96. "Autumn"

Baptized

By the wind,

I think of you...

I don't know why.

Only these thoughts

Make me feel

Real.

Not knowing where

They wander-

Collected by

Each ticking

Hand of time:

Cutting through.

Does gravity

Linger too

In their air-

Memory

Pulled gently by

Some tide?

As bodies break

Will I divide-

To weave a bond

Of heart,

Some story:

You.

Coalescing-

Emerging:

A child of love and time-

Clarity experienced-

Floating so

High:

Polymer superstars-

Bridge to

Infinity:

Does each heart

Disguise

This chrysalis-

Waiting to break free,

Formless

Along our old path-

Weaving patterns,

Secrets

In the woods?

A fluid tapestry,

Flickering

Until illusions die-

The wind stops.

Dead leaves

Slow dancing

Fall still-

Somewhere-

As we walk

Hand in hand.

Crystals fall:

Delicate- perfect,

Sacred gravity-

Faith alone

Keeps us alive

Through the woods.

In such

Blinding.

Silence.

To balance, share:

Discover and

Grow-

As we resonate

Harmonic time-

This home...

Love.

Where the fire-

Crackles from

Our eyes:

Sipping memories,

Streaming whispers,

Tangled stories...

So much warmer,

Sweeter- pure:

Knowing frostbite-

Ice.

This is our heart-

Unbound by time.

Drinking each other:

Inhaling.

The water of life-

Breathing in

Out- so slowly.

We know why

It has to hurt

Right,

Now.

Digging deep,

Frozen:

In a moment.

I am grateful

For each gentle

Breeze:

Every dream of

Gravity,

Energized.

The act of love in form-

Hearts made

Of vanity:

Lifetimes shattered

Into seeds-

Dots and lines

Multiplying:

Alive- thirsty:

Within.

To divide-

Build love,

Grow life-

Digging waves of time,

Story arcs-

Beautiful gods, animals.

From one moment-

In your embrace

What I discovered,

True belief.

Love

Existing, alone,

The sea:

Energy burning

So

Bright.

Contradictions

Building pain-

Hope. Growth:

Something innate:

Cyclic- evolving,

Ineffable.

Foundations

For creation-

Imagination:

Cryptic characters-

Divided values,

Irrational variables:

Equations

Just for

You and i...

Something new-

Dreams of

Freedom.

A black hole-

Pregnant

With light.

A goddess:

A seamstress-

A tear.

Draped

In the fabric of

Identity:

Some land of

Recycled

Galaxies-

Creation

Powered by

Collapse-

Evolving

Piece by piece

Today:

Lush velvet landscapes

Of pearls

Diving down,

Light waves

Splashing

Feathered dreams-

Flying free along

The bluffs of

Two bodies:

Bliss-

A cherry blossom

Drifting from the moon,

Singing

Goodnight~

As we awake:

Warm from

These stories of dancers

And mirrors-

Reflections multiplied,

Discovered- divided:

Broken;

Naked

Illusions

In your gaze.

Homeless

In a world

Of giants:

Shapeshifters

Singing

Your song.

Shedding scales,

A chord:

To break through-

Nightmare

Key to

Lucidity:

A puzzle

The mind races

To solve-

As we soar.

Energy, magic-

Potential

Through intent:

In time,

The wish of

Love...

Echoes bridging

The light

Of dawn:

Tide of riddles-

Sea of wonder,

Paradise.

Why should i

Deserve

Your heart,

Already

Sharing

Its reflection-

Pierced by that

Golden needle

Of belief?

These colors bleed

Only

For you...

Love does not run

Disparate,

Afraid:

Even if your patience

Waits

Invisible, silent-

Beyond

Death's parting lips-

I will smile,

I remember my roots:

The source.

Some shattered kingdom

Claiming a lost

Child-

Where mockingbirds

Take puddle baths-

Icicles opening

Light showers- eyes closed,

Beings defined

In warmth alone.

Balancing

Motion

In time.
