abyss

come long unto this

stillness state

where injuries fade

and dreams elate

i only speak for me

and scant perspective

not seeming unity 

tempered reflective

judged and treated thus

our worlds so far apart

not deserving of a lover's trust

nor grace within the heart

thank you for the pallid truth

so hard to say or to know

regarding earthen proof

if we're reaping what we sow

or is this just a shadow play

of what we knew before

the sycophants will have their say

beyond the gaping door

two hearts set to plough dark fields

disconnected and alone

we are as e'er what wanting yields

an ever shifting home

so i shall say to you again

as these wings are lent to sky

description renders love mundane

and therefore i must fly

away from this world's proprietary

claim on all things rare

whether ethereal or incendiary

earth, sea, or air

for to affix such shackled terms

unto dreams of love like this

as one bleeds, one surely learns

it is worse than hell's abyss
