Rattling my Silver Sword Quiet

Dandelions shivered when patient 
               you breathed here 
unknotting ropes across my prison door 
your deeds proceeded surely dear
guitaring songs of war and love for all to hear 
as petals opened dripping yellow blood
               guts writhing the knots inside
Black Excalibur tourmaline handle swish, hiss
           silver soothing a red hot spine

Now your taste, smell and touch is 
          away, bays floating 
in space you sway calling my name 
silvery shadow and amber locks the same
rooted to stable sea spun docks 
I watch our atoms entangle acid muddled 
              grandfather paced the passage
Excalibur Black gold lacing swish, hiss, wish
       my exactitude assessed strategic sword’s desires

Soaring your steady head 
      observes luminal Ashtar
          breathing into two hearts whispering 
deadening longing loosening its hold
though my wishes held by penalties 
bond remains sealed in aeonic sky bold
faces and aces merging quiet quarking
         Black Excalibur blade swish, hiss, wish
          all preconceptions sharpened dissolving 
 
Serapis’ turquoise chiffon turban blows 
          binary seeds arching fold
unborn worlds as you forward peer 
will arms aching or wings fluttering 
shorten shimmering light I cast fast 
across stoic heights set between 
throbbing Hearts of bloodless waiting ?
      grandmother continued baking bread
Excalibur Black  pointed_____ swish, hiss
            silver cymbals clashing duality

throbbing Hearts of bloodless waiting
      bloodless Hearts of throbbing longing _____
Black Excalibur pierced Hearts open
            Love quarks floats in ether
               black-white to remain in static
                I do not melt despairing, though brain cells are dissolving 
                   It is ONE who commands all silver
a stainless steel colander fell 
                                     rattling my sword quiet
