Unraveling Illusions

Saffron coated dreams rolled into mind, clouding all and touching nothing, lisping to entice promising to feel Sapphire nights at windows edge, in shadow I saw you pass, starting, at a familiar curve of face my heart paused and contracted speeding to tremble, my chest on fire But, it was just that, my mind again playing an endless circle, of a blind leading mind to the always inevitable, emptiness Fallen leaves brush my face I am with you again, laying next to a stream cords of rippling flesh glisten the waterfalls and magic melting in and to these moments, alas, it was just the curtain dancing in the wind, bringing thought of you with a sweet and sour longing, its aftertaste bitter, still, I crave more I close my eyes leaning back into eons embracing sadness comforted in memory Yet, I still cry for you yearning in the dark for a wisp I cannot wake I’m awoken by another the emptiness, holding me in his embrace, sucking to taste my life living in this darkness, Thus, I commence the unbecoming in beginning of his darkened pustulous reign, I am devolving, in saffron coated dreams, empty
