And then I reset...

As I rise from rest
I know a few things
One of which is simple:
Watermelon is the perfect fruit
The others are more complex
I can't really explain:
Love is elusive
It can be my best friend
Or it can be my worst enemy
However, I've had it best before
And...
Abelias.
Like the flower?
Not sure what this means
Maybe it's an anagram for something
Something largely important
Or someone
Who it seems as though
My whole life depends on
This one, I can't seem to let go of
Abelias...

I won't forget, I know
I'll never escape these woes
No matter how hard I try
I can never match that high
I can't even write a poem about other things anymore. It always circles back. Her love courses through my veins. I'll give it back soon.

This pain
All encompassing
A strange filth
That I can't wash off
I mean how
How could I possibly
Ever see
All of those buildings
All of those hallways
All of those streets
That library
Without instantly melting
Into the ground
Where I belong
Where my purpose lies

I am the abelias
A pain so great even the panic runs away.

Brooklyn Bela
Isa, Hella
Sometimes called
Abelias
A graceful girl
Lust angel
Ethereal

When the stars align
You will be mine
When the world turns thin
We'll be together again
When mountains are rivers
And volcanos shiver
And voices are seen
And the cut is clean
When chants are for me
And you care to see
And life is worth living
And taking is giving

When no longer
My actions prevent me
From truly showing
How much i love you
That is when this will mean
Much more than goodbye
Dragging this out. Part 3 soon.
