I know you're there
I can feel you
Though we are separate
What ***͏̢id̵͢es҉ us
I am not sure
Just stay with me
If only for a while
I do not wish to be alone
The satellites whisper "Rèj̀͡҉o̸i͢c͠e̛"
In a broken f̷útù̢r͢è̶̕
That they too may fall

Detach
Eject
Remove the panels
To reveal a void
Circuitry and wires
Long defunct
Now something more
Yet where and when
Is unknown

Wait for me
I'll be there
In the code that remains
Nostalgic geometry
Behind warm glass
Flickering
Residing in a mainframe
Long destroyed
And yet consciousness persists
Against all odds

Good poems are hard to find
Our opinions so often swayed
By the number next to it
Or the thought of the masses
Some great writings
Are only great
Because we think they are
And there in lies
The subjectivity of art
A beautiful thing
Not to be mingled with reality

Subjectivity is a foreign concept
To the Earth we inhabit
A nebulous thing
Birthed in the human mind
The world is as it is
All one can do
Is get closer to the truth
We are all simply
At different points
Along that journey
Indeed most never make it
Until they reach that place beyond

Subjectivity in art
Is something to be cherished
But keep it out of reality
Unless you wish the world about you
To fracture and crumble to dust

Feel the drum drum
Drumbeat
The closest you get
To feeling complete
When the music swells
To the highest high
Then falls to earth
To pass you by
Let it speak to you
In a deeper tone
Than anything
You've ever known
Lose yourself
If only for a while
To find again
That youthful smile

From when your worries were few

It's a slow burn
It'll just take time
Starting from nothing
Trying to find our rhyme

And rhythm
Where two make one
Your soaring highs
And my steady drum

We'll get there
If we fan the flame
Love only grows
You can't love a name

So listen close
Just feel the beat
As the fire grows
Turn up the heat


And Ignite
Fan the flame
Burning bright
See it from space
