Stardust blankets lacrimosa skies,
a requiem of times gone by.
The taste of late summer nights still lingers on bittersweet lips,
yet somehow, now, it’s become stale—like blue cheese and old pickles.
A crisp breeze cascades from the north,
ushering in the dawn of autumn.
Vivid memories begin to fade from lucidity.
Crystal droplets fall from despondent eyes,
puddling around forsaken feet.
Swimming in grief, struggling to breathe,
I begin drowning in agonized anguish.
Reaching out for you, my fingers crumble within my grasp,
for ghosts can’t pull you from the plunge.
As emotions overwhelm with every heartbeat,
I sink further into this beckoning night,
my soul crashing under increasing pressure.
Flickering recollections fade in and out of view—
hypoxic, flesh turning blue.
Muscles tighten, flinch.
Clenching my chest, cardiac arrest imminent,
for your untimely demise was my fatality.

Existence evaporating in loves empty extinguishing,
Resistance resonating amidst forthcoming futile exile;
Distance desecrating dreams dormant diminishing,
Subsistence sacrificial amongst hominids hostile.
*** *** *** *** ***
Disappearing divinity divergent of idols imaging,
Fearing forever fading loves upon vacant voids;
Appearing apparitions abandoned forever finishing,
Domineering demons dispatching destructive droids.
...this lento can also be read backward...

Timeless thoughts that echolessly evaporate
Thru mystic portals that relentlessly regenerate
Emotions deeply drowning in a black hole bliss
Deja vu dreams decaying of love’s first kissed
Fortuitously falling through impetuous infinity
Closely watched by defiant decorous divinity
I’m a mastered puppet within a salient soliloquy.

My remaining days,
Merely a shadow of those expended.
It’s as if I’ve floated through time,
Aping smoke, born of a match head,
Drifting Indiscriminately,
Chasing dreams, oft dwarfed by reality,
Evaporating days,
Auto-bused me to the stop at which I stand;
I realize now, that life was truly a vapor,
And beyond life, a timeless existence
With God.

Reflections are dancing across the lake
Take my soul and please do not break
My heart is dying inside of chest
But I'll be okay because I've been blessed
Baby blue eyes guide my enduring path
And please banish me from all of this wrath
Rendezvous stars glisten in the skies
Take my dying heart and make it rise
Don't fall out now, we've been through too much
To not be together or feel each others touch
For in a small amount of time we made history
But how we work with each other is still the mystery
Don't give up now, we've made it so far
To stop believing in your tiny star
Your star can be bright and shine up high
Please don't let our love evaporate and die
For I am your shining star up in the night
When we evaporate, remember I'm your star so bright

Niveous pristine
Sculpted stiff mount crystalline
Scorching,perspiring !
Gelid mound earth thaw
Deity's paragon - " BLUE "
Enticing milieu ?
