Two Worlds Split
"Two Worlds Split"
One world
fell into unlit hues
black swallows
black dogs their consort
murderous their crows
black wings of darkest blue
dark knight,
their oceans
locked in
another's,
lost eternally,
dark nighted
corralling
the purple heart bruised,
deadly nightshades pierce
the shadows hiding
under the eyes holding
Neptune like Morpheus' waterfalls
the dark things shine inside,
outside, the matter lost in translation
where others dwell in dreams
landing easily like flies
in milk and honey
bathed in imagined notions
their sweet accolades
gilded flummeries
sugar-coated licked
along the curved lines
of a body rolling
moist romance
ships dipping skin
under sails billowing sheets
caressing smiles pinned
and bound unmercifully
against rosy crux
mind stripped naked to the mast
found -
to be
less than
and sorely wanting,
unaware
their life kissed
they’re marked
for other waves
and sure
certainties
baring unsound
sound advice
courts and jesters
courting jesters
made for muted music;
mandrake magicians
a maze amusing muses
in the high tide life
they swim visions
blissfully unaware
in the lost time oceans
where deeper things
swim unprotected
under those treading water
just missed in the forever
these ones,
fanciful and blessed
like saints they be,
ne’er a foot pierced
by wormwood thorn
not cursed nor seeking sanctuary
through written word misfits
are discovered by those
the shade of envy
curling in their veins
the colour of absinthe
vengeance kisses the blarney
wood bees
dripping honey
from their sting,
flutter around butterflies
with poison fangs,
all’s a dance for them
to sweetly tear
the tattooed walls
like parchment scattered
on Winter’s frozen breeze
confetti blithely disregarded
ripped with glee
they split
the other’s world in two
and turn it
on its side
as above
so below
clandestine heartaches
writing lullabies
across the moon
gazing at angels
through the eyes
of a second
the world of other’s
split in two

"No, no, no, no!
Come, let's away to prison:
We two alone will sing like birds i' the cage:
When thou dost ask me blessing,
I'll kneel down, And ask of thee forgiveness:
so we'll live, And pray, and sing,
and tell old tales,
and laugh
At gilded butterflies,
and hear poor rogues
Talk of court news;
and we'll talk with them too,
Who loses and who wins;
who's in, who's out;
And take upon's the mystery of things,
As if we were God's spies:
and we'll wear out,
In a wall'd prison,
packs and sects of great ones,
that ebb and flow by the moon”
"and in the night
you hear me calling
you hear me calling
and in your dreams
you see us falling
you see us falling
breathe in the light
and say goodbye"
“Oblivion”/ M83 (Susanne Sundor)
