My shoes are wet from running through a delirious heat,
Empty of a place where a grey world full of echoes speak
Tongues spun from reverb like a preacher singing to a heart of concrete
I’m no tired no, just floating in this sea of entropy
Wedged between mist and shadow,
Where the rain stops only to send a chill through your lovely bones.
And not unlike a storm, Torrential signs serve to replace
The contrived progress of what I’ve come
to learn behind your spare change
I’d like to retro synthesize this connection
If only to visualize a reason from our solution
Keeping in mind things fall apart when you dig too deep.
But I love that life is beatiful when I see you
Careen through these spaced that we occupy
While counting backwards from five
Nothing but a simplified nonchalance
As we fail to take off.
But without hesitation we push it all along
Uncertain rhythms that I fall upon,
Like winter in a spring that we cut across
With our razor soul.
And I have to laugh at it,
All this rhetoric the debate of spoken prose and con,
That when I see you its like a switch turn me on the spot.
To overload this light bulb and spark this resistor,
And it makes me forget everything except that time when I kissed your
Lips finding common ground such a beautiful turn.
That time when Eyes collided
Transcending questions ignited
Silenced by the furious fire
of the finite.
But what are we left with, if not questions we can’t answer?
But I sit with an elixir in hand watching clouded spirits pass,
Watching the law of thermodynamics prove our bound spirituality
That what is real is seated in the rational, the metaphysical world that we all have.
That it is beautiful,
That it contains me and you.
That it is not lost in the consequences of victories and mistakes that we try to prove.
And I can breath in your heartbeat,
Taste the smell of you imparted upon my sheets,
Hear the sound of a nestled jumbled dream
Echoed from a mile between you and I.
But the truth of the matter love is that we are worlds apart,
Divided yet interconnected in this maze of questions,
I have to ask, where do we start?
Like a tempo in tune it was ephemeral, ethereal
Startled by a touch and a ripple in this water
That, undisturbed, was so clear.
But I’ll settle it in a place where hearts fear collision
Where the rhythm of indecision won’t keep me from
sweet freedom.
And I’ll see smiling faces
Where the love below isn’t kept hidden,
where woven words created aren’t just traces of places in time
Where we fall and fail to iterate a tone of complacent
Unity.
And somehow I’ll walk along the stream that runs to your sea,
Letting it be at peace
Just a taste of wisdom imparted upon a dream.
Listen to my feet, listen as we take steps beyond fragements
Beyond concepts that have us reeling.
And when time dictates limitations,
I’ll replace this heat of delusion with limitless precision.
To define the beauty of this world of words.
Reduced to just the parts of you and I
Unified perfection of peace at the moment
Our soul’s take flight.
And as these fireworks strike at the twilight,
I’ll be replaced by a calm that spreads across my sky.
Until you and I are nothing left but concepts of the stars above
Until I see no more.
Until I’ll see no more.
