It is within the negative space that images are drawn
And in absence of presence, what's loved is lost
To the distance of time.
For she resides outside my embrace,
With return lost to the future.
The eternity that will be spent in these four walls
Makes the loss a curseful blessing.
What is commonly buried under leagues of practice,
Shall escape in hardships forceful.
For if beauty may be conceptualized
And love sewn in my arid mind,
Then what hope does cynicism have?
No love shall be lost in these seconds
That I pray shall eventuate to the future.
Yet the path is infinite from the now
And treacherous to the altering mind.
The Content of Seconds
"...infinite from the now..." marvelous image.
