Me, the moment, and your words….
Last night; betrayed by the strain in the beam
I’d nearly fall from grace
Undermined by the unrelenting song of doubts
Knees bent, pulse rattled, soul shaken, and mind
In recession
My shadow shudders as the night serenades
Me to the reverbs of your delicate plea
Compelling, longing, my heart yearning for
Your touch, aching for the hunger in your lust
Nostalgic the accent of love, for one moment
Through this surplus of time
Your words encircled the wagons, I laid silent
Reveling in intimacy, the nightly conjuring of
Despair, frolic the ghost that prey upon my
Memories like a predator
Lifetimes in fray with this madness that feigns
Sanity
Suddenly the rare prospect of fear revitalized me
My eyes shut I’d allow your voice to intoxicate me
Slow to sink in the big hush
The words dance, swirl and sing, painting
Murals of passion and pain, the portrait of a love
Made legendary
The fevered moment archived every tear to ever
Spoil the pages of my memory
All the kisses and promises scattered in the wind
The tracks washed away in the rain, nothing
Remains but the tainted blood on my lips and
The lush lipstick soiled on my kiss
Ravished by intimate strangers, scantly remnants
Of a nirvana entrenched in wounds, trussed by the
Faint echo of you, translucent ink, subtle hues
The moment seized my foreboding restraints only
Sympathetically, and for just one moment …
The moment my dreams became reality
Your words consumed me, warmth tendered
For a second they’d be just what I need
All I’d ever known, that which I cherished most
They’d become what I fear, what I want
For one moment they were me
Clarity so lucid it hurt my eyes
The moment liberated my dreams
Fleeing as I’d finally felt whole again
When the dreaded eternity seemed less than
Tedious
Abrupt as it began it’d be over suddenly
My heart stolen, the ghost deceased
I’m host to this most precious conspiracy
Wings spread, anxious to leap and soar on
Butterfly wings, it all vanished, your delicate
Song never to be heard again
And I hanging by the reverbs; dangled from the
Strain, desperately clinging to life and limb
All your gracious lessons, taught me humility
Words delivered synergy, a deeper grasp of my
Vulnerabilities
Proffered by this beloved art of expression
Your gift of eternal consummation united him
And I here inside and out, yet forevermore.
I will pause this night to celebrate his life… Your verse describes a significant influence and connection with a very beautiful being…
I wish you healing from your loss and reunification in a place beyond time!
Giving respect to someone’s valuable contributions is really appreciable.
As long as someone valuable contributions are alive, that person is always alive.
I am so saddened to hear of the loss of a beautiful soul. Thank you for keeping his legacy alive.
Thank you Jo…he has so many pieces that I love…it was hard to choose just one
A very beautiful tribute Nic…
