A primal inertia has held us together.
I dream of a time where we collided,
when we danced together in a molten tango,
a violent waltz of heat and fury.
As our heavenly bodies fell into each other,
we shone a light into the darkest of worlds.

You governed my forces,
shaped all I was ever to be.
A gift of enduring stability,
a womb, a cradle,
a playground.

but now,
a heavy force,
a heavenly force,

a gravity,
that which pulls us ever further apart.
I have all the power of this world but still...
still I can not hold you.
With every passing moment you grow more distant,
Your face, as I will always remember it, is frozen in time.

But still you shine on,
You give light to the dark of my night,
You give hope to the life that I hold.

You are my companion in time.

You are my distant love.

I am the earth,

and you,

you are the moon

A winter's day with frozen pipes,
and twin cut legs with all the gripes.

We harvest snow,
from
the
fallen
tree,
for tea.

The musky air inside holds all its dust,
suspended in a moment that will always break my heart.

These years have yawned away,
and I no longer play.
Oh the lies we spend on youth,
but not here,
not in your heyday,
your palace,
our genesis,
our kingdom of roots,
of where you end and I begin.

And while you sleep,
the spiders drink from your mouth,
as though there was never a drought,

But,
I know you will not flood me again.

Trapped and static,
particles infiltrate my breath.
I am compressed,
I am held,
this cell,
this hell.

Hate,
rejection,
approval,
my captors.

I immerse myself in white noise,
I reside in my sorrow,
in my despair,
in chains, in tears,
this cellular embrace.

Sadness echoes once more in my chambers,
pain, residing in me like a filthy squatter,
and my heart is squalid,
unfurnished.

Surrounded in you,
you are the fastness of my echo.

Blind to passing of time,
terminal temporal velocity.
Intermittent appearance in mind,
stroboscopic lighting stealth,
vision emblazoned in neurons,
neutrons,
electrical impulses connect.
Static between interstellar fingers,
forgotten moments later.
Electricity no memory,
memory is electric.
Close eyes to see,
believe future is happening.
Ripped apart by cosmic rays,
very own building blocks,
play well together.
Clouds are not for rain.
Have yet been invented,
lungs do not breathe,
air does not exist.
Memory, from the future.
Because all time is now

Beauty, in my eye, yet I do not hold you.
Every curve, every contour, every thing.
A desire in me, exceeding need for breath.
******* my soul with her very existence.
That I could clothe myself in her wake.
Immerse this broken into her healing.
Fate propels us to futile fusions, desolate.
Unrooted in fertile lands, I am nothing.
Lifted by your beautiful, I am everything.

I fell,
in love with your broken.
I fixed you
then
set
you
free.

Fractured,
in words left unspoken.
I'm broken
as
broken
can
be.
