i find myself alone in a wilderness of air
black eyes the trees teeth have clawed
and still clouds of insects hover blue above me
preening for the clever seeds
the morning began with the nauseating metal birds
repeatedly collapsing from the sky around me
dusty seperations from my lovers arms
and acidic hands to creep the lonely hours
i watched the windy seconds passing
eternities in heavy breaths and fingers tensed
silence over the cacophonous machines entangled
waiting for some word of fond fancy
...........................................
i am speechless in you
and want only what we've always had
a spirit of endless wonder in eachothers eyes
an alembicated perpetuity of passionate ardency
i am still in the first hours of romance
the place where thoughtful gestures fold the clues
darb glances fill the room with watchful eyes
every movement of your voice an ancient ship
i am lost in the thick of it
yet you are so far away and will be farther soon
captured by the heartless metal birds i've seen today
carried away to more distant wakings
new sidewalks to grave your feet for walking
new atmospheres of trembling fervor
my holy hands shall hold you always
cups to sleep on in the spilling night
