I dim my sight
Imagine your breath
stroking
the hairs of my chest
With eyes clasped shut
I embrace thoughts
of times past
which never came to pass
I heard you say
you'd never leave this
Nuzzled close
to stave the sorrow
Eyes open, caressing silence
I lie here, stuck in the morrow
I still grasp for
a time to come
far from my fingers
out of reach
Your breasts swim
upon my sea of skin
Ride the current
Drown in warmth
Then you slink
beneath the velvet
draping
your mane across my face
My fingers
slide to stem the tide
flowing
from your tear spout
I smile, and you respond in kind
clad in my touch, stripped of doubt
The eyes of Janus
gaze this past
fixed on
this flickering future
The two poles meld
coagulate
as they bleed into
something else;
the memories
of time spent
entwined
enshrined from reality
seduced by this realm chemical;
this life unlived, chimerical...
