I’m like the quantum
Only constant
When you’re searching
When you need me
It’s physics
The way you come and go
Gravitational waves
And I’m the airless space
I needed you
Your voice was lost in the singularity
That void left after the nova
I’ll voyage by the light of my own stars
Another can map the celestial freckles
On your face
Today I drove by the house
Where I first lived with her
The house that love built
And labored through
Before love left
Today I drove by the parking lot
Where my grandmother
Spoke her final words
Laughed her final laughs
Before she left
Tomorrow could define
The places I sat today
As meaningful or empty
When today leaves
Mouth covered by reeds
Clawing through water
At the glittering sun
Above the surface
No screams
No silence
Just your heartbeat
Rhythms in the deep
Face drenched in sunlight
Rays dancing on the surface
Serenity’s lakeside
Beneath the cloud-sails
No screams
No silence
Just your heartbeat
Rhythms in the deep
Celestial or terrestrial
Or a little bit of both
Star born, earth bound
We’re the annihilation
And the hope
I’ve been here before
There’s no difference
Broken is broken
Drowned is drowned
Buried is buried
But tomorrow I’ll be above ground
I miss you
The stars after we’d visit
Seem a bit dimmer now
And monster movies
Aren’t nearly as monstrous
A rustle on the leaves
A shimmer on the surface
A brush on my face
You undermine my tension
In the subtlest of ways
It’s elemental
The way we go together
Like fire and ice
The silkiest steam
Terrified no more
(Just slightly anxious)
Sunlight
Does the anxiety-wracked body good
(Calms the nerves a bit)
Into my depths of black
Glowing serenity spins
(I think I mean you)
It holds the hills
Summer blades emblazoned
Glow of gentle grace
Warmth on winter’s face
Sol
Soulful
Now simply a star
Staled by study
Aten toppled
Man’s myth marred
Sol
Soulless
