The madness follows the glamour
As one sings the virtues of life
And stumbles—
Stumbles across one’s own tongue
I trip
I trip on my words
Words —
Words that are eaten up
All the clocks are broken
No past
No future
Just now — just ache
Still looking
For words that match
Tethered to earth
Foot grounded
I write of something else
Yet somehow —
All my words contain you
You see,
There’s a whole life in an hour of love
I forge a dreamscape
Free to fly
Unmasked layers
Look — look into my eyes
I’m full,
Full of you
Gaze —
Gaze into starred infinity
Our breaths clouding —
An unbroken silence
Let us be among the few
Who dance — who flow
Let the sun, let the moon — sing for us
Dance — dance to the rhythm of our lives
Let the universe rhyme
Rhyme in ink — in poetry
In us — in love
