– life traversing aeons, in suspended animation
across millions of light years, billions of desolate miles
creating unseen universe after universe,
creating unseen...

But the sharp tooth of truth...

While solstice gives solace as the sun dial moves forth

Many years of mysteries immortalized for sacred worship

I met a man a few months back.
Cared for each other more than life itself.
Spent every waking moment together.
Inseparable.

Physically attracted to each other,
Mentally connected as one.

Finished each other sentences.
Knew what the other was thinking before...

In the distance, 
a tremble of the air itself.
A subtle quiver of it's molecular structure.
A charge, causing your hair to come alive.

but a murky sky is hidden inside.

Afraid to portray mourning's of his mind

The performance of a lifetime,
A playwright of romance,
Written by the actors,
Of our never-ending dance.

Slowly the curtain rises,
The conductor lifts his wand,
A soft note begins the fable,

Yet self-assured we begin,
To tell...
