Liquid Petals

One tear, falls away, grippingly and gravitational,

yes, she knows there's nothing to say

She will not give away, rejoining her own kind

she won't find them, she will be them

Cloudy where we lay, just another puddle, occasional

what is there to say? again, inked in pen

I don't know, identities regained in these crowds?

do lovers sway self balancing sounds?

Enough battlegrounds, I've seen too much of them

so many rounds before I found meaning

In my directing line. Screaming in my quiet sign,

static and grey, it is drawn in the ceiling

drowning the unmailed opus, the two of us

looking in, we could see who was my lotus.

But don't blossom. Stay.

Questions?

Can you see behind this amalgam of spurious
Words I hide within?
Will you fade away the notion that I am furious?
In me, just get in

Or I will get in you, will we get in each other?


Licking our thoughts, drenching them in loving meaning?
Merely pretending to wash us down, just another feeling?

Is there a nexus of intentions?
Between delicate lures?
Perhaps a bond of connections?
Jolting on all of yours?
Are there ever enough common notions?
To blend in all these scattered emotions?

Turn off these flickering lights
And hear me breathe
No more meaningless fights
Are we all we need?

But by the last reels
There will be no more jokes to tell
No more stories to share
All that's left inside this inner shell
Is nothing but the way it feels
In this kaleidoscopic heaven in hell
I still love the way she peels
Layers through layers
Effaced masks, broken seals

They're always bottled up outside
Faint and skin-deep impressions
Showing lies going through the tide
Until there are no more questions

No more questions left
In our last cardiac theft
In our dazed rest, in arrest.

Looking to the ground

Inexorable, undistorted inevitability
The secret beyond secrets
An unrelentless absence of availability

The certainties paged in a dream of those to be
The sacred relics born in gifts of those that were

We were not created together
And we won't die tomorrow
But we will disconnect this tether
Reconnecting
In unwavering thoughts of
Intersecting

Defined by and defining essences of a human
A human that is.

Exchanging

Exhaling
Inhaling

And camly

Talking
