Eyes That Look Away But Never Fade
Hands separated fingers unentangled that
Breach boundaries vague ethereal foundries
Where love and laughter and lust and
Pain were manufactured
Fractured illusive lights I run I sprint
I fly out of practicality the danger the greed
The deep-seated need for the unattainable: that which is
Unexplainable is craved for by the gut-craze
That captured me or was it she
That drove me here to
Languish in the joy &
Terror of a never
Ending night?

O God the stars-
The stars that stare
That swell that overflow
The banks that eat the rock
That erode the path that I walk
Grasp that fades insidiously fast
Invisible, it never existed
Because the memories
That never were
Were scars or
Blisters in
Time that
Blurred.

We danced- how we danced!
We loved- how did we love!
We dreamed we felt we merged
Above hovering in that ethereal
Place of the heart where nothing
Touches but everything is.
Beyond what I knew it couldn't be a dream
Stabbed by joy that found purchase in the
Slag of my molten soul, that allowed the hot tears
To freely roll at the magnificence of it all.
The foreverness that I felt, the beauty
Pure and raw of togetherness without
Any end, this is eternity, in eyes
That look away but never fade.

Curious, do you write the poems depending on the length of the lines so theu have a visual shape? Brings a whole new meaning to the term 'poetic form' - very nice!

Yes, I like playing with line length sometimes :)
Other times it's more freeform..
Glad you enjoyed..!
