00. "Fool"

"Sparkle"

Pregnant Synapse

Fireworks-

New year for

The moon.

I do not need to feel your touch, to know your

Gentle arms.

I do not need to know your life, to see your

Crystal dreams.

I do not need to see your eyes, to feel your

Endless love.

I have, and so I do: I was, and so I am:

Dear fool.

It would be so nice to wander through those woods with you again…

To once more find reflections in the presence of your light.

But I know I will return,

Someday,

In dreams…

And I know you still exist-

Preserved,

Perfectly-

Rooted,

Within this splintered mind-

And that is peace enough.

All we ever needed

Was a moment,

Past.

One glance, one dream, one touch:

A single frame in time-

To know you,

Love.

Reality-

Deck of dreams,

Origins

Black-lit.

Even zero is a number

That grounds infinity-

A bridge:

Existence.

That's all it takes.

Curiosity:

Children on a shooting star,

Games of

Wondering:

Do seashells sing like matryoshka dolls?

Echo universe,

Painting landscapes:

Resonance.

…And we will make mistakes in our desire to control-

To reciprocate discovery- pursuit:

For this, I am sorry.

Time is beautiful,

But in the growth of life,

forever unknown:

I do not mean to impose on you-

Love is welcome, openly.

I do need you-

But I need the you within.

Outside, you are someone else now-

Defined: meaning in motion.

Memories and form

Juxtaposed

With a heart:

I will rest my eyes.

I do not need you

Formed alone,

Without me-

You belong only to them,

Just as i do to us:

To parallels.

To life.

But beyond each limit-

Form and space:

You and i...

Us and them:

Weightless-

We belong.

To the stars, the futures we imagine-

The stories we tell-

The dreams we wander to

In the undertow of time.

That is why

Even now...

I will always love you.

Always seek to be present:

Within and without.

Knowing in life

We will

Never be.

Spiraling loops

Hopelessly dumbstruck

By your silent song-

Your mind,

A melody.

The one thing grounding existence:

A single bond-

Gravity-

Even if

Existing

Only

In imagination.

...I cannot fight the pull,

Your smile,

In a galaxy

Of mirrors-

Games of life

And dark.

Somewhere,

Sometime:

We have chosen

This path, this light-

Discovery:

I was the silent moon.

Orbiting

In time.

Never drowning,

A ghost

In the night-

Today.

Each moment in time

Holds space

For story:

Magic mirrors

Shimmering

With dreams

Cast from

Ais.

Knowing patience.

My time, a canvas

Of love:

Gratitude.

Just a fraction-

A drop,

One swirling color,

Of the light

You shine.

Of our

Senses and hearts

In synesthesia,

Locked away in a chest

You never meant

To open.

Each fool embraced

By the hands of time:

I dream these worlds

With you.
