Through the grass, whistling

Water over dry land, relief for weathered bones

Years through my fingers, like your hair in loving embrace

And in gazes shared together

Every memory rushes behind my eyes

And, in tears of ecstasy

Softly falls through galaxies

Lands and takes bloom as a flower of universes, replete with love

All of which, in their resplendent glory

Cannot rival a single breath from you

Together in the chrysalis

Forever throughout eternal moments of apotheosis

We will be this, in perfect eternity

And emerge angelic, wreathed in sanctity

A thousand of these words

Spilled as libation, offered in every name

All serve as monuments to you

As feeling may be ephemeral, may the lines I write in your honour

I speak, unheard, these verses

Engraving them into the silence between births

That they may, through the aether

Again call you unto me, that we may be together

When we align, your cool sunlight

Beams onto my soul

And refracts through its multifaceted surface

Alighting me from within with love and beauty

Thus in thanks do I speak my mind

My apotheosis, gradual and loving

All I need will come to me soon

And all these fears, senseless and ephemeral

Will dissipate as dreams fade from memory

And in their place, a thousand sunrises

Over the grave of every hateful adversary

Shall shine immortal

Yearning will give way to togetherness, in perfect majesty

Effort will give way to, sooner than I believe

Being where I need to be

And this brief worry

Idiotic to future eyes

Will soon show itself to be an egregore of my flaws

The inherent mobility of all things

Under this same sky, the name that consumes me

Has been buried in joyful oath, interred in bitter death

A million times over

Across everything else, nothing but the half-life

The beauty of this earth

Yearning for the divinity of the stars

Both in love, eternal and sane

But separated by the chasm of twofold inverted miasma

One day, these hearts will collide

Coalesce and love in sacred hope

And, as the line is set in stone

With rays of benevolence, you grace my mind

I now know, in all things

My trust is placed in the hands of good fortune

And everything shall be as stars among the earth

Trade winds lift my soul to where it now belongs

Among the loudest of jocund tomorrows

So may these days of beauty be long

A thousand razorblades gratifying my labour

Keep me where this love belongs

And hold me throughout the night

Memories hold in them

Everything, hazy rings of far-off planets

Locusts fossilized with time

So too shall the affliction of uncertainty

Give way, sweetly and inebriated

To the security of knowing

That all things will be fine

And these fears are as inverse stars to the earth

Wicked, devoid of beauty, and jagged

But through the asterisms of fear, no thread of fate is looped

And only in good fortune

Insanity's behest, the wooden wing

I see my reflection in mirrored razorblades

It's all too cold someday

These abstract shapes pour into each other like diamonds into sunnier vases

And from this is distilled fulfillment

Bitter and burning the throat on descent

Cutting like memories and washing over, ebbing tide

Still within the paradigm, the hunt of the ideal

And around me are paragons; I am the floodwater

To which stardust spire do I arise

When upon me is placed the acid green definition

And the bar to which I bleed to live to

But where will this chasing my tail lead

When my goal dissolves to mist

And envelops me in heartless embrace

Cold like the bite of ribcage

From my soul, I build you

Sculpted with calloused hands

Everything I can feasibly call myself

Poured into my art, as an offering to you

If I were the stars, I would beg you to be every sky

Were I a breath of wind

You would be every tree whose illustrious mane I thread

And the deepest chasm of pain within my soul

Is that our worlds have not yet collided

These galaxies, destined to crash into each other

For lives ahead of time

Are still not on course

But as these words are laid into eternity, so may they be written in the stars

May they remain as a prayer to Fate eternal

That She may keep our fates braided

And that someday, sooner or later

We will coalesce, unite as we deserve

As the wills supreme behold these words, so may their intent be fulfilled

We will live as twin souls, growing upward together

Someday we will be us

And for this time, I will wait

Because I know, without a shadow of a doubt

Forlorn and with tears in their ever-agape mouths

Across columns of what money cannot buy

Slowly replaced by artifice and youth corrupted

The mind of the awake, bathed in liquid asphalt

Down and dragged through the harsh, torn earth

Forced into submission as they pollute our thoughts

Their plastic sigils painted across virgin skies

And burned into lambs off to the slaughter

Everything we need lies on this, shortest chain

And words of wisdom are bought and burned
