The Velvet Echo
"The Velvet Echo"
Lives
eclipse
one comes in
the other out
passing light
in empty hallways
corridors of subversive
romantic notions
strange singing,
the sounding lifts
waves
enticing,
smiles curiously
unsure, in the drift
towards another life
oceans deeper across
invocations, swimming sirens
beautiful bells appealing
fibonacci tendrils
enveloping emptiness
another language
transferred, in the feeling
stretching eternity
in subliminal universes
never touching
but touching
one looks over
to the other,
there, somewhere,
something other, sensed
contracted
reflections
holding
patterns
for a while each
the other
the signing sings
in elliptical signals
mysterious
missives
one in wonder
one in doubt
the myth of each
rich and encrypted
before waking
as in a dream
there in that sacred place
a voice unseen
impresses,
its velvet echo caresses
the softness suspended
in two hearts held
it says,
to each
“You are in my realm now”
“You are in my realm now”
