you move like a ghost

the light finds you

like a plume of smoke

in a dark room

and you're a shapeshifter

ever-moving and elusive

like a shadow projected on the ground

the ghost sea

her name escapes me
the crease on her neck when she'd try to

conceal a grin did not

i will forget everything she ever promised me.

i already have.

she's not concerned with the wind or how

it could silently sweep her secrets away

she just lets it happen

and we are meant to sit there and admire her beauty.

i did.

and now, when i look at her, i don't see a palatable thing

i see a temptress and a harbinger of gloom

and that is the last memory that remains

i reach for you

you disappear, never here

a filament - broken, bent

but worked for me

ethereal beneath it all

you were to me

concede you to infinity

i lay down my widowed crown

for eternity

lament the sound

of hearts unbound-

a tragedy

demise of our affinity

transcend the gulf

uncertainty consuming me

i lie awake beneath the shade

of vacuity

drowning in the wake

of memory

the blue sky
acts as a backdrop.
the sun is burning today.
i falter
as i reach out,
out to the edge,
and i tumble away.
and i flutter so slowly.
and you watch me.
and hope that i find my way.
but the way it is long,
and i never knew the size of the sky.
and i hope that my sight
does not evade your eye.

the ground is warm.
and your hands,
as they touch me,
they make me feel alive.

it's everywhere i'm looking, the only thing i see
the walls of love collapsing and falling down on me
i cannot take the pressure, it's coming down on me
just like water, it's coming down on me

i know i'm always calling and you can't count on me
nothing more to offer, nothing more in me
i took it all for granted, you took it all from me
just like we wanted, the way it had to be

my body's just a vessel and you can drift in me
get lost in all the madness, end up finding me
not what you expected, not that i was me
just like water, you drowned inside of me

the sun today hangs low

afraid to get too close

knowing the danger he will impose

destroying what he only wants to hold

makes him want to run

to the sky above

but there's nowhere left to go

she's down below

a flower in a sea

she's reaching up to be

warm inside his arms

he can't control the flames

disparate they remain

you move me

in the darkness to you.

outside, so fragile, like paper

you show yourself to me

one secret at a time

until they all die

and then you hide

in your perfect symmetry

floating like a mystery

deep in the darkest

place inside of me.

a white, incandescent

beautiful sight.

a radiating light.

admiring the simplicity i see.

a picture reveals

the danger underneath.

you cannot survive.

my eyes too frail a sheath.

a breath dissolving you like teeth.

in time you will shed this duplicity

and reveal yourself to me.

reveal yourself to me.

time will underestimate me

but i will die for this

unearthly awakening
