In that time When we were whole When all we could think about Was each other
And my soul was clean
We spent time Learning the riddles In each others skin Painting with lightening And ice Words like brushes Arcing across dimensions All circling about our hearts A wind in the weaves of fate Whispering a gift to us Like we had never known
In the morning Before work some days past You came out from about A wooden corner You seemed to have a billion eyes And they all smiled at me Like the calm luster Of the moon
"I'm late" you said And I got half way through The stupid " you don't work toda...." When my soul slapped my brain Across the face with such raw ferocity That I was worried the neighbors Would call the police
Stammering like a drunken lunatic I went to her and embraced the Glow of her, the energy piercing us Coiling about in infinite design
Just this once did I ever know peace
We talked about everything My body went to work My mind dreamt and my soul... Well it danced. We brought life to our parents eyes and hope to ours.
It was just a few weeks in And that same wooden corner And that same beautiful woman But there was fear So much fear A red red fear And the world turned grey
Her words were like ashes to me Cast over my frozen body I stood blank holding her heaving form
"It doesn't want to stay" she said "Why doesn't it wan't to stay ?"
I wanted to say something Anything!! But I died right there Still breathing Holding her in Pompei comfort. Like a little wooden man Holding a plastic flower Begging to forget the answer To whether or not God gave a ****.
