I listen with my eyes
I am colored grey to black
black to blues
ups
and downs
resembling distance
staggered in a beaten rhythm
like memory's dark
rumor
trying to catch a dream
between need and attraction
midnight of desire
enveloped by dreams
beneath the somnolent farewell
of the crescent moon
my lips open to say
"Please forget my name”
my shadow is my shame
buried deep into my pleas
falling to my knees
beneath this desecrated paradise
I am ambushed
not able to recreate that caressing
by an encountered kiss
I am nefarious
and shattered
go unfold languorous muse
watch
the
clouds gathered swirl
unable to penetrate
the obscure sky
Well.... every word of this
Well.... every word of this touched home. It was so beautiful. You are brilliant as always. Have a happy new year Dylan and be safe!
