
you linger and
I have the image of snowdrops
of your teeth on your lips
And the thickness of your lips and
your eye lashes
when you roll your eyes
or when they beat to the rhythm
of your blossoming
dry eyed and thick lipped
dreams and cream.
No one can take the
proclivities
of my heavy heart. It is
a stupid start
from the heaving and aching
(it's unseemly)
from the breath that
goes down a notch
and escapes
the leaps and bounds of
the lips that have done all, cursed you
and kissed all the
bits of you.
I wish for sustance in the gloomy places
and lightness in the treaden on ones.
Perhaps it is not a false paradigm
afterall, when we say it's not so.
And everyone needs to shut
the flip up.
Can not help the confidence
that enrobes
us. Just pretend
and put your hands up
if you aquiesce to my vision
i will put us into real time
Let's go together....
I can't slow it down....
I try to enhance
and it's a small glance
into the darkness,
and you aren't there
I can never fear
That which is not here.
We will avenge
together
if we have
the
time
...
I will make time
for us only
if you would only
spare me a moment
And we won't leave a trace.
