In the dark:
Quilts lay beautifully exposed.
Each square
bare to the world.
A patch of bleed-bright memory,
sewn
from lovers' tendencies
to shine.
While the sun and moon play tag,
and the transition
imprints us a vision of Light
we knew not resided
at night.
Likewise, a photograph flash
in the face
reveals to vivid eyes,
phantom shadows dancing
all over the place.
A light-switch works two ways
to fulfill its function,
as one flick covers
the other's blind side
while working together
to accentuate one another.
Flick.
Flip.
Flick.
Flip.
Until bulbs POP...
And the burst of Passion's
aftermath
quietly hovers
as stardust,
illuminating
the unlocked potential
of limitless lovers.
My love, we are not as temporary
as poetry,
Nor eternal
as the beyond.
But I'll be elated to know
that Forever won't come
'til we're
gone.
