Love is the exquisite pain The poetry of sultry rain in unison with our breathing Fogging the windows
Before the hollow siroccos moan cold grey lonely Hallways dim Velvet Sorrows Blackened Walls of the new moon void of our lungs' illustrations
Even now in memory's whisps How exquisite the frame Picturesque recollection Polaroid for the finality of farewell
Just us / ghosts now Without / but dust / once was None-such eyes / dilates Can emptiness be Felt En flagrante glaciers Enflamed diminishment?
Seems the loud moments remain
Drowned the reasons of its thundering All intentions deigned since Defeated slump with No dire aches Mumbling a corpse heavy mind Lacking a fleet of feeling to combat self hateful Blight
Gone in the gloom Which is palpable like the taste of smoke That carries warning signals to the sun with the ****** of native drums Going Gone will o' whispering past
Yet shadows are forgetful in dreams As we are sleeping to wake In the beams
Memory echoing from touch Our bodies quake... Inspired by much Hearts rush
And still the loudest feelings remain An old painting in its frame
Our art as body paint heaven pouring in You and I remain Born not made
(To make) Love our loudest moment :
Canvas to frame/ A window and the rain...
This is a rewrite and edited final draft, you can read the original at writerscafe.org/poeticfluffer but much of it has been removed for literary purpose and it just reads better. Hope you like this one.
