Open Silver Dawn

There it is, the chance of another day; crushed and exctracted melancholy that shared our souls. Memories transported our ancient toils and everything in between and afar let go of thousands of doves into the calm white-striped sky. Be there and appreciate. Simple again, more importantly there is less to destroy after sunset, there is two and only two. Pearly ponds of satin glow, crude and beautiful waterlily silently oscillating under the pressure of timeless sleep. It has wondered by and awakened passionate seemly looks, but there is never a passage, nor is there transition. I ran from slick to stone to fine meadows, and I dared to look beyond, at the other side.
Whatever fear I had quickly evaporated with the pleasure of assurance: there would never be that which I feared. It will never be because the words that you and I issued and heard -never really registered, since we existed on some other level too- would cause a finality so sudden and finite that whatever I might see would pale in comparison. Terminal love enraptured us, ending this life and beginning a new and better existence: you and I became us and we either looked on or looked at, but never back.

Acrylic Nightmare

Smoke rimmed with red, from the early bleeding sun. Smoke, gray, acrid from my mouth into there, where I look across the steaming pool, beyond the ciment valley, over the forgetful, sleeping mountains. The last time I thought of you, we forgot everything life held and laboured into grandiose designs; grand and great; soft and dramatic. Cold earth, wringing hands on my knees and my eyes look ever closer into the dramatic scenes of stupored existence. Forgetful ourselves we love into night, languish the running sands together until the enormity of it all consumes the perfection that blessed us. A pull, then we breathe, speechless in this condensed moment. So many thoughts cannot be contained, breath exists yet the sleek coldness of your warmth awakes centuries of my mind; thaw and boil. The moment never altered, never faded. I would be the skytop angel descending, the fallen angel at your knees, by your will. By your grace.
Smoke seeping through my nostrils. Early, with the sun a decorative scripture revealing its hidden purpose, life seemed mysterious, impenetrable - delirious . At the same time, the green waters of the pool reflected the act: a horrid mirror, frantic and mocking with archaic power. Again, life has never been so alone and worthless.
